Cool

So who here thinks there scoob is a wreck. I do...
Can anyone else match the following cosmetic faults.

Dented front wing - Cause: kitchen door leant against shed falling during storm
Crease in drivers door - Cause: Opened against pillar in underground car park at work - Doh!
o/s/r pillar dent - Cause: Alarm installer leaning on side pillar - To55er.
Bootlid dents - Cause: Bike rack, 2 mountain bikes, bumpy B road + enthusiastic driving moment
Rear wing scratches - Sunday afternoon cleaning with grit in sponge
Stone chips on front - Cause: Trackday at Bentwaters following Caterhams
Scratches on rear bumper and boot - Cause: Track day at Oakington with spin and reverse through gate and stopping inches from trees.
Blemish on roof - Cause: stone chip or leaking fluids whilst on route from Japan.
Dents on all remaining panels - Cause:Shopping trolley and MPV owners
...the list goes on.

Mechanically the car is spot on, goes great and I love it to bits, its just the bodywork has been unlucky and I'm past worrying about it. After the impending house purchase and maybe a few little other things a respray will be on the cards.

Anyone want a used v4 STi - One carefull owner...

Do you mean the storage area towards the rear of the vehicle or something your big smelly feet goes in?

My feet are neither big or smelly - that's Charles's.
