Well...... Thats a thing..... Can we burn it now?

Dat Banter! But seriously, nice car. Bet the rides nice too, almost as nice as my 2.0 hawk But with an uglier face and snobby badge. As has been mentioned sporadically across the thread, you may be able to get there faster, but any of your old Scooby's would get there every time. Unlike the AMG if it snows/wet/muddy/fieldish/anything other than the 'prime' (heh heh, F1 tyre joke) conditions. Keep trying to beat the jap crap, you never will

What sun.... *looks outside* ARRGGHH, IT BURRNNNNSSS. I am an unashamed nerd. The sun and I get on about as well as a gummy bear in a microwave. Reasons why I want the scoob's windows tinted at some point >_<

Couldn't resist

Lol. You think THATS wide? You should see how wide some of the drivers round here think their Fiesta's and Panda's are!

That was my impression from the last thread. Would a Canterbury-way location suit? I believe there were a few users around the coast, and Canters is about dead centre of 'Kent' as in the main part. Got some lovely scenery for pics too

Nice to see a classic getting some love. If I was a little bit older and/or could afford the running costs, I'd love to be able to do up one of these. Nice work on it too You'll have it looking right in no time

Were they parked or rolling Chris? That looks spectacular!

Good grief, I bought an impreza for so many reasons; 1: The Noise 2: The Engine 3: The Rally connections 4: The Banter between different owners 5: The looks of the things. 6: The age-group of owners, and their (general *cough* Chris ) maturity by comparison with other motoring groups. 7: 4WD. And the way you can drive more or less anywhere, the final trump card for any pub contest. Even my little n/a can compete! I think thats it for now. I'd hesitate to say I've made friends here, for obvious reasons, but there are those around here I think I owe a drink to already

Na, I thought it funny that in a reply to what I thought was another jokey thread you double-posted within a minute. Kind of an irony type humour.... Perhaps only I got it though I'm going to go back to my South East section now....

I've seen a couple of attempts at events in the Kent area, so its more of a feeler post. If you can register your interest, location and availability Mon-Sun below, it'd be appreciated. When I was in the VAG scene, I started one of the largest informal meets in the South East, so I do know how to organize a 'do.' Would be nice to have some real cars in attendance now though Oj 89 - Dartford - Mon, Wed, Fri-Sun Evenings

Whats a fact? That in your opinion the things Chris (I think...) has been posting is crap? In my opinion, they're funny, and I've tried to comment on them to, as was posted in a thread a while ago, get some banter going. Present your opinions as such, and you'll get a nicer response from me.

I.... Disagree Corsa. Most of the funny/interesting/general stuff I've seen on here have been from those two. Thats not to say they're necessarily posting too much (in spite of Mctwists 2 posts in a minute further up the thread ) If you don't want to see so much of 'em, why don't you start posting interesting topics up? I've tried my share, but I don't have a busting lot to talk about round here, that and I'm relatively new to the site anyway. No need to hate, just because you can't think of something to say, doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't be allowed to

Ty. I knew it was one of them. I haven't got to grips with the layout of the Boxers yet... but I suppose that makes sense anyway

Okay, polish the exhaust manifold and cover the air scoop thing, and that would look epic! your application of the vinyl is spot on too, was that a lucky first go, or have you done it before?

30FPS is the minimum to go for. TVs generally use 60Hz unless otherwise stated, just to give you an idea. 30 is the bare minimum, but if you can get 60 without breaking the bank, it'll be much smoother.

Worst moment: When I'd just bought it and realized that the two front wheels were buckled, the tracking was out, and it was doing 24mpg with me driving carefully. All but the tracking is fixed now. Best moment: Finding out what 100bhp more and 2WD more than my old car is like in snow Oh, and washing a real spoiler. lol

Is that adjustable dampening I see? Looks the nuts, but as mctwist says;

the n/a 2.0 version of the hawk. Best looking version of the n/a's and fastest too

Oooh, lkie mine... but with a bonnet scoop

Does anyone else really want their tracking done, or is that just me? I obsess slightly over tracking, and with the 4WD, I'm feeling even more suspicious.

So manlier then

Unfortunately, in a private, guarded work car park, I can't really use that excuse. Its just people not caring about theirs or anyone elses property. Annoying really, because there's no need for it.

I'm at the opposite end of the scale atm. With other commitments and interests, adn with the scoob being a commuter car of 40 miles a day, any amount of washing will only result in another 3 hours of prewashing, rinsing, washing, waxing, etc etc the very next weekend to keep it clean. Besides, I've already had people bash their doors into mine in the car park :@ wish I could find out who it was and make them pay. Car envy is a terrible thing. (Also might have something to do with the fact that, unlike the women who I tend to work with (no generalisation intended to the women on the forum), I park in the CENTRE of the parking bays, rather than off to one side, or as I had this morning, diagonal. I'm sure reverse bay parking was a pass criteria on the driving test last time I checked?
