Oh lads? I can go you one better than a Spy shot - http://www.sidc.co.uk/index.php?option=com...70&Itemid=1

Remember where you read it first.

[warby]

Where did you find that then?

[RA Dunk]

im liking that! seems to sit well low though dont it

[st3ph3n]

The Internet

The main website for the club is going to be a great source for Scooby news, just trying to get a bit of momentum going! Plus I want a test drive in one to do a review

Anyway - to the spy shots. Anyone notice the size of the front brakes? 6 pots?

[scouk]

HELP!!!! I'm starting to like it!!!!!!!

Those rear lights still need sorting out though..

[andy]

If anyone asks, I never saw this topic, right? It's copyright photos and it's leeching bandwidth I know nothing...

Oh, and I stand by my original statement on this car - you can't polish a turd

Audi for me next

[scouk]

Hmnn.. Heres a thing.. Would you buy it if it had a CM350 badge on it? A new Colin McRae edition with 350bhp? (note that's made up at this time but surely there will be a special edition) Despite the uglyness.. I believe I would...

ermm, no disrespect to Colin, but I wouldn't. Mind you, I hate the new model (and there's not many things I really hate)

Nice knowing you Subaru

[st3ph3n]

In all honesty - growing on me. The 06 I detested on its unveiling, but the front end slowly started to appeal to me.

I'm looking forward to seeing a 2008 in the flesh to really make up my mind, but I think it's got a bit more of a sleeper feel to it.

Having read some reviews of the new WRX there seems to be a general concesus of opinion that it's one damn capable car with a lot of improvements to be seen in terms of space and comfort. Performance too - although the US spec WRX is still running a 2.5 with a TD04 they are seeing good numbers. It uses a revised housing which sees better flow. 270lb/ft was seen on a car with JUST a very quick remap using a very beta bit of mapping technology.

The STI test mule on the ring certainly looked like VERY capable.

Audi for me next

Looking at any of these pictures still doesn't convince me. Have to see the STI in the metal to make my mind up. Sure it will probably handle and have great performance for the price, but am I the only one thats bought an Impreza because they love the looks? Audi S3 looking even more tempting for my next car.

[4Hero]

Definitely liked the looks of the previous models (apart from the bugeye, sorry bugeye owners). It took me 6 months or so before I really liked the hawkeye and decided to buy one.

Audi RS4 next

Still looks cack

[colzo]

Audi RS4 next

Got the RS4 brochure - well I say brochure, it more like a hardback book! - when I sent away for the S3 one, just in case my lotto numbers come up. Saw a few RS4s about and they look discreet but still have a presence. The Recaros in them are amazing, quality is an understatement.

Also no rear seats and a roll cage

they stopped making the rs4 though, so it'll have to be second hand

Any spare brochures, Any spare brochures

Bummer, never knew that. There`s always the new M3 I suppose.

[4Hero]

If the owner of the images decides he's had enough of people leeching his bandwidth and replaces them with Goatse or Gay porn, who's going to end up "pwnt"? S3ph3n" or the guy who leeched the photos?

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

I am only chuckling cos the big man prides himself on delivering new shots and mine blew his out of the water.........och the banter

[st3ph3n]

I didn't claim that my shot was better, just that it was an official shot.

The spy shot might not even be the standard STI. Who's to say it's not a mule for a spec c or RA, or even for some sort of touring car entry?

You'll also have seen these undisguised road shots I take it - http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/19/spy-sho...ti-on-the-road/
