Default Back In A Scoob (and could it have been timed any better?)

Didn't arrive home last night until 01:30 after leaving the house at 05:00 to catch a flight down south. 560 miles later through sheet rain, hail, sleet and snow here it is... my V4 STi RA.











Usual scabby STi manifold (not for long!).



The fun wheel.



Two pot rears.



Hedgehogs view.

Looking good.

White is easily the best colour for a scoob

It's almost scary how similar it looks to my first one. Here's a pic when i bought it in 2002...



Chuffed in a way though as it keeps the theme. The Fridge V2!

Got a problem with my choice of handbag Grant?

Haha, no no... But I would have played safe with a simple black number in case the brown clashed with the black door handles!!

"The Fridge V2" is a great name for it.


Cheers,

Ian, definitely. It took a bit of self-persuasion as i'll admit i fancied a change in appearance as well but the RA is just so much fun.

Grant, i pre-empted you - see SIDC.

Very good Carl, I'm glad I have enlightened you...

What have you got planned for the new arrival anyway?? I'm not going to lie to you, it isnt going to be a big job to get 300bhp in this one...


Cheers,
Grant

Aberdeen meets are a nightmare for me right now since i moved platforms Mark. I think my rota allows me to start attending again towards the end of the year (offshore tomorrow).

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve for it but no major power projects until i get used to the handling. I've got something in mind to occupy me until then. I also have a few bits left over from my old car to go on as well as a couple of bits i've bought in between. A lot less (probably nothing bar wheels) on the body mods this time as well.

Lol Simon. The snow can bugger off now if it likes, i have to drive through it (in the Cavalier) to catch my helicopter tomorrow morning.

Not hiding anything, just didn't take very many of the rear and the few i did take weren't up to much. There's one in the diary entry on my website.

Yeah got offshore ok Ciaran although around 8 hours late due to yesterdays backlog.

Haven't forgotten about the PFC Grant, will possibly be in touch. That was me in the black Cav Turbo the other night by the way. The old girl just couldn't keep up with the Type R.
