well not for a month or two..was getting a 350Z, but the company pulled the car ownership scheme 
wife did not want me to purchase the scoob (she never liked the 300). Might get something in October. Until then i will have to attend all meets in the wifes TD5 disco...Got ACE so magic in the twisties..if it had a half decent engine with some poke, it might even keep up with a scoob ..cannot wait until rolling road day and see if it can hit three numbers on the output Cheers

TD5 = 136bhp .......
*Nothing beats a Scoob in the twisties*
350Z=Very nice!
Believe it or not I have been looking at a BMW 330d Sport ..... as I seem to be doing so many miles!

G'Day all. You may have seen me around Wycombe. I drive a dark blue mica MY02 WRX with Prodrive headlamp conversions. Bog std 17" silver alloys.
There is another guy with one excactly the same as mine...even headlamps. One day I parked in Beaconsfield new town and coming back from WHSmith thought saw someone stealing mine. My heart was going pretty quick until I realised it had different plates. phew.
I never used to wave to other Scoob drivers, but everyone seemed to and made me feel like a spoilsport, so I started waving, now I find no one waves. Oh well.
