Default The Time Has Come

Sad day today, the wagon is up for sale

https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...l#post10041224

I'm really gutted to be selling the car. It's been a joy to own and drive over the last three years but it's time for a change.

If anyone's got any kind words to say about this lovely beast please comment on the sale thread, I know how much you guys love it too.

Feels weird, I'm off to drown my sorrows now, but on another note, doesn't it look damn shiny!!

Cheeky git Jon!

As per ad, never written off (in case anyone else is reading the thread, all the MSOC know how much I love this thing).

Thanks for the comments Budgie, I really am absolutely gutted to be selling it but needs must. Getting something else for every day and will hopefully be back in a Scoob as second car within a year, plans are in place! I'll still be at the meets, you can't get rid of me that easily

Ricky - I'll get some pics up when I collect it in a week or so. You guys won't be happy but I can promise it's not an Evo at least haha!

Gutted for you mate. With the way prices etc are going I think a few more of us will have to go the same way. Hope you are back in a scoob soon.

Lins... ... You selling up too?

Feels like social services are splitting up the triplets and sending them off to different homes.

Thanks guys, I'm really touched (nohomo).

It was such a hard decision to sell, but I've consoled myself with something else. The 12/18month plan is to finish the Mini and sell it on, then come back with something of a classic Type R/RA variety They're in my blood now.

I WILL be at the meets though and will bring sweeties in exchange for passenger rides! Can't miss out on a bit of mighty MSOC action!!

Ver6 (2000) Type RA WRC Ltd would be my choice if i were to buy another Classic, the best & last of the Classics (apart form the Type R WRC Ltd) & can be had for approx £4.5k

Lovely looking car!

There is a Piston Heads Sunday Service on here too - space for 700 odd cars so may be a potential buyer there?

Bugger, I'm in Ireland the weekend of the 18th. Glad to see everyone's ok though, I'll keep an eye out on the forum for other stuff while I've still got the wagon
