have you noticed how people like to challenge you to the traffic light grand prix when you are in a scoob? i like to rev and watch to other guy shoot off at breakneck speed whilst i trundle along on my own merry way
enjoy the car mate and a few more pics wouldn't go amiss! afterall there's only 300 of us!

its a wrx. with ppp standard (265bhp). Has swrt fog covers and seats and gold wheels. its just a rarer example. also when insuring it you are insuring it as a standard car where as a wrxPPP would have to be insured as a modified wrx as ppp isn't standard.

wrx 300
HI there,
I am a new here, but last week ordered a new WRX 300. I went for a test drive in a WRX with a PPP, the guys who took me on the first part of the teat drive scared the hell out of me...I knew they were quick but but to see it happen it a different ball game. Totally awesome. I ordered one soon after, in fact 24 hours after.
I am also think about getting the STi spolier at £400 for the chaps on ebay.
I have always liked the look of Subaru's but really did not know how they handle. Ohh my I know I will have a lot of fun.
I have been told that they can bite you hard so will take lessons in the future with a pro.
Later dudes

Can't wait.
Just my old car to get rid of too.
The photos looks great!

I Like the STi Spoiler
This is an E Bay Spoiler £400 fitted
I just think it sets the car off and enforces what they are all about, although like you say it is nice to be just cool, only just got this after a four year void and already p-off with the amount of saxo's & clio's with dustbins as exaust pipes trying to wind me up, it is fun though at the traffic lights, they given it all "plenty a smoke and noise" then you just cruise off laughin all the way, children they will never learn
