Wave bye bye to the scoob
 

Well, all the thievin scum have finally pushed me over the edge, the scoob
is being swapped on Monday night, I am gutted.....

but....

i am swapping it for an FTO GR

Does anyone here have any views on them and what they are like for attracting the "wrong attention, etc..

The car is a 95 import and does not have a mark on it and is Balck with a green earl flick and is the 197 bhp model with HKS jap can

any ideas people

to be honest crims would target the FTO just as much as the scoob

If thats the only reason your selling your scoob then i think you should reconsider, else buy a metro or something.

A GR is 180 PS - about 177 bhp - not 197 bhp...

A GPX (Mivec) is 200 PS - about 197 bhp - though isn't a GR.... Hmmmmm.....

Generally better than the Scoob for attracting the "wrong" attention. Difficult to do a "job" in an FTO. Not enough room for the hooded mates / swag...

The GR is often as quick as the GPX, though the GPX makes a better noise (especially >5.5KRPM with an ITG filter). GR can be quite ecconomical on fuel in normal driving, GPX is little better than a standard Scoob if driven hard (though with a very light throttle can be quite good).

Check out the FTO Group on Smartgroups for more - or the FTO Owners Club. There's mucho info out there.

Enjoy

I was thinking more on the lines that FTO's are not in the top 10 stolen cars in the country though

Yeah but how many of them are there in the country to strart with ? Not many I'ld guess

Dave,

Very true statement - the FTO is not exactly a rep-mobile!!! Still VERY noticeable alongside Focus', Mondeo's etc.

Just as liable for theft.
