ryancat-85 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 nice motors mate, was the sti the one that was in march motors ? the boy in my street just sold his 1 like that, had different wheels and window tints but i was just wondering if it was his. don't think he's on here, you've prob seen his new white 07 that is kickin about elgin the now.
dan_jess Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Some very nice cars ther mate, how much did u let the evo5 go for?
glen_cadwallader Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 Frank, cheers bud heres my business site, I also own some property and a shop. Ryan, no bud, I got this through a mate Gary McKnockiter he runs RM cars, basically he gave me the heads up as it got traded into macrae and dick in ness, against a new rangey, the cars from wick one owner, orgionally bought from dicksons in inverness. This one has the prodrive pack bud, gets it upto over 280bhp the standard sti 261 I think. Ive sold a few cars to march motors but never bought one from him, he wants to much money for them !! Ive seen your pals white 07 yes bud, im no fan of them are you ? that rear spoiler things pretty bad ! Fai cheers mate, the WR1 has only done 15k,. and absolutley mint, only comes out of the garage on sunny days
glen_cadwallader Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 Dan, I sold it via Pistonheads, 10k no offers and thats what I stuck to., I had two complete assholes round viewing it, they were lucky I didnt run them over, the whole concept of going to view a car without cash in hand knowing you have a car to sell yourself totally amazes and bemuses me LOL
ryancat-85 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 got to disagree, think the 07s tidy but your right bout enough bout the wee roof spoiler. had a look at your slideshow, is that a pic of sean polishing the AMG ?
glen_cadwallader Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 heh well spotted bud it is indeed, good lad he is likes his beer though !! Cant say ive seen your car going about elgin ?
oobster Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Very nice machinery you have owned & own just now [Y] I was going to suggest your a big show-aff barsteward for having two scoobs but then I seen the size of your arms in the slideshow so I don't think i'll bother! []
glen_cadwallader Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 pmsl, thanks bud, I think its safe to say Im a subaru man
ryancat-85 Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 ill av to get him to polish my car [] am aways goin about so it shudna be long till you spot it.
glen_cadwallader Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 You'll be lucky mate, he has enough trouble just turning up for work LOL Il keep an eye for you bud
scouk Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Gawd man you have good taste in cars!! I'd be interested in a brief comparison between the evo and scoob though [] Got chucked about by my brother in his RB320 last week and I can honestly say the suspension is spot on! It's firm but you don't feel it firm! Difficult to explain but WoW! it works! I believe the RB320 suspension kit will soon be available for STi's! Well worth the upgrade IMHO Quote am always goin about so it shudna be long till you spot it. Sure I spotted you wheels parked up at the east side of Forres the other week.
cullenmin Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Two scoobys, nice 1...and sellin an evo to get another scooby. I like your style. If I see you going about it'll be big waves fe me! You should pop along to the next meet to say hi! Rich
glen_cadwallader Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 RB320 is cool bud, I was watchin one at crail on the Jap day. The WR1 already has the Prodrive WRC handling kit as they call is lol. Obviosly the other sti I have just the normal high riding suspension, its ok tho for my needs lol. Re the scooby evo thing. Thats a big subject LOL, as you know ive had 3 evos', 8 scoobs of all guises from the Classic wrx's to new age wrx's classic sti's., new age sti's etc etc People hark on about evo's and how they are so great and so much better, but half the time they have never made a good comparison by driving to equal cars. To do the test you have to take a standard evo 5 and place it against a standard sti import or along those lines. i.e both have 276bhp So having had both of those, I can tell you that theres nothing in it performance wise mate. Handling wise, id say the evo probably is slightly more sharp and precise. Evo's are built poorly and always need money thrown at them tho, hence im done with them once and for all now. My last one the 5, was as mint as you can get, but even that needed something doing every week, it was a joke. Id stick with your scoob bud, if your gonna change again id got for a ver 5-6 sti properly modded up just to say 320bhp, you wont find a quicker car on the road, they are superb. Or if you can, a mint P1, I loved mine, they are awesome. The new age sti's are ok but they need more power ! If I can answer any direct questions bud just ask I can only try !

Rich Thanks rich, il keep an eye for you, Im through your way a lot., Im not really that keen on meets bud, what does everyone do ? They just seem to stand about and chat ? I wouldnt like to go unless I knew folk there, and im probably a bit older than most at 33 coming 34. Maybe a RR day or something I was thinking about organising one in Ellon.

Woah, never ever though of changing the scoob! Especially for an evo!! It's just good to get a point of view from someone who's had both, that doesn't happen very often thanks! next car, in quite a few years time will probably either be a 320bhp STi (possibly hawkeye) or just beef up my bugeye a bit more, but would prefer the better suspension set-up available on the STi! although may be tempted by a RB5, WR1 or RB320, but if I'm honest the leather seats in the RB320 are poor they just don't hold you in as well as other seats! [:|] The standard sport seats in my WRX have better side support. (But they dont look as good)

Maybe a RR day or something I was thinking about organising one in Ellon. I organised the last one at Elgin, turn out was quite good with 7 scoobs and Scooby222 in his motorbike also joined us. We all chatted in Elgin (to get to know eachother etc) then a wee run to Nairn, had another wee chat at the harbour then set off to granton, wee chat then back to Elgin/Keith heading homeward. I've got to know some of the guys by just going to the meets, we are all like minded people with the same interest, Scoobys. At some of the other meets in Inverness we have had a wee run and then went for something to eat afterwards. If a run isnt quite your thing then you can still just show face for the banter etc. If you were to organise a RR day at ellon then I would definately be up for it (providing I was not workin) [] Rich
