My mate who has a Scoob now had a Probe some years back, it spent most of its time in the garage trying to fix all of its faults.

What? It actually looks BETTER than an R8.

I saw my first one in the flesh about 6 weeks ago and was distinctly UNDERwhelmed.

Why do most Audis look like 60's dodgem cars?

That suprises me, both my mum and dad have owned different V6 Probes at some point in the not too distant past and I found them to be very reliable cars, never broke down, and both had over 100k on the clock

Correct, I used to own both and surprisingly the Cougar was far worse! The dash is instantly recognisable as a Cougar

owned a v6 probe , yes , found it quite a good car actually , just that name . wonder how much money the a***hole was on who decided on it


still can't understand anyone wanting to £25k on a kit to make them look like an R8
by this time next year you'll be able to buy a real one for a little bit more than £25k
