Im in PA2 with a 07 wrx wagon under £700, your car must be modified?

The stickers make it noticeable, unless it was another 'welsh' at eaglesham garage.

But what will happen to the resale value of a scoob. Not that i intend to sell.

Mine says £300 which i need to buy this month, so it's £400. The notice said i could not buy on-line till the 15th so i thought i'd leave it till Monday.

Are these expensive items? Not expensive for the gains in handling IMO. Are they easily fitted? Still says on the site free fitting. Do they work? On Sunday i took a detour from Braehead shopping centre to Paisley via Greenock, Largs, Saltcoats, Kilwinning, Lugton & Barrhead just for the fun of driving.

After reading other comments on this forum over the past year i got ARB's, drop links, ALK, lowering springs and went for the fast road geometry at Hypertech last week. The car drives & corners very well, if i need other mods or want different geometry settings i will go back to Hypertech. They charged me list price for the ABR's, drop links, ALK but fitted theses parts for free. Jim.

I diden't explain the £199 bit and i stand to be corrected, but i understand that any claim of £200 or more you are responsible for the defendants costs if you lose.

I got over £400 for a hub and a tyer from Renfrew DC about 10 years back, hit a large pot hole. I knew someone who worked there in a different department who found out if i could claim. I think they told me the damage to the road must have either been reported 7 days before a claim OR it must be obvious that the road has been damaged for some time. Id sent the bill with the above pictures to the roads department they should pay no problem, if they dont and you can be bothered and the claim is £199 or less the small claims court should do the trick.

It's doing my head in, what does 'i touch goats' mean

Thats a great price! Don't like to ask but how old are you, do you have any penalty points. Mine was £760.00 10 years no claims, on convictions, standard WRX 07 wagon, i'm 36, car owned by Ltd company.

Sounds like a shot gun!

Well done Allan you did the right thing.

So i put 30% tint film on the front of my car, i guess that Subaru windows already tinted about 10%? (although i could swear they were clear). That means the cars illegal? I'm seriously thinking about taking them off. The last (and only) time i had 3 points my insurance went up a few hundred quid.

The car was parked in High Street Paisley. He addmited it was his car and had been driving it, they prob had it on the town CCTV anyway. He diden't know he was getting a fine and points. He bought the car with the tints on 5 years ago, I'd say rough justice after all he did remove the tint on demand not like he lied and gave excuses.

As the title says. Was in the pub last night playing poker, the cops pull up outside and start going over a players car. He goes out to see whats wrong. Front widow tints, he said they had a light meter and only 30% light was getting through. The result, told he could not drive the car, they helped him remove the front tints then handed him a £60 fine and 3 penatly points. Location was high street Paisley. I also saw 3 other cars being stopped during the day in Paisley all of them inocent looking 50-60ish year olds in run off the mill cars. Jim.

I read that the STI will be £30,000. I also think that limited numbers is a good thing, i remember when i told my mate 8 years ago that i'd bought a Subaru, he said 'whats that?'. Now there more common and not as 'exclusive'.

I get on average 230 (£47ish of V Power) to the tank on my current and last car with mixed driving.

Just past the old Jet station on Glenifer Road its been transformed in to a Shell garage with V Power. You can now fill up on your way for a spin up the braes & beyond.

TheWelsho: Get yourself a NewAge and all your motoring trouble will be gone! Sold my classic, BIG mistake, newage no handle!

Hi there hope you enjoy driving your Catalunya. If you dont mind can you tell me what condition, miles and price you paid for it as im trying to get a good idea for the value of my dads Catalunya.

Thanks for the input. It's my dads car and he wont clean it so when he goes to sell it im going to polish & clean it myself, replace the wheel nuts (might even set about the dash with a tooth brush). So it's worth over £4500, advertise at £4900 with room for movement. He wont be selling it till he has a new car, but it will get sold private.

My dads thinking about selling his P reg Catalunya No.70. The cars totally standard, less than 58K miles, 2nd owner from 19k, these a few minor dents and the car could do with a good clean, new wheel nutts and alloys could do with a shine up. I've had a good look at the body work and there's no rust whatsoever. Mot till June 08. Anyone got an idea what its worth? I can post some pics,

There was a very small mention of it in the Paisley Express today. It said 2 car crash on Caplaw Road driver taken to hospital. Looking at your car it must have been a nightmare!

Oh forgot my mother bought a 2l 4wd Waggon as well.

8 or 9 years ago i was saving up for a new Ford Cosworth but by the time i had the money they had stoped making them. My dad sold his car and asked me what car he should buy, i suggested test driving a scobby. That was it within 10 mins he said im buying this. (Cataluya No.70 which he still owns) Few weeks later dad gave me a loan of it for a day, went to my local dealer next day and bought a new 2000 AWD and i must say this was the best car i've ever driven my previous car was a mark 5 RS2000 which held the road better than the scoob but not as much power. However i think my current 07 WRX waggon will be the last scooby i'll buy (well maybe a JDM from litchfelds) as i think that Subaru are chasing the mass market in the USA rather that satifying petrol heads.
