Im gonna be in london and ireland for 10 days starting next tuesday. I want to pick up some Subaru stuff while im there. Nothing big, stuff I can carry back with me on the airplane. Anyone want to help a brother out and give me some help finding keychains and stuff like that, so I can bring stuff home with me. Thanks a lot

Don’t know??? Anything you can get over here I would think you would be able to get in the US. Might be wrong?? Have a nice time in London cant stand the place my self, to many people not enough space.

An American in London for the next 10 days?

Not en route to Eye-Rack are you?

Should be plenty of space in a B52 to take a few scoobs back.

Hicky .. that sounds the one.

NC2 ...its only a small road. So you will find it within afew minutes.

Visit a scooby dealer and ask for a long demo etc. Tell them you are living here etc..



Moderatore please note me been a good boy!!


All you have to do is click here and your dream will come true!!!

Hi Dylan.

Enjoy the break, hope you can cope with London though, I come from there and avoid it now. At least it will be something different to see. Hope you find what you want.

I work about 60 seconds away from this shop.

When I popped in last week they only had a couple of fleeces and T-Shirts all of the same design, so not very impressive

There were some caps, no big jackets or anything

They had a few models in different sizes too of the 2002 rally car and a nice 22B

Check out this UK website http://www.grandprixlegends.com, they sell everything and a fair collection of Subaru stuff...I'm sure they ship international.

Here is the exact address to the subaru area:

I'll be in Galway most of the time, and I'm taking a couple day trips to London. I'll definately check out the Alex Reade store. Sounds like its pretty good. I'll definately also be stopping buy a dealership in London. Wanna get some pics of the STi, if there is one there. Thanks a lot guys for your help. I'm really looking forward to this trip.

Hello Phil

My wife also works just around the corner (Brodwick Street) last time I visited the shop it was well stocked..... O'well.


Mr USA


I am sure with a bit of "Talk" you can get a good test drive. Say you are working at Embassy (Marine/IT/etc etc) Or for "Chase manhatten"...

When i visit the states. Ihave driven loads of stuff for free. last time had a "Northstar(FANTASTIC ENGINE) STS cadillic" for 2 days!!!

Beemer,

You are for sure a very naughty boy. However, the last time I was there you should have seen the twin turbos that were on display

If you ARE in london let me know what date and I'll bring my car up and take you out for a spin, if you want. I'll be at work, so it'll have to be on a long lunch break.

You are missing out on a business opportunity here, though.
If you are coming over, you would be able to make some cash by buying a few bits (Apexi electronics, for example) for US prices and bringing them over and selling them here. You'll make a profit, as the mark up on US bits in the UK is about 50% in some cases.

Tell the Scooby dealership you are a young marine on 20k per annum and they will let ya take it for a spin, say you're here on a 3 year detachment yada yada.

They love the military for loans cause they always pay up! Bring your license ya never know!

P.S. Over to take bug eye for a spin they are desperate to flog those
