Default would there be any serious interest....

if i were to sell my scoob??

at the mo i am in talks with someone, but if this dosent come through is there anyone on here that would be seriously interested???

i would rather the car go to another scoob lover than part ex it at a garage. Car is going to get sold, as to who at the mo am not sure. If anyone is interested either post on here or pm me.

Car is:

53 WRX
31,000miles
STI interior
wrc full wide arch body kit
18inch alloy wheels - wheels do need refurbing.
just had 30000 mile service.
Mot is being done this week
taxed until mar09.

I have a price in mind but this will be open to discussion to any seriously interested parties.

for pics see view my scoob.

cheers

car size is perfect, but to be honest want to take away the temptation to put my foot down with Bobby in the car.

Uses Ross's extra thick mat so you only get 20% throttle

that could be an idea, although another reason for selling is i can only get sarah insured on it for stupid ££££'s.

dont worry if the car does go, i will still be haunting the ESC....will still have the ESC number plate!!! lol

spally, sarah's car is perfect for the family. my fiesta does everything i need it to. it's not fast on acceleration but will comfortably sit at motorway speeds. the boot is big enough for the buggy and all samuel's stuff. it's economical. i regularly get 30 - 35 mpg around town, on a motorway run it'll see over 40mpg. i enjoy driving it so much i don't even miss driving the scoob. it's like a little fwd go kart when you want it to be and a very sensible car the rest of the time.

basically all i'm saying is keep the scoob.

far easier than a 4 door. my astra coupe was so much easier to get samuel in and out of than the scoob. my sisters fiesta is a 2 door and that's easier than my 4 door fiesta. seems stupid i know but just find a 2 door so much easier. mainly because there's much more space behind the front seats and the opening to get the carry seat in and out of if much bigger.

plus as soon as baby goes into a forward facing seat (in about 9 months time) they don't stay asleep when you get them out of the car once they've fallen asleep and they get out on their own.

cheers for that matt.

We are going to change Sarah's fiesta as well, she is finding it almost impossible to get the baby seat in and out when she is on her own, so logical thinking was 4 doors would be easier.

But saying that, after reading your thread maybe not!! lol Suspension is being put back to standard on the scoob, so will be able to take Bobby out in that before i sell it, we can then see if Sarah finds 4 doors any easier.

cheers

can he not go in the front in sarah's car? can't remember if she has a passenger airbag? can always get it turned off though. i always used to put samuel in the front when i had him in the car on my own. well even when carly was with me she used to get kicked to the back seat some times

could do matt, if we got the airbag turned off.

But to be honest there is a whole lot of reasons as to why both cars have to be changed.
