Nice looking blob you got there

Yep they guy's at Cumbernauld are topnotch

Aye gie me your list and i'll do it up for you but i'll be adding it on to your final bill lol,

BLACK What about when you up the power ie 400s

It's a no brainer the spec c wins it every time, you buy the hatch your hand will alway's be in your pocket trying to achieve what the spec c already is
-
Get the blob finished & stop fannying around, i'll let you have the RA as a base car for your classic project sometime in the future, I won't be keeping it forever lol & roll on the barbie

The RA is an original with no mods, if you go back 17 years in it's day it must have been mental compared to other cars, still a great car that always brings a smile every time you drive it, just ask Tommo9375 or some of the other RA owners, my wife steals it every chance she gets, by today's standards the RA stumbles a bit as the gearing was designed for acceleration but doesn't really like the motorways, in my experience Kames is the ideal track for the old girl. The RS is the latest ford WRC techno stuff flung into a road car, Graeme over at Whiteline in Dumfermline are running an RS & played around with the suspension but with minimal changes they reckoned it was a better all round car, In my opinion my GB was awesome with the mods that I carried out & everyone thats had a wee test drive of both think £ for £ the RS is a better value for money car. However I think there will always be a subaru of some form hiding in the garage

I'm still a true subaru fan at heart but my RS gives me the subaru grin every time I jump into it, You don't have to shell out £35,000 either, just buy a standard RS & for £2,000 you can have exactly the same ford warranty approved power upgrade fitted, so £25,500 will get you the same as an RS 500

nice one -
Hi Gregor I'm fine mate the GB's running costs were just getting silly for a car that was only used 5,000 mls a year & I actually enjoy driving the RA more, it's a buyers market just now keep your eye out on the site I think the recession is starting to bite & there's been some really nice cars going for not a lot of money. The RS is different ford have upped their game & a lot of thought has gone into the design & development of this car, not to everyones taste but once you've driven it you get that constant subaru grin on your chops

Thats some memory you have Del! ??? Remind me again lol I could do better as i have it recorded on my phone lol He's stalking you again Cathy -
Looks clean Gregor hope someone can give you some more info on it

Nope the RA is staying in Bobby's stable, when I do decide to sell it Dave you'll get first shout, tkink I might have to get some paintwork done again this year starting to get a wee bit rust coming through in the usual places, but hey it is 17 years young
-
Well now the RS is finished started on the RA today, four new wellie boots fitted might stop me sliding around, new STI centre caps as the salt tarnished them, service & MOT booked & some Whiteline poly bushes etc for the undercarraige, started to get some of the salt & tar removed today as well so it's starting to look the part again. Must say after 16 years of subaru ownership I finally took the RS out to play on some of the back roads since it was a nice dry day & the handling is superb, after spending £0000's modding the scoobs brakes & suspension the standard stuff on the RS beats my scoobs hands down

very very sad news our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.

Oh well looks like ole Hawaii five O's taking us on a one way trip to leave us stranded in Thurso wi nae go faster juice at the OK coral i'll just need to stock up on some diet coke and subaru viagra to get back doon the road Or just had a thought I could always take the FORD it doesn't rattle your fillings out, it's more economical than the scoob, runs on anything and just as fast MMmmmmmm just a thought -
About time ya cheapskate you can afford it wi all the overtime you've been crammin in at G4 & get that car back on the road this year too
-
Get it fixed up Norry, for the sake of a few hundred quid, 103,000 mls is nothing you know the history of the car having owned it for 7 yrs & it probabaly still drives as good as the day it rolled out of the garage, I bought a 98 turbo 2000 new many moons ago & still maintain it was the best scoob i've ever driven. It won't depreciate any more & if you keep it you will still have it to break if you change you mind in a couple of years. And white is the in colour bobby

Welcome miss newby do u have a subaru

Kenny I was with A Plan with all mod's declared for the GB last year, they put it up from £500 > £600 this year which wasn't too bad considering the policy would replace like for like on the mod's front in the event of an accident, Admiral quoted me £450 with all mod's declared but the catch is Admiral will not replace mod's like for like they will return the car to standard when repairing, it's worth while reading the small print & asking the questions saving £150 might cost you thousand's in the long run. Doesn't matter any more as the GB is gone Admiral took £223 for the RS & £260 for the RA on a multicar Result!!!!! & cheap road tax
