well i can reveal that happily number 555 is staying in scotland,just found out that my mate is the winning bidder! and i can confirm it wont be getting sold on,he's the guy who got me into scoobs when he had one of the first uk turbos back in 94 and he did the whole run in his rather immaculate type r- all in all a total impreza addict and huge mcrae fan,but doesnt post on here often.
cant wait to get a squint at it myself!
is he the same guy that has a story on the web about his first scooby and explains how it felt to be one of the first to own one and roughly in his late 40s early 50s

Like any car, it depends how you drive it. I was lucky in that I learned to drive in rural Aberdeenshire back when we had REAL winters. That gives you confidence. Happily driven up the outside lane of the M9 in the Scoob when it's had several inches of snow and everybody else is stacked up in the inside lane and she's never even twitched. Also driven back roads to my folks in snow and ice without any problems. I only ever use Goodyear Eagles all year round and never had a problem so don't believe it's solely down to tyres, but is more about adapting your driving style to the conditions. Unfortunately because winters have got milder newer drivers don't get the chance to hone their skills in driving in snow and ice.
i can drive it without any fun and confidently like you on the m9 (just have) but im asking as just a wee touch of power and shes wild i can accept that its really the breaks that concern me as they dont seem to respond how id like or expect

hi folks just wondering what folks think of their scoobies handling in the snow/ice
as i personaly think it utter 5h*t considering its 4x4. my breaks r useless abs kicks in and does nowt and wants to go sideways all the time very easily. although i enjoy the challenge its not pratical when roads are busy i honestly think my mk1 rs2000 handles better and its 30 yrs old with cossie upgrade on the breaks
