Thumbs up Thought I'd make here my first post

Hey, just bought my first Scooby. Been wanting one for a while and after persuading the missus to come along for the test ride I was on a winner.

So I bought myself an 03 STI with the Pro Drive pack.

I can see why these cars have such a devoted following. The engine is so strong, suspension amazing and the car looks fantastic.

Bit surprised by the brakes though, not quite the bite I expected.

Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with a few of you in and around Essex where you can tell me all about the car i've bought and save me looking for old threads

Chrs, Malc
