After a brief period of not really liking the car much due to continuous problems, engine etc etc, I'm starting to trust it again now, and enjoying driving it.

The modding bug has returned and have a few ideas coming together on where I'm going with the car this year.

And to top it all off It's being detailed tomorrow

Do you fall in and out of love with your scoob?

I have a feeling you are not alone in that !

I think when you go beyond the 'exhaust, panel filter,dump valve mod. you can kiss your 'ive got better things to spend my money on' goodbye.

And start to half the price of things when the wife asks..

iTrader: (41)

Indeed, it goes silent in my house when the wife asks "where are we going on holiday this year"...can't afford it...."when are we getting the kitchen done".....next year...."I'd like a new bathroom"....mmmm would be good...anyway spoke to Zak about front mounts today

Have to admit for all its annoying age related flaws I am loving the scoob atm. Only a few hundred quid away from where I want to get it

The specD however

simon57

iTrader: (2)

ummmm. tough call matie.

its alot of dosh sitting on the drive. when it could be a bmw or ford or audi vw with less worry about not being used as much..

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

I see your at that place I was at a few months ago.

yellowvanman

Stu, the answers simple, sell the spec D (your barely using it and having more fun with the wagon) than book the holiday and then see if there is anyone on here that can sort you a kitchen and bathroom

yellowvanman

Simon, i'm impressed if you still declare 1/2 the costs

I'm sure there are some, that only declare the costs of things that can be seen, and the rest maybe at 1/2, poss less!

Tiny

Most deff , I Just tell Mrs ESC Everythings a tenner !!

The car has taken a back seat this year , YVM Done the bathroom And we got the garden sorted

Everyones a winner

And after a while not really enjoying the car , Im also starting to get tingle back when i drive it

bibo_boy

I know what you mean....

Germany made me fall in love with the RA

Then I had a fuel pipe bust nearly resulting in total nightmare spraying fuel everywhere over a hot engine...

Then I got the exhaust fully decatt'd and

But then now the Power Steering pump is letting go after spending over £300 on the rack a few months ago.

WRX_Dazza

my cheapest mod was to cut the front bumper so you could see the new £10 "radiator"

lol

frayz

iTrader: (7)

She knows how much all of my parts cost... Dad on the other hand, i dont tell him. He'd go mental.

As for loving the car. I fall in and out of love with it all the time. But i know my efforts will be worth it when im done

53

iTrader: (41)

Mate you are first on my list when that happens although I do live on a slope

yellowvanman

It's OK now, i've worked out what the funny handle between the seats is for! (Aways thought it was there to help change direction )

Cornelius

I'm always thinking about selling the scoob, it rarely comes out of the garage now, and the itch to get something different is always there.

The novelty of the bike has worn off, and the statistics of 5% of the road users are bikes, and 20% of accidents are bike related, so the FZR will get a respray and put up for sale soon.

The nearly completed detailing is looking stunning.
