End of an Era !!!
 

I knew the time would eventually come and it's with great sadness that my Scoob has been replaced after almost 14 years of ownership :(:(:(

Never hesitated at any MOT and not one advisory ever !!!

I decided the time had come to spend less on fuel and insurance after all these years & have opted for a turbo diesel so i bought an SRi Astra a couple of weeks ago.

It's ok as it goes and as i do regular runs to Cumbria the good news is i have managed 60+ mpg something the Scoob could only dream of but it doesn't excite in the same way at all :(

Strange to think i got the Impreza when i was 36 & i'm 50 this year :eek:

Quick shot of the Astra today

I will still look in here of course ;)

Should've got yourself a VXR8 IMO.

Bloody hell two threads with folk leaving the Impreza fold! Hope this doesn't turn in to an exodus.

Banny will be back !

Very nice indeed but i had to reduce the running costs !!!

you will be back :) i done the same [sort of] sold my scooby to get a vectra sri tdci to save some moneys was back in scooby in 2 years missed it so much :D love the look/sound/drive love em :D

anyways good luck m8y :)

I'm sure he will be John. 😊

Get a nice mint classic for the weekend. 👍

14 years is a long time... A lot of people have a hard time keeping a car 14 weeks.
Well, you always need a sensible car... But I am sure your non-sensible inner self will start to scream for some excitement soon.

It happen to all of us... a boy always need his toy. ;)

So. Question is. Is your wagon for sale?

No need ;)

No :)

I forgot to say the Scoob has only been replaced as the daily driver lol

It's still in the garage in the Astra pic :D:D:D

Good Man!!! :thumb:

Jerrick

I just couldn't part with it after all this time TBH and it's not as if it's worth a huge amount !

What did you pay new?

23k including a/c ouch !!!

I love that you still have it from new.

:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello: :luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

I was getting worried there Simon. :nono: Especially after talking at the NBO.

;)

Top man Simon. 👍😜

Good call. As you say, not like they're worth selling. I've got my UK wagon sat here sorn'd at the moment. Had a few people wanting to buy it, it's value to me far out weighs it's actual monetary value to someone else.

My thoughts exactly :thumb:

Only about £1500 a year in depreciation if you assume it's still worth about £2k.

Not too bad at all.

Do less miles? :lol1:

Omg classic windup
I think your the longest one owner on here and I'm the second with my wagon just. Afew months after you
We were both at the tts meetings when it started and you were part of us in the corner when I planned the NBO vision
My wagons worth £1600/1800 and I've allocated £3000 to spend on it over the next couple of years which is fincial madness ,but I have nothing else better to spend my cash on

The gloves are off
Who between is can keep the wagon longest
Bit worried about mine
Did 1000 miles in the last 12 months with it :D

Didn't keep my blue scooby for so long though as I like my new toy

But the Greenwagon is for ever

I'm not a real fan of red. Well I wasn't. I like that

Yes Simons superb example is a very rare colour as best selling wagon colours were the mica blue or silver with a odd mica green knocking about
Think Simons red one and my green one was the only a few in those colour at the NBO 11
Wagons weren't a strong seller compared to salloons but you could get a washing machine in the back deliver it very quickly

I suspect we will always have them Lordy ;)

Given time some will regard them as classic cars and lets face it they are less and less of them now !

From it's last day as the daily driver [13 years and 8 months from new] at my cumbrian residence :)

I thought I'd had mine a long time at over 6 years but you two trounce that by a mile :lol1:

WOW simon thought you had lost it there..................

good to see you still have it so no doubt will be seeing you for your regular servicing (can sort the dis-Astra too if needs be ;))
