Getting old? possibly but i would rather drive the family in luxury rather than a noisy tin box that i am afraid to park out of my sight


One of the reasons i changed.

0-60 is enough for me, contrary to my original post I always try to stay within the speed limit.... I must get my sticking accelerator looked at, and im sure there is something wrong with my number plates . lol

True. When deciding what weekend car to buy, I considered both an RB320 and a Type25. Apart from being second hand, the main reason I never bought one was the Scooby image.

Too many being driven by tw*ts these days, that have tarnished every Scooby driver with the same brush.

When you drop the price to around £3999 let me know. I might stand a chance of affording it.

What next ??

I'd only consider it, if the Scooby Doo DVD is included.

Seriously though, how do you find the Sports Suspension Plus? When my old man ordered his, we considered this, but felt it might make the car too stiff and crashy. The standards car set-up is perfect (in my opinion) but I've never driven one with the SSP option.

Have you driven both? How did they compare?

Can't say that i've ever had a problem with tw*ts in Scooby's, but Audi drivers......so much attitude, even the company car drivers in their oil burners.

***** in every car brand. Buy the car that suits you the best and is most fun to own, not the badge on the bonnet.

best quote on this thread, don't get arsey about a scooby or audi etc, buy what makes you feel happy and not what you think people will like you for because at the end of the day its a bit of metal that gets you from a to b.

Thanks for all the kind comments on my car guys.......

On the topic of Sports Suspension Plus..... I have been used to Subaru's for 10 years now including a 22b and various cars with other suspension set ups (AST's / EXE-TC), so comfort hasnt been high up in my priority list, but having said that I think its the perfect comprimise between comfort and sporty ride. I have driven other none SS+ suspension cars, and too be honest it isnt that much firmer at all. I really would call it about perfect !!!!

As for the next car.... probably a GTR !!!!!

Cheers !

Your probably lucky it was a v8 b7 and not a b5 rs4 which has the 2.7 bi turbo, a simple £500 remap on these and you've got 420bhp, ive got the s4 avant which has the same lump which is going in for a remap soon!
