I only ever had one scoob which I had for 6 years but that was sold 10 years ago.
This place was still excellent back then and I never left and as I don’t like change, I ain’t leaving till it’s dead

Edited to say Corner One for the oldies

 

I joined in 2003, then disappeared, then came back in 2006.

Had a MY98 Turbo 2000 and a 2002 Bugeye STi over about 10 years. Now moved to US, drive a 2016 Golf GTi. I'd like to get back in a scooby but the wife says that they are douche cars and that she will divorce me if I get one, lol, we'll see

 

2001 in a 1999 TypeR at age 30.
2005 Sold the TypeR to buy Bob Rawles 2003 STI Twin Scroll.
2006 I also bought a 1999 Forester STurbo for the Train Station.
2009 upgraded the Forester to a Xten 2.5.
Had a break with a few Caterfield type kit cars as track cars.
2010 built an EVO Powered AWD hatchback (current track car).
2014 bought a new Supecharged S4 as a daily AWD.
2017 The S4 is gone, bought an R26 Megane as a temporary daily and thinking of getting another classic STI.

 

Hi Henrik,

Didn't you buy my standard 2003 STI wheels when I upgraded to PFf7's.

 

It's groovy, isn't it.

 

Defo pal just the right size aswell
thinking of getting the blue flat four one he does aswell
when I can afford it that is

 

you did indeed

 

I remember you sir how are you doing?

 

Nice choice, welcome back.

 

Have to disagree with you there John cumbria scoobs is still here like LADS must be the longest running scoob owners club in the country now.I will agree with you tho that the chocolate engines didnt help as it happens now the classics are going up in price and finding a finding a good one is going to cost so something must be going right for the marquee so keep hold of the green wagon as for me i have been here for an eternity or so it feels having had a few scoobs in the past now itching to keep hold of the track road classic and buying the latest incarnation import lol

 

SIDC is still going - 20th anniversary this year.

 

Oh yes Gussy
Greenwagon is now 17 years and 6 months old and the restoration is bill has gone over 9k now but it doesn't matter

Only comes out for the shows and an occasional Sunday drive and it turns heads due to the rarety value

Although the new Subaru STi is a fine machine I'm still nervous to get another one after the WRXd rebuilt at 42k put me off subarus
But the Greenwagon is an apreciating asset and investment and I'm rather attatched to it

There is just so many performance cars out there at 30-40k that I will be adding to my fleet

 

Agree with you on that Don but in the early years the SIDC was a real click their national days for example were in the IOM etc etc and their yearly dinner was a bow tie affair at the time the SIDC was the club to be in as there were very few owners clubs about , the SIDC hasn't as far as I'm aware organised any national gathering of the marquee for years, having normal joe blogs buying their imprezas for the first time they couldn't afford the extra expense this has changed over the years as that the price has come down on them and more people can afford them this has been left to independent club organisations to try and arrange national meets like the NBO,SBO and scoobyfest.

 

and your point is.............

SIDC is still a Subaru owners club ( accepted, certainly not like it used to be) attends shows, arranges meetings etc., for its members and is 20 years old this year.

 

No point whatsoever Don, you have answered it in your last sentence

Been on here since I got my first Impreza, around 2002. On my second one now, contemplating a third - going back to a classic?
Come on here maybe once a week now as opposed to once an hour in the early days.

 

Been on here ages under leecalcars but just breaking my impreza sprint car time to move on il always pop in though to see whats happening one of the best forumns about this .

 

Now 41 been here since 2007 I think lol bought my first in 2003 and now just bought my fourth which is the wrx v-limited and this ones for keeps as there getting hard to find a good classic these days never mind a v- limited so here's to many more years of now the classic car seen , there isn't any car on the planet that sounds as good as a scooby on full chat . IMO

 

S c o o b y- could not agree more with every point made there

 

Joined in July 05 owned 4 Subaru's last one was a 05 blob sold in 2013 now on my second R35 I'm 53

 

Bought my first Subaru (Hawkeye) in 2007 from main dealers which I owned for 9 years until last year, after owning loads of other Jap & German performance cars. Purchased my FSTI while I still owned my hawk and I still have the FSTI now as my daily. Have no immediate plans to change or leave the Subaru marque.


Joined the forum in 2010 after purchasing something on eBay from TheVoices (funny chap) who urged me to join up.


I'm 41 now and all grown up with 2 kids and other projects in the garage. How times change. I'm not going anywhere, unless IB screw this place up any further.
