gus the bus Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 That fozzy was one of the most comfortable cars I have ever been a passenger in. ......and the Legacy is much the same mate ALL the toys! lack of turbo is a shame but the 2.5 is capable. (had one back in 99) Gus

That fozzy was one of the most comfortable cars I have ever been a passenger in. agreed, your fozzy was the bees. Hope it is bought by an enthusiast and stays local. Good luck with the legacy, I reckon you're the most experienced guy on here for modding all types of Subarus
the blue dragon Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Gus mate, sorry to hear youve had to ditch project foz . Roll on project leggy Iain
gus the bus Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers folks! Just looking forward to doing the change over now so that I can forget about whats gone and concentrate on modding whats arrived
paul555sti Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers folks! Just looking forward to doing the change over now so that I can forget about whats gone and concentrate on modding whats arrived Good luck with the future plans mate. You can ride shotgun in the 555 for the Mcrae prodrive run if you want.
oobster Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 A shame Gus, but a nice Leggy, and in Red too. Hopefully, if funds allow, I might be joining you in the Leggy tourer club later in the year!
blueboy88 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers folks! Just looking forward to doing the change over now so that I can forget about whats gone and concentrate on modding whats arrived Will that nice lowered suspension fit mine m8? if it can a wee deal perhaps?
urban Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Gus, sorry to hear the forrester has had to go, i was looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. However, you know i like the leggy, the GTB we have is a great car to drive, really, really comfy on a long drive plus a superb tow car. Mines towing this weekend, wait til you see what on the trailer, i will send you a picture!! On thing, dont go shopping with the leggy, it can carry so much stuff!!! Everytime ours is a Makro i spend a fortune, if i take the STI its loads cheaper!!! Either that or i could just leave the missus at home?? Steve
gus the bus Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Good luck with the future plans mate. You can ride shotgun in the 555 for the Mcrae prodrive run if you want. Cheers Paul, might take you up on that

gus the bus Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 looks like project Fozzy may well be staying in the club
Alan-G Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) looks like project Fozzy may well be staying in the club Some of you guys may remember that we moved from Airdrie to N.W. Perth about 6months ago. Well here we are settling in. Fab-1 (the missus) has been hampered by the poor road holding performance from her front wheel drive Hyundai coupe (of the ScoobyIain detailing fame a while back) in these more than snowier conditions and wanted something more suitable for this more Northerly terrain and the hazards of bad road conditions in general. Being more than a sheep farming community and the amount of scoobies (mostly non turbo'd but in every shape and form from Justy's to Tribeca's0 is astonishing. I reckon than 1 in 25 cars you see is a scoob from one end of the spectrum to the other. So, bearing in mind (and me WRX requiring a service soon) checked out where AWD in Perth was and asked at a few dealers where the nearest Scooby outlet was - this was yesterday evening 18/01/08 BTW - and was pointed to the Inveralmond Ind. estate for a scooby retailer. So in went me and Fab-1 goes in to meet the salesman for a trade in. We got chatting about the new shape WRX and the legacy,forester,Justy,tribeca and scobs in general etc which was nice as this bloke knew his stuff. I said we were looking for a forester turbo and he had a branny sitting there with a huge price tag on it. No chance - too expensive. Next thing, he says , I've got a forester turbo on an 05/05 coming in tomorrow - Hmmm says me and Fab-1 - price ? £**,*** The usual inflated nonsense ! We talked aboot the features etc. Model being EXT-N with all the goodies and more - low mileage with warranties and stuff and then he made an astonishing remark. Mind - my last posting and actual viewing of the SIDC site was at the new year. He said gus is bringing it up tomorrow .... .... *thinking that it was not possible* I said "Gus the Bus?" Aye said the salesman as our Jaws hit the deck ! How spooky is that. Me good mates Forester, from nearly 90 miles away turns up for sale at a garage I never knew - in a city we have just moved to, by a salesman I have never set eyes on before ! Salesman is "Mako" on this site (Russ) So tonight 19/01/08 Fab-1 is now the proud owner of a wickedly super impressive (Vauxhall nova with the buckfast brigade - with all their skip hats back to front brigade) killer Edited January 19, 2008 by Alan-G
Dougie C Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Glad to hear the Fozzy has gone to a great home Dougie C
Fab 1 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Glad to hear the Fozzy has gone to a great home Dougie C I AM NOW A SCOOBY OWNER!! I can't believe it! Wanted a forester for ages and ages and ages. Never being able to source an XTen never mind one that's in budget! It's absolutely amazing! Still can't believe Alan and I walk into the subaru garage in Perth, to find out Gus 'the' bus forester, will be on it's way the next day! Waw! The scooby is fantastic, not driven it as yet, as we had Hollie with us and well errr...........she's a typical two year old and reeked noisy havoc today for a few hours at Perth Subaru dealership. Poor Russell! I'm sure he breathed a sigh of relief when we left the showroom, and it was once again it's usual place of scooby worship. What a salesman is Russell (AKA MAKO) Fantastic. None of your greecian, 14 tan stands and pre greased hand shakes......Just a fantastic completely down to earth subaru driver that happens to have the one of the best jobs, get's to work with Subaru, and get's to drive them all day everyday! I would completely recommend if anyone is looking to buy a scooby then Russell's your man And Gus.............. Your forester is in good hands! Edited January 20, 2008 by Fab 1
