Just had my first spin in an STI tonight. One question when does the smile end?? Sat here drinking red wine with cheshire cat grin.. I'm 31 feel like 17 again when I had my sri 130!!!!!!

When you have to fill it up with petrol

 

mine fades every time i close the garage door, but it comes straight back when i open it

 

The smile will never go........just gets bigger the more you mod it!

Proby

 

When the bill's come in,but then again im 31 aswell,but still adore my car

 

when you get demolished by a new m5

was holding my own till about 60mph then it all went wrong

still, to be expected from a 400-500bhp car i guess

 

ive had two subarus over about 4 years and i still cant wait to get into every morning. its the only reason i bother to go to work.

 

no m8 giv it the supers and you feel like your a fookin marine!!!!!

 

You buy it - you smile.
Smile fades - you mod it. Smile returns.
Smile fades again. You mod it further. Smile returns.
Smile fades again...

It's like heroin on wheels.

 

Well I've had my STi since last July (having wanted a Scooby for longer than I care to remember), and my smile hasn't faded at all!

The only thing that makes me smile more - seeing my hubby washing & polishing her in the hope I will let him drive....... (some hope...)

 

never fades

just when your feeling down

You get a wave...........
You get a wave from a traffic cop (some are human )
Kids shout 'nice car mate'
Kids take photos with there phone as you pass
Everyone on the village high street looks round when when you blip the throttle (aftermarket BB)
you go through a tunnel

and the driving oooooooooooh

enjoy

 

Well I sold my Shogun guy coming tomorrow to collect so cash in da pocket ready to burn hah

 

31 as well. Petrol costs, that's it. Maintenance is higher than a shopping hatch as you'd expect but no worse than other sports cars.

Had mine almost four years now and can't complain about anything, it has never let me down ever!

 

Well I've had mine nearley 2 years and I'm bored already

 

The smile droops abit when you hear the death rattle of the big ends......for the second time

But thats the wifes car, so I just shrug and get in mine

 

Mine makes me smile every time I drive it, even after 2 plus years of ownership and 10k spent on upkeep, modding & running costs.

 

Had my 06 Hawkeye STI for three weeks now.........
Still smilin like the joker.....
Even the fuel doesn't bother me....what a drive, what a buzz.......
And no matter what people say, they love em.....always turns a head. Go for it mate, don't be put off by non-scooby owners horror stories...They r only jealous...fact!
Oh to be drivin an average hot hatch...yawn..lol

 

i grin from ear to ear every time i get in mine.. just the sound of the burble makes me smile then the way it handle round the bend.. its just lush!! Why worry about fuel.. you dont buy one for econmy.. my mpg is stupid!! but thats all the fun

 

Still smiling 1997 - 2009 !

dunx

 

Had my WRX for 9 years, driven 150,000+ miles and still when I get in it!
