lescazscoob Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 well after the recent dramas over wrong car colour etc i went on the hunt and found a black wrx import, it needs some love and a good clean as it had been lying due to the guy getting a company car. so lots of polish and elbow grease later i have a " REAL " scooby. someone has keyed the door so need this painted but nothing serious just a wee tidy and personalised. i knew they were fast but my god i didnt realise that it would be this quick, i have used £40 of petrol in under a day (it cost me less than that to run the sport for a week!!!) we have lots of things we now want to do but there is not enough hours in the day??? also on picking the car up i have noticed SIDC stickers on the car so it may have been someone off this sites car?? reg is k98 ejh ring any bells? and thanks to the blue v reg wagon driving past in kirkliston for waving as i was panicing with traffic and a screaming baby in the car!! made me smile and remember what this site is all about. well anyway will get pics up when i get a chance, and im away to look out the window again and smile!![]
RA Dunk Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 get yer pics up m8 , show us yer beast! (meaning yer car lol) []
david_taylor Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Nice one mate, congrats! You will not believe how greedy they are on fuel. I used to budget £100 a month when I had the mondeo, but I put in close to £250-300 now! Worth it though!
lescazscoob Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 all pics are pre wash and wax and are pics old owner took and to be honest not the best either. will post pics up as progress gets under way to make it just the way we want it.
RA Dunk Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 looking ok m8 , i bet a good seeing to with polish and some wax will really do it justice []
oz *sti* Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Congrats again [Y] I'm sure you will love every second driving the car - Like dtabbit77 said the scooby is a greedy car when it comes to fuel but every penny is worth it []
frank c Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Chuffed for you m8... You;ll be smiling for ages yet.. Frank
nkwrx Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Well done m8! I also had a Sport, for the last 7yrs in fact, until May this year. Got a WRX and it really is a quantum leap in every sense especially the GRIN[]factor! Good luck with the car.
sharon_mccall Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Congrats on the car........looks very tasty[Y]. Happy TURBO motoring. []
st3ph3n Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Good stuff. Kick the tyres and light the fires. I feel the need ..... the need for SPEED.

Double Zero Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Congrats on getting the car mate ive had my WRX five weeks now and probably spent around £350 on petrol worth it though. Happy Motoring Mate.
vicki Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Isn't it weird how these cars make you smile so much? Nice car, enjoy it []
lescazscoob Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 the smile is stuck on at the moment, had a moment of panic as the speedo cable come loose??? and car went into safe mode. i have not been so worried in my life i thought i had broke it but all fixed. the petrol bill is a bit worrying but its a scoob and i love it!!!!!! thanks for the comments[]
