Cool Looking to enter Scooby World...

Hi all

I'm contemplating replacing my current daily runabout with a classic Scooby.. and being in Essex I thought this would be a good place to make a post

I'm looking at spending up to about £3k on a wrx, or perhaps sti? I'm a bit of a tinkerer, including engine building, turbo conversions, remapping, electronics etc., so i'd preferably like to choose something that I can hack about somewhat, but I'll most likely be limiting changes to some subtle chassis improvements and recalibration the car to get the most out of the standard package.

Any recommendations or pointers? I've yet to actually drive one which I really need to do before purchasing (and see if I fit in one, i'm a big lad ).. i'm in the Chelmsford area if anyone wants to help out with that


Cheers

Yeah that'd be great. I've been out in them, just need to check out the driving position really.

A few can be seen quite often at Mr Clutch on Saturdays.

Main meets are the 1st sat of the month near Basildon, and the 2 pub meets at the halfway house and the lodge.
