My new 04 Sti UK on the A701 Moffat to Edinburgh road. Note to myself - come back to this road as soon as car has 1000 mile service........

lol the background looks like one of them painted boards they used in old films

 

You can laugh - see the little white dots - they are real sheep! Buggers to catch though!

 

show a pic of the sheep to prove it

 

Nice piccy!! looks like you actually have roads you can drive on rather than semi-mobile car parks!

 

Nice to see a colour that isnt blue!!! imo

 

Recommend that road for a bit of fun - fast, flowing a bit bumpy in places but built for scoobs. Downside is that Johnny Lawman knows it and sometimes sits up farm tracks with a stopwatch counting you from white dot to white dot. I know coz I got an SP 30 a few years back when I had an Alfa 155 Tspark. Got bollocked for taking him 10 minutes to catch me - if only he'd known I was only sight seeing that day.....

 

Very nice indeed, I love the black.
The first 1000miles was painfull.

Dipster

 

I thought that too!

 

Love the black STi!!

My dad used to take me up that road when I was younger, that drop used to scare the bejesus out of me!! Never been on it since!! lol

 

saviour the running in period because as soon as it stops the fuel consumption goes to SH*T

like the car mate, now they don't do the DBM I would go for the black

 

Me too

 

Damn fine roads in Scotland matey, nearly as good as the A68 road. Although how is this for alarming:

Got off the A1 at Piercebridge and travelled up the A68 all the way.
Piercebridge to scottish border = 0 speed cameras = stunning scooby driving.
scottish border to dalkeith = 12 wtf?

Something wrong with our Scottish roadways pal

wheelie_sti

 

Beautiful countryside and a fine looking Scooby mate!

Sadly, while I have all the scenery I could want around Seattle, the roads are somewhat lacking - it's either multi-lane freeway (motorway) or wide country road with no real corners, over-cautious speed limits and over-zealous cops. *sigh*

And even when I come home to England to visit, I'll be in a poxy rental car not my WRX... Although there's always that rally school I was lookin' at.

Bonkers.

 

nice to see no blue for a change black looks mint when polished to the max did you take that photo in wales by any chance

 

No its in South Scotland - we got sheep there too!!!!

 

Black is the best colour IMHO

Not that I'm biased

 

nice looking motor

 

Black is best mate

(Like Nathan... I'm not biased!!)

Watch out for those stone chips, and I've invested in Black all round Scott Lowe flaps. Protect the car and look the dogs!

Happy motoring

 

Nice car that..I went for silver in the end...running in is a b***h!...but then.....

 

Well shes just had her 1000 service this morning (a 62 quid oil change!) and I've taken her above 4000 rpm for the first time. Wow! !
