awesome pics mate,great stuff.

yes very humourous, I wonder did clarkson know he was getting pushed in lol heres the truck used if anyone is interested http://www.arctictrucks.com/

Tell me about it mate !!! Ive seen them all ten dam times over argh, I know them word for word.

cheers for that, il have a watch tonight.

hmmm, massive improvement on other pics ive seen mate.

LOL im 33 mate, and ive had sat nav in every car iver ever owned except my scoobs !! The day is coming tho !

Nice purchase mate !! They are bad for stone chipping on the front splitter thats normal, I had one back in 2002 for 6 months, cracking car. Enjoy.

No probs Richard, a lot of guys dish out advice but they really havent got a clue on these forums ! Hope to see you at some of the meets etc. Glen

welcome bud nice motor, dont bother with a turbo timer, when the cars sitting running after a hard run your probably not doing it much good as it generates even more heat stationary. Best thing to do is run the car down slowly for the last few miles before you come to a halt, no high revs and no hard braking,. cool it down on the move where you have added airflow, when you pull up 10 seconds at idle then switch off.

Nice one, fantastic way to get into some motorsport, I had a Nova rally car for a while it was an ex macrae driven car, all the best with it m8.

Thanks Euan, and il look into the Ellon as a venue, and see what there pricing structure looks like

Nice looking motor bud, welcome aboard, good choice.

cool hi mate, ok il look into it, nice road from the A96 cutting across to ellon

Excellent, il get onto it guys

Yes mate miles better than an Sti your loking at 261bhp in an sti as opposed to 320bhp in the WR1 which comes with active diffs all round, and a whole host of extra's only 500 ever made. Youd be 18-20k for a MINTER with low miles. A reasonable one 17k. Ive got a 03 prodrived sti aswell its got the upgrade from prodrive to 301bhp, its pretty good I have to say, but for the real mccoy you need a WR1.

Yep fair point bud, if your getting offered good money then just sell your car, it will be exciting getting something different. Could you maybe stretch to a WR1 ? Nows the time to find a minter and stick with it they are down 10k on new price perfect time to buy, you'd loose very little over the next two years. I understand your hankering for an M3 aswell, been there, love them but there is just something about them which doesnt hold me for long, and its not because they are pricey to run, because they arent !! People who say that have no clue, even dealership servicings reasonable.

No probs mate, I guess you need to try an evo, I am sick to death of them now, had enuff lol, im sticking to subaru

If you cant afford a decent one, i.e a post 2003 M3 I wouldnt bother mate, you will be setting yourself up for expense putting it right. Ive owned 3 of them and an M5 a 53 plate in estoril and a 54 plate in carbon black. The pre 2003 cars all had a recall as the bottom end bearing shells were failing, do you really want to buy an M3 that has had the crank shells removed and refitted, by a bmw dealership ?! When you blow an M3 engine, unless you can get a second hand one for 3-4k your looking at 10k to get a new one fitted through BMW. And im not atall biased, im on my 8th scooby, also had 3 evo's. They are stunning cars just make sure you get a proper one. The running in service MUST be in the book.

Appreciated bud,. have to say I find this club much better than scoobynet.

hmm, ok bud, well he will probably be back to subaru after a few months. If there is one bit of advice you could tell him from me And that is Make 100% sure that the M3 he is buying has had its running in service, this must be done ideally before 1500 miles but most definitley before 1800 miles. A car without that is worth atleast 2 grand less. And buy a July 03 car onwards if atall possible. Cars with Black leather and sat nav are much more saleable to the tune of 1500-2k. Id also advise a manual not an smg. If he needs any questions answered bud, tell him to give me a shout,.

fai 17 cool m8 dont know him yet, has he got a M3 like ?!

Did you mean to put up a link or am i being a f.u.d ? lol yeh sorry mate www.moraysecurity.com We supply door stewards to nightclubs pubs, concerts etc etc etc Mainly Aberdeen to Inverness and every where in between.

Cheers Frank, I know im a boring fcker lol Ac!D Im pretty easy going bud and was quite keen to hear about there cars but my car was MINT if they had the money I know for sure they couldnt have found a better one, I just dont think they had the cash to buy it.

Good one mate, Youd be surprised, I was running Michelins on my M3, BMW have adapted the M3's traction control to allow the driver a bit of lee way in the wet, they have a pure beast of an engine, it revs like nothing else, only a CSL sounds better. Both cars 6 speed manuals, ah man this is a tough one, I reckon the WR1 would be gone in the rain, the M3 would be buggered, you just couldnt risk it. In the dry, Ive not been able to try it but Id expect just from my comparisons on certain stretches of private road, that then WR1 would have the M3 off the line upto 100mph, and then the M3 would be away, doubtful there would be much in it though, you know some of the figures released by subaru were not correct on the WR1 some cars had more torque than they were supposed to and some had much less bhp than 320, just so happens that my own personnal car at a rolling road day run by the WR1oc was the most powerful standard WR1 at 322bhp and 312ft/lbs torque, not bad, some cars had as little as 302bhp but to be fair they were all at varying states of being run in, mine had 7k on the clock and wasnt properly loose. Coming back to your question, The active front and rear diffs are good on the WR, its got phonomenal traction in and out of corners I dont think ive had a car that holds in the dry like the WR does. So heres my answer the M3 is a work of art its awesome beyond your expectations and its got CLASS and toys and still flies the WR1 its stunning to look at, it makes a fair enough noise, its rare, its got some nice touches, its a weapon. I think the Wr1 would win in the dry and the wet but not by much. This is the hardest choice ive ever had to make, Id take the WR1 and I have

Colzo, thanks buddy appreciated. Craigy, cheers mate, yeh I dont mind my daily runner getting dirty but my good cars stay in the garage at all times, never near car parks, nothing like that and if and when I can I get them detailed professionally and then I just maintain there good work
