after much debate (in my own head) and against everything I have said before.... I will be picking up 55 plate Impreza WRX silver with full scooby body kit 17in wheels, up rated brembos with 6 pot calipers and a decent exhust....

boy oh boy it's bloody quick...........:D

should get it in a couple of weeks, all depends on the DVLA

WR1 was the limited edition release for Petta Solberg winning the WRC a few years ago.
Approx 340 BHP :eek:

not going for the ppp kit (yet) one is for insurance and two it is fast enough without it, 0-60 5.5 seconds, 0-100 14 seconds, how much performace do you need on an open road, would be fair to say i will have enough:D

but i am sure after a year i will want an up-grade of some form;)

[Gismo]

Can you ever have enough BHP, especially standing in the pub talking about it :rolleyes:

[s12cot]

hmmmmm can see your point...

but it's not how much you have got, it's what you can do with it..

[The Dogfather]

I hope your not paying £15k for it, you can get a brand new unregistered one from motorpoint for £14.5.

In fact they have the new WRX hatch for £16k but who'd buy one of those.....

sorry but its actually 320 PS (Pferdestárke = horse strenth) (PPP standard car 305 PS) (note not BHP):D :D

[zimbo]

I miss my scooby :( sorry to dissapoint a lot of you guys on here but my scooby was and is the best car I have ever owned!! Just such a shame that they drink SO SO MUCH or I would still have him...

one day I hope to have another or may even try an EVO of some sort.:p

cheers for this, no, i did not pay anything like the £15k, before i went to see them it was reduced to 14.5, then they offered me 9k for the S - 02 plate with 56.5k miles on the clock. Best offer i had appart from that was £8k from honda and the scooby garage in perth was being cheeky by only offering £7k...

so taking the above into account and the fact that a private sale would only get £8kish for the S, the deal works out at approx £13.5k for the scooby

sorry ment to say the trade for the S would be crap for these, so the price would be more.....

[The Dogfather]

Sounds like you got a reasonable deal. I got good trade in values on both my Brabus and the A2 TDI from Motorpoint both were £500 over book value.

[s12cot]

TBH i had not heard of this bunch until now.... looks like a good crowd..

[The Bull]

Nice one Scott, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. :)

[s12cot]

It's best you look out for me as I always miss you!!

[illegalhunter]

now thats a seriously fast car , great choice

[s12cot]

Cheers, can't wait.... not looking forward to the fuel bill..... only do 125 miles a week to and from work, anything over and i get paid millage
