After getting a negative from my wife about testing a Scooby 2 years ago I got a new Audi S3 in Sep 01, it's a lovely car and fairly quick. Then on Tuesday I test drove an 01 STI Prodrive PPP

I am collecting Saturday

 

Nice one mate.

Make sure you bring it to one of the local meets.

Cheers

I will keep an eye out for a local meeting and come along.

Cant wait until tomorrow

 

Where abouts in essex are you, by the way I have an STI also.

 

Braintree near Chelmsford

Where are you?

 

Romford area, I will keep your e-mail address and let you know when we arrange something.

Cheers

Jim

 

Thanks Jim, Romford isn't far just down the A12.

Not from Osbornes in colchester by any chance? Just I believe mine's on the forecourt there still.

 

No, the one I test drove was in Chelmsford, but the one I am buying is at a dealer in Worcester.

02 STI Prodrive

 

Never give out your address Nick1...DuSTi will come and nick your motor now!

 

Nik,
Welcome to the fold.
A local meet for you is the Flat Four meet at the Plough & Sail, Rettendon. meeting this Thursday 17th.

 

Do you mean 02 STi Prodrive PPP, ie , an STi7?

No sure they did an 01.

 

Thanks 3times, do you have any idea what time on Thursday? Not sure what time I will be finishing work, but if I get home in time I will come along.

 

Hi Stevie, sorry for the confusion, the one I test drove was a 51 plate registered DEC 01, must have been one of the very first, it was a car belonging to one of the directors at Subaru UK.

The one I collected today is an 02 plate STI7

 

Nik,
We meet from about 7.30. Most stay till closing.

Hope you can make it.

 

Nick,

I'd be interested in hearing how you find it, particually in the running cost area.

Basically I have an 02 Sti with PPP and a baby on the way in a week or so. If money got tight, one of the cars I was considering was an Audi S3.

Cheers
Gareth.

 

I would not go near an S3 at the moment. I just sold mine, great car but with the new shap A3 coming out they are a depreciation nightmare. Get a Leon Cupra R from Europe for £15k new, get it chipped to 270 bhp by MTM and you are away.
