Hi ppl
My name is Ron , from Benfleet.
I'm totally new to subaru's !
Been into fords for a very long time ! But now you could say that i have either " seen the light " or " crossed over to the dark side "
Depending on how you look at it ?
I did have a mint ford RS Turbo , restored it over 8 years , and still never finished the damn thing ! I just got fed up with working on it, and i went a bit too far with the detailing!!
Also i thought that if i'd finished the car , i would never been able to have driven it , as i would have been too paranoid with the thought or someone crashing into me and ruining 8 years of work !
So i sold it , unfinished ! And bought a scooby ! And i've not really looked back !
Advert i put up on passionford if ya interested ?

This is the scoob i brought after i sold my RS back in feb, 36k on the clock , and i like :-D
Been looking at the ESC forum for a little while now, i would like to join up , and get involed in some of the events and cruises you lot do.
Well up for the Brighton run this weekend too , so put my name down , i'm there
Previous cars that i have owned

Cheers mate , S2's are ok ! But they've got nothing on a scooby ! I've seen the light :-D
The 72 Camero was a project done by me and my dad ! Took 3 years to restore ! I drove it once and sold it ! It was just too damn big to drive around these narrow streets in the UK ! My dad never drove it either ! As he lost his licence through drink driving !
Will look out for ya at the meets :-D

Thanks for the warm welcome guys
Your not too far from me Well if you do decide to go , i could meet ya at the tesco express at tarpots 9am, and we could burn down the A13, Let me know 
As far as i'm aware it's still a standard 212bhp ! All i've done is put silicone boost pipes on it as the standard ones were crap , and new 10mm spark leads, It came with the stainless backbox on it and it still has the standard cat , apart from that it's just been a clean up of the engine bay and sprayed up a few parts.
