Thumbs up Back Into The Fold...

I'm thinking of getting rid of the Landrover, and getting another scoob as my daily runner.

Looking for something differant, I fancy a 1994 WRX RA or something along those lines.

So if you know of anything like that for sale gimme a shout

Cheers

Recipe book for Ginge

- take 1 x RA with a blown engine/gearbox (cheap)
- add 1 x 2.5litre bottom end with sti5 heads (cheaper than you think!!)
- mix with 1 x 6-speed gearbox with DCCD, 20G turbo, FMIC and Andy Forrests remap
- boil for 45mins stiring consistantly
- once cool, leave over night in the fridge

et voila

a 400bhp rally car that can accelerate faster than a GT3 RS and take on the mighty Spec C

..........go on, you know it makes sence

I've been offered a DB7 at a very tidy price. I'm a DB9 man myself, but would make a good daily runner.

Still so tempted my another scoob though.

WIll have to see what the DB7 drives like

DB7's hardly a daily runner;

but hey i can at least see the similarities between a prestiege, high performance, hand built 2 door coupe and that of a cheap 4 door, quicker than the average 4WD family saloon.



what are you like

DB7 is a daily runner when you can get one as cheap as I've been offered But I'm not overly keen on the styling, they arn't exactly fast, and they are heavy.

Got my heart set on a scoob really, I miss the burble from the exhaust.

Only reason I brought the DB7 into the equastion is because it's from a mate and silly cheap.

But if that doesnt work out will definatly be a scooby doo a type R sounds good
