My Scoob ownership starts tomorrow morning at Quenby's.

How will I ever sleep tonight?!

 

I have my 03 number plate sitting on my desk, just no car yet :-(. Doesnt quite cut it does it !!.

Get my STi tomorrow, minus PPP for a while, unfortunately.
I went to see it today, sitting out in the rain at the dealership.
It was all I could do to restrain myself from lying on the roof in an attempt to stop it getting wet. I think it will get a large proportion of its 1000 mile run in done tomorrow. Anyone taking theirs out for an extended pootle tomorrow ?

 

Aye Im getting my WRX at 8.30am (earliest I could get the dealer to come in ) and should be driving it most of the day with a bit of luck. Gotta get that first 1000 miles outta the way quick so the real driving can start

 

Does the car need to go back to the dealer after the 1st 1000?

Hoping to get mine done as 'fast' as possible (if you pardon the pun)

BTW, what is a recommended/sensible 'restraint' policy for the 1st 1000 miles?

 

Well, why don't you people organise a running-in day????
You will draw the crownds for sure!

 

Volemangler - you've planted the seed...I'm off to Baldock later this afternoon to see if I can spot my baby!

Sad I know.

 

Silverback, I just posted a thread about running in. I suspect there's a lot of experience to be tapped on this board about such things.

 

Picking my sti up from Quenby's tomorrow at 9am

Its going to be a long, long night.

XT, in retrospect a "Running in Day" would have been a bonzer idea......perhaps a little late to organise it for tomorrow now. However, it will (probably) take more than one day to rack up that grand.....

 

of course you can't do 1000miles in one day, i just thought that if you people did it like a meeting, it would be a much more pleasant procedure for most of the running-in mileage. What about a running-in week?

 

I am in talks with Stan Palmers about my STI 8 For Mid March.......
I couldn't sleep last night with the excitment of just the telephone call to order it so what is going to happening the night b4 the car is going to be delivered.

Might visit the Doc for some sleeping pills

 

Me too!

Picking up a new WRX tomorrow morning.

Salesman reckons he'll be in at 8 - I'll probably be on his doorstep when he arrives lol!

 

Me, I`m picking up my STI8 un-PPP`d. I`ll probably keep it like this! Going at 10.30 `cause the wife is having her hair done first thing.

 

XT, in saying it couldn't be done in a day, ie the first day, I meant there is a chance for doing part of the mileage at a later date. I think your idea is a good one, sorry if you got the wrong end of the stick.

 

I want the right end!!
BTW, i hope you really enjoy your new cars people!!!

 

Picking up my STi and other half is getting her WRX (Colour coded and STi Spoiler) tomorrow

 

That's some serious machinery on your driveway Boyakasha. Have got machine-gun nests and a moat ???

 

lol, we are very lucky where we live as it is very quiet and the cars are always garaged. But machine gun nest could be positioned to take out any unwanted theives

 

Good luck with the new ones. Just take it easy the first miles and make sure you have something to wipe the dribble off with.

Mark will these new cars be at the Old Mill Inn on tues night

I've now been told "sometime in March" for my PPP. I'm actually not too bothered because it gives me a chance to run the thing in at 261bhp and get used to it for a while so that I can more fully appreciate the effect of the PPP's 300bhp.

So I'm not jealous philgr, honest................ You lucky git.

 

Getting my Sti 10.00am

I wonder how quick I can get through that first tank of petrol.

 

My mate picks up his Porsche 996 Turbo tomorrow morning.

Lucky g1t!

Best find a reason to be in the area

Good luck with sleeping tonight to all those picking up cars, the number of times Ive not slept all night before picking up new cars is just criminal! Worth it the next day though

 

Anyone sad like me and have a specific CD to be played on the first drive?

(yeah, I know Scoob standard audio not up to much, but hoping to get it changed soonish)

 

My first music in the car will be Boxer flat four by Prodrive

Sum41 until the amp starts clipping.

 

My STi turns up in 2 hrs, just can't drive it til midnight. Would have got it early tomorrow, but the lazy dealer won't get up for my 8am start.

Try having one on the driveway for 5 hours and you can't touch it. Well not unless you live on a manor

 

yep!

10am!
