I've have my car about 3 months ....
"Im just popping to the shops" Famous last words.
My car does strange things to me, I'm off like a shot, free... Half hour later I return home.....Content..I could walk to the shop!!
Has this Phenomenon been reported before? DO I need to see somone?

I used to have a mk3 MR2, and that was the same. Trips to the shop always took in the 5 miles of winding tarmac over the moor. That car though had so little luggage space that at least 3 trips were needed.

When I had the EVO, I did not even bother with the excuse of the shops !

I'm sure the STi will be the same (5 days to go :) )

Sounds like a bad case of scoobitus I'm afraid - uncurable once contracted :D

scoobitus yes i always get a bad case when washing my car its sometimes takes an hour or two before i can go home
