tiny gsy Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Couldn`t post them until I`d cleaned it could I Forgot how much effort clay barring is though lol
scooby princess Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 nice choice there tiny - very tidy who's the lady?
CLR7 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Not sharing the love here.......not sure why you would replace your scoob for that imo....
tiny gsy Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 well the scoob had got to the point that I found it noisy and took too much effort to drive it to work every day. Not only that but with mine only doing 100 miles per tank of fuel it was costing a fortune to run, insure and especially maintain. I still had a list as long as my arm that I wanted to do to it but didn`t want to put any more money towards it after the amount it had cost me since I`d owned it. Also, after twice having the heads done, I didn`t have the confidence in its reliability any more to take it over to the mainland to see you lot but Iknew that it was killing it beng stuck over here all the time. Now that I`ve sold it though, it will be dead soon as even though I did tell them, the newones insist on driving everywhere with the antilag switched on! The Lexus, is comfortable, more economical and a completely different sort of car to which I am actually much happier with. Its got heated, electrically adjustable seats, a 6 speed gearbox and surprisingly, considering I`m 6 foot 4 I have plenty of headroom. I`m hoping to be over in the next few months for a weekend so if all works to plan I`ll hopefully be seeing some of you then

CLR7 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Yeah totally understand the cost aspect with owning a scoob.... To be honest i was one of these that hated subaru's, and it wasn't till my mate persuded me to drive one that i realised how awesome they were to drive and how solid they feel not to mention its power and handling and for me thats worth the extra expense even tho i cant afford it at times.....lol As long as its a car you love driving everyday then who is to argue....
stum450n Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Do I recognise these pics from ISN? Tidy looking IS... nearly got one over the scoob. Glad I didn't in the end though!

You`d be surprised how much of a difference it actually is mate to be fair. Not only that but there`s nowhere I could play over here in the scoob as the roads just aren`t big enough for anything other than a quick blip of the throttle. When I first got into scoob ownership I was living with my parents but since my stepdad ran off with my now ex-missus, I now have to pay all the rent and bills so it would have taken me a long time to get the scoob to a stage I was happy with. Stum450N, yes mate although I`ve never owned a sport I`ve been on ISN for a good few years now, always found it quite welcoming
