Default Goodbye

Well it's goodbye finally to the RA

I actually loved the car and was only just starting to appreciate how good it really was!!!!!!

At the same time it's goodbye to Subaru ownership for me, but never say never!!!!! I've had an Impreza for over 2 years now and I have to admit, I've loved all of them. But now it's time to tighten the purse strings and direct some funds into savings etc..... (boring I know!)

I've lived the dream for a while, but with the kids getting older so quick and with Uni etc. looming in a few years I really need to save as much as I can and the Scoobys was one hell of a toy

One thing won't change.... It really is the people that make this club, not the cars... So the Bibo's won't be saying goodbye

Anyway, see you soon!

Bibo

cool. did you try and fit them? i've taken my carbon ones off my ra to sell and can't find the bolts to fit the standard ones lol.

Mr ABW - have you got an indicator stalk for an early import? only thing is i don't have rww so not sure if a normal one would work? I also need the clips that hold the sun visors up if you have them?

need to sell my ra so need the above to finish it off. got it up for just over £2k now including the 330mm comp brake mahoosive 4 pots!

sad news when a scoob has to go in these circumstances, but your needs and all that must come first.
