Hi all

I've been looking in on this forum for some time now and finally thought I'd register and say hi.

I currently have an MY53 WRX Wagon in WR blue

It's pretty standard but it does have the upper and lower rear spoilers (which I think looks soooo much better than just the top one), a sport rear box and I fitted a Baily dump valve.

I've had it for nearly two and a half years now. It was my first scoob. I always wanted a scooby since my teens and when I got it I thought I'd keep it for a year just so I could say I had one and live my dream. I thought the running costs would be too high to keep it longer, but now I love it and have to have another, I couldn't think of anything better to replace it with!! Nothing else gives you that kind of smile on your face every time you get in and drive, but I guess you all know that

So............................ I have just got a great deal on a new G3 STI 330S and it should be here next week

Needless to say I'm quite excited, tho I'm sure loads of you don't like the new shape it works for me and deffo looks much better in the flesh than in any photo. I need the space in the back for my hobbies so I had to get the wagon, but now its a hatchback with the same amount of room inside I can finally have an STI..........and the 330S at that

I'll be taking the Baily valve off before I part ex it if anyone is interested??

Well thats it from me, I need to hit the sack, so will try to get some photos up soon, and see you round

Cheers

and hello from me....

i live in the same town,,not seen you

but then i'm blind most of the time(unless your female and wearing a short skirt)

Welcome aboard mate!

Hope you're happy with the new scoob... Been taken out in one and they're impressive! The looks are still taking a while to get used to though!

Thanks for the welcome

Matty

The 330 just comes with the 18" 5 spoke jobbies. They are a grey colour, so is the car. It should look quite stealthy

I'm not totally sold on the wheels, but again, they look better in real life than in any picture I have seen of them. I have thought I may try and sell them to someone who has bought a UK spec STI or WRX and wanted bigger alloys as they only come with 17". Then I could get some aftermarkets??

I've not seen that film yet, I'll just wait till its out on Blu-ray (I dont bother with the cinema any more, its **** compared to blu-ray at my house ), but my apprentices were saying it looks good in the film.

I've actually not seen a new shape Impreza on the road yet The other day my girlfriend clocked one around the Tesco roundabout, but I missed it (I was probably concentrating hard on trying to get through the bloody Bicester Village traffic jam ) but it could have been a Mazda 3

Ah..................well I usually wear long skirts so you would have missed me (I don't have the knees for short skirts) (..........I'm not really a tranny )

"will have to pop round when you have the 330,that will make two in bicester..."

Do you mean two 330's in bicester or two members in bicester?? Your more than welcome to pop over and cast a beady eye on her chris..........

I should really make an effort to attend one of your get togethers

Here is the only photo I have of my current ride................

It had just been driven all the way down to Charmouth in this photo, so a bit grubby...........

Cheers

must admight he did work hard for the car,not like some....

I can assure you I have too.............

We have been flat out at work for the last two years. Orders just kept coming in and we were working 60 hour weeks for two years. Also doing 3 in 4 saturdays on average. To be honest I'm quite glad of the recent downturn in the economy (purely for selfish reasons) as we have had a break in the workload since Christmas. Racing teams don't seem to be having their budgets released so quickly so the teams are not developing part for their cars as much or as quick. Some racing series are waiting for money so they can get going. So I think we will be busy again soon, probably right in time for summer, but I should not complain, we are all lucky to have jobs in the grand scheme of things

"you wont miss him..he lives in chesterton..."

I think my apprentices may know him?? I think they said he was chris and his whole family have scoobies?? Sounds good

Cheers
