Hire a Fiat Marea 1.6 for a week and drive it all the time. Then get back in the Scoob. Cheaper than modifying

i said that after 3 months and all it was was a wet floor and i was side ways and hit a parked car. if he had not been there i would have missed but that is life. on a good note getting it back in the new year.

When you feel like it's down on power take someone out for a spin who's not been in a 300BHP car and look at their faces and white knuckles - car might not feel any quicker but it's good for a laugh !!

Couldn't agree more with BSWRX. Had a ride in bro's MY02 WRX last Xmas; thought it was the bee's knees compared to my BMW 328i. Got an STi8. Just had it PPP'd. Let him have a play in mine over Xmas, had a play with his. He's jealous. I think his is boring
