Was up in Aberddeen the other week.

Blimey - I have never seen so many Subaru turbo's, and especially the new shape ones

This place must have the highest concentration of Scoobs per head of population anywhere in the UK!!!

Then there's loads of rich people living here!

Steve,

why didn't you let us know. Could have arranged a meet-up with a few of the locals for you.

I've said before that Aberdeen has a high concentration of Impreza Turbos, but no-one else seems to believe me!

Shame I was not in the Scoob myself but had flown up with business

I did speak to a chap near the seafront (it attracks quite a lot of 'performance cars')

with a silver impreza - sti2 I think on an N plate - looked nice

Just needed a few more tweaks like:

VF22 HYBRID
MOTEC
WATER INJECTION
FULL BPM DECAT

etc, etc..... but he was getting there - had an exhaust I think and some alloys!

Certainly a few years ago the Aberdeen Subaru dealer was #1 for sales in the UK.

In fact me and the old man are going to test drive the new MY01 Turbo today

Thumbs up

On an average day I probably see about 8-10 scoobs in and around Aberdeen.

Seriously thinking about starting my own "was it you - in Aberdeen" forum

8-10!

I was seeing this numbers about every 5 mins!

I must have counted about 50 on one taxi ride!

Steve,

unless it's rush out at Dyce, or the Bridge of Don, most journeys seem to take about 5 - 10 minutes.

I've got a 10 minute drive to work, and typically see 4 or 5 during this period, and sometimes as many as 10!
