Default Deposit Down On My 1st Scoob

Hey Guys,

I'm pretty new to the forum and have found some really interesting threads that has helped me decide to purchase my first scoob.

I put my deposit down yesterday and hope to collect sometime in the next two weeks once i've sorted out one or two financial matters and finisalised the transfer of my current car for part ex.

Anyway i thought i'd share a couple of pics that i took on my phone, once the car is at home i'll pop some better quality pics up.

Thankx





.................have i made a good choice, god i'm worried now.

And you've picked one with the fastest rear wing

it's great owning a scooby....but believe the warnings....you can't stop spending!

I've given up getting on the property ladder...i'm gonna mod the scooby with a bed and a cooker

Welcome to Scoobynet

Car looks mint, enjoy !!
The two week wait will seem like an eternity, but at least it gives you time to start planning your first mods

Because belive me once you start spending on it, it just never seems to stop

Nah! With a fantastically beautiful car you can sleep your way around, get fed, watered and keep a suitcase in the car

Smile Thanx for the replies

Hey guys, thanx for all the feed back and comments.

Soulgirl i think you hit the nail right on the head, that grin has not left my face yet. I just can't wait to get my hands on it. I don't think that first drive will ever leave me until i want more and i've taken the advice and the credit card has already been shredded!!!!

I currently drive an BMW E46 320i SE which don't get me wrong is a sweet motor but i now commute to work everyday and only drive at the weekend so i needed something that would excite me a little more...........wow have a found that excitement......you bet i did!

It was the colour and rear wing that initailly caught my eye, then on closer inspection i noticed the seat (i know can't see them here) but the guy who originally owned the car had the Pro-Drive spoiler fitted from factory and i thank this guy coz he put the Pro-Drive rims on and the Recaro interior.........He He He straight from the factory! Sweet.

So thanks again for the warm welcome to Scooby Land and i look forward to spending many years and pounds here!

I need to now find a club in the Kent / East Sussex (Tunbridge Wells) area and hopefully meet up with some of you guys!

Tis the best colour

Think I'm wanting a big rear wing and colour coded side skirts now

Hope you didn't pay the windscreen price for it That said the extra bits are good, Prodrive wing, PIAA driving lights (by the look of them?), interior, etc. Has it got PPP (Prodrive Performance Pack)?

Thanx guys

Graz - They didn't mention the PPP as i'm sure they would have so i reckon it just has the interior, rims and rear wing but i'm not gonna complain. And i did pay a little under the window price but i thought it was worth it, i love the car and it does stand out i reckon plus its from a Subaru dealer so i get 12months warranty which is a little piece of mind i guess, but this is the second hand car market so fingers crossed.

Notorious - i reckon you should pop a pic your your car up, i'd like to see that in the blue. The dealer had the Mica Red and the Mica Blue and to be perfectly honest i was looking for the blue orginally, however it was the red one that caught my eye and i didn't even notice the blue car until the dealer had pointed it out to me (comment not to put a downer on the colour, just the rear wing got my attention on the red one)

scoobimax and SiDHEaD - i've had a look through the gallery for NelsonUK's car and i believe i found it but unfortunatley it's not the same, his was on a V plate i think and mine (soon to be) is on an X plate.

Default ooohhh nice

Ooohhh very nice, i like the angel of the pic. I'm hoping to get to see the car again on Monday so i'm taking my regular camera to get some better shots.

I love the colour as-well, looks like a very clean well looked after motor.

Cheers.

It's a crap camera but I wanted to see what it looked like from another drivers point of view (until I put my foot down, obviously )

My WRS has gone to its new owner in Northampton - The Mica Red is a gorgeous colour - stunning to say the least

and Daz - they weren't dodgy seats at all - just a bit different and I was never gonna complain when sitting my **** on Prodrive Electric Recaros
