After getting a negative from my wife about testing a Scooby 2 years ago I got a new Audi S3 in Sep 01, it's a lovely car and fairly quick. Then on Tuesday I test drove an 01 STI Prodrive PPP

I am collecting Saturday

Not from Osbornes in colchester by any chance? Just I believe mine's on the forecourt there still.

No, the one I test drove was in Chelmsford, but the one I am buying is at a dealer in Worcester.

Nik,
Welcome to the fold.
A local meet for you is the Flat Four meet at the Plough & Sail, Rettendon. meeting this Thursday 17th.

Stevie

Do you mean 02 STi Prodrive PPP, ie , an STi7?

No sure they did an 01.

Nick1

Thanks 3times, do you have any idea what time on Thursday? Not sure what time I will be finishing work, but if I get home in time I will come along.

Hi Stevie, sorry for the confusion, the one I test drove was a 51 plate registered DEC 01, must have been one of the very first, it was a car belonging to one of the directors at Subaru UK.

The one I collected today is an 02 plate STI7

Nik,
We meet from about 7.30. Most stay till closing.

Hope you can make it.

Nick,

I'd be interested in hearing how you find it, particually in the running cost area.

Basically I have an 02 Sti with PPP and a baby on the way in a week or so. If money got tight, one of the cars I was considering was an Audi S3.

Cheers
Gareth.

I would not go near an S3 at the moment. I just sold mine, great car but with the new shap A3 coming out they are a depreciation nightmare. Get a Leon Cupra R from Europe for £15k new, get it chipped to 270 bhp by MTM and you are away.
