Im driving a scruffy old Porsche 944 WIP trackday car. Its fully stripped out inside with only the rear seat squab laid in place to muffle the transaxle. No soundproofing, carpets, seats (apart from the drivers...), gutted doors, polycarbonate windows and a polycarbonate hatch.

Its half held together with tank tape and I think that Im starting to suffer from tinnitus.....

A Focus ST3 as I didn't want the new Impreza and couldn't justify the expense of an Evo.

More rumours of a new Supra next year, so that should be good ...

L200 pickup is the one I use most. The Veyron is obviously left in my dreams.

The Astravan's the lad's use are like big go karts. I don't mind taking one of them out.

I will make her let me have another real car soon.

Cannondale Bad Boy 700, same reasons as Kieran, but they cycling is costing more than driving at the moment, I spend about 60 quid a week on cycling gear.

My old Audi is road worthy, but not half as much fun as the 1

So the 1 gets all the work

Driving Subaru Impreza 2000AWD MY98 Turbo version ATM.

That's because my Mondeo diesel turbo estate is making funny sounds ATM. It's going "cheen-cheen" on the bend, and "Khechukk..............khechukk..........." afterwards. I reckon that exhaust's gonna fall off the Mondeo So, ragging scooby for now.

Well, ok!

I was on the road to Prestatyn. I heard something strange in the back! I ignored it, thinking it was my mere imagination. But, on the way back, It happened again! I dropped the Mondeo 1.8 Turbo diesel speed from 60 to 40, and drove like a snail back home. Even Micra 1.00 Autos left me behind, can you believe that!

Hence I am back to scooby for now, anyway.



Hope this helps

For a couple of hours last week I had these on my driveway.



Now, it's just this.

Audi S3. Normally change my cars every year but can't justify it with this one, now 18 months old!! Best car I've ever had.

cough #vauxhall# cough # calibra 2.0 16v #

Reason being, found out wife pregnant then following day got told being made redundant and as the scoob was a daily driver I did the sensible thing and sold it (very cheaply) and bought something with slightly better economy

Just waiting to find out about a few jobs I have gone for then I can possibly go back to scoob ownership again

Toyota Previa 2.4i , Mitsibushi Shogun 3.0 V6 Auto and MY2000 Scooby

Is there really a problem with fuel

trying to sell the shogun, previa I use sometimes for work, but it is actually cheaper to run the scoob

Zafira VXR, because I've got twins and 5k off the list price for an ex-demo with 500 miles on the clock was far too tempting
