Cool Newbie from Telford!

Hi All, Joined the site last night but have been plowing through all the information for months!
Anyway I've finally taken the plunge and purchasd myself a Scooby Impreza WRX 52 plate with 55k on the clock. Genuine car in outstanding condition! All original apart from some OZ gold alloys (Which on not 100% on yet) and an STI back box, nice burrrrble!
Wanted to see if there are any other members from telford?
Well anyway, nice to meet everyone.
Martin

Welcome Martin,

The only looking back you'll do is when you leave the boy races behind at the lights.

all the best,

Mark

not on faceache mate, yep, a meet up is good. the scoob meets with these fine peeps are great, family days out, BBQs and all the rest. Just make sure you got enough money for the petrol and a couple of quid to put to the club charities.

My hatch is in scoobyclinic at the moment, getting some upgrades but im happy to pop around in the borrowed bucket they gave me and check out your motor.

You should get some pics up of your car, everyone loves a good nosing and you'll get loads of tips on performance upgrades, to problems to where to go to get your bits (WMI now supply quite a lot of parts too! Just contact H, the chairman)
