you will be whatever I tell you to be my little b*tch.

Torpid

You want me to be a 'big man', 'little man' and also 'your little bitch'?

You talk about child **** on people's computers and love dolls.

It doesn't take an analyst to work out what sort of stuff goes on in your mind and what sort of sick twisted individual you clearly are.

I'll see you on the 5th, assuming your car can make it that far.

The ring isn't open to the public on the 4th - think again

Simple fact:

Newage scoobies are heavy

Newage scoobies are 4wd

Newage scoobies are not the fastest thing in a straight line.

Ignoring launches and tuned scoobies, 30-100mph scoobies really suffer. They just do. Get over it.

2wd cars, be it rwd or fwd, are going to be faster once moving. Scoobies only get there quick 0-100 times and 1/4 miles by their great launch. Take a ERST that runs the quarter in 13.5 seconds at 115mph with a 0-60dash of 7seconds, compared to a 13.5 scooby time with a terminal of 105mph and 0-60 of 5 seconds. So the erst has accelarated 55mph in 6.5 seconds, where as the scooby has only accelarated 45 mph in 8.5 seconds. Its obvious which one to me is accelarating faster.

No offence to anyone on these boards but i own an 04 sti ppp, not ecutekd or anything just the bog standard 280ish bhp. I also own a 190 bhp Escort RST. And i know which one is faster in a straight line, and the escort has 'old school' lag.

So funny man. I was still pi**ing myself 20 minutes later

i often wonder if imprezas are sooooo ugly, slow,poor handing and apparently get wasted by every vehicle from a skoda vrs thru to a corsa what everybody is on here for. Most enthusiasts boards are for that reason. So people who love their pride and joy can enthuse over them and share knowledge and tips to improve their vehicle. But on here its different. There is a resentment and a refusal to accept that a well modded subaru can and will outperform more expensive exotica. I wonder how many of you support a football team and turn up on the terraces hurling abuse at their own players. Or who marry a women and go around caling her Fat and useless. Your money,your car your choice. Ran over now where is that 50bhp nova that keeps p*ssing on me

Torpid

I'll still be there on the 4th and 5th, maybe even the 6th.

.......and that BS from ninjaguppie about the Impreza 'outperforming exotica when modded' is laughable.

I may pop down to the Ring to pick up the gauntlet.

I would come up and take the other gauntlet but can't be arsed driving up there just to show someone up so go for it mate you can have this honour

Torpid

Nice pics will be fun if you can make it. You'd be suprised how quick the barge goes round it.

wrxtankie

In the right hands mate, any car is quick round there. Should be good.

About one of the only real truths we've seen on this thread.

Torpid where are you then if you are in sausageland?

Torpid

I'm not, I just have the car registered there for........certain reasons.

Ah ha cunning

Torpid

Better than paying a massive luxury tax that's for sure............

BMWhere?

Aston, make sure you close the roof vent... may just give you a vital few tenths

Then again, why bother! You'll waste him anyway

wrxtankie

Torpid, I remember seeing something about Groenigen,(what a town ) I'm only about 2 hours from there. Just off the A7 Between Hannover, Hamburg and Bremen. If the Ring becomes a no go we could sort something else out.

Luxury Tax?

what is that all about then?

wrxtankie

Dutch thing!!!

Torpid

I don't actually live Groningen, it's not just a city but one of the largest provinces of the North, I live in the sticks, real farmer country.
There's a nice track here at Assen although as I'm sure you know it's a bit narrow being more of a bike track than for cars. I try and get out there as often as I can. I imagine it would suit your car more than it does the S8.
Can't see the 'ring being impossible, hotel is booked and other than closures or a freak snow storm I can't see it not happening.

wrxtankie

Winter tyres on standby Would love to try assen one day. The other is Oschersleben.

Torpid

Think maybe they'd close it if it did snow, would be awesome to tip toe round it on M+S tyres but I fear someone would most likely kill themselves.

Never heard of Oschersleben, just googling it right now.

davyboy

Great thread, not seen a thread like this for ages.

It's like group therapy

BMWhere?

According to your Avitar, you've been here since Oct 2006! For a man with such big talk, perhaps you would be so big as to reveal your past usernames dating back to 2000 and explain exactly why you find the need to change usernames!?

Also, you keep telling us how wonderfull your S8 is and how it costs you less than an an 06STi, but that's not a fair comparison really! Sure the S8 is a great car, but you don't get much of a new 06 S8 for the the price of a new STi and don't even start on the depreciation. The truth of the matter is, your budget doesn't stretch to the price of any NEW car that can actually match a new Impreza!

As for new gen hot hatches, you'll know all about torque steer then and the complete inability to get hard on the power early in a corner. In reality you don't accellerate from 60-100 on straight roads (other than motorways where anyone can drive in a boring straight line), you accellerate out of corners, where, the Impreza will be hitting 100 before the hot hatch can get back on the throttle!

Torquemada

Nicely raised, wouldn't mind an answer to the changing names thing, just outa curiousity. Sometimes there are decent reasons, but not many

As far as I'm aware it's driver training days. As opposed to get on there with anything and nail it days. Still has more forgiving run off's on the corners. Or a decent bit of kitty litter.
