converting someone ?
 
have you ever converted someone,or maybe gave them a push to decide on a scooby?

my duty manager saw my car and loved it, told her husband whos a big fan of the bugeye..
2 months later they bought a 05 sti with PPP

The opposite.

Helped a mate choose an older M3 instead with guidance;)

lol got a mate to buy one after 2 months of him insisting his Chavalier was the dogs!
Suddenly he tells me he bought the car he had been slating for months!

Being a member here and lurking in general has helped 'convert me' enough to sell my STi.... does that count? :D

^LOL :D
I have converted people to buy scoobs without even trying. A couple I know were so inspired that they bought a scoob, even their 20-yr old son ended up buying a non-turbo. :cool: Some other aquaintences did the same, and they absolutely adore driving their scoobs. :cool:

A neighbour came to see me, thinking of buying another Volvo, just after I got my Scoob.

He's since had three! (Scoobs, not Volvos;) )

Pmsl converted a mate after driving mine he bought a classic soon after, doctor`d owned it previous, before then another member of same family, car was an absolute minter 40k miles, totally std when he bought it fssh etc had been really well looked after about 2-3month down the line engine let go (knackered maf but werent picked up-no fault code showing)month or 2 later went again (this time replaced maf aswell)luckily had subaru warranty on it so didnt cost him anything for the rebuilds.

Have a funny feeling he wont thank me for convincing him to buy one though,he sold it after the 2nd rebuild-car were arrow straight though, he were just unlucky-didnt want to risk problems once out of warranty even though he loved the car.

Now owns a mint series 1 escort RS Turbo.

Thing is, no offence meant.............

Scoobies are crap. Badly built, all plastic and rely on the turbo for fun and 4wd to make a crap driver think he/she can handle a car.

Not that quick anyway, and the Mitsi does it all better...........

Not trolling (never), but they're rubbish cars. I'd rather have my selection of classic Mercs and the Cupra for real driving. Got a proper car with RWD ( Merc) for proper driving.

I liked my old Cav. :) Still like to see a nicely-kept one, even now. :)
