Default My First

Got my first scooby today a 2001 WRX in metallic blue with PPP
And my first impressions are, wow . what a fantastic car, put a smile straight on my face, I am now going to sell my 911, because the scooby is more of a drivers car than the porsche.
Top car.

Welcome to the grinning idiots forum don't worry, it doesn't wear off

Interesting comments about the Porker. What model 911 is it to be so dissatisfying ?

You're not wrong! Just took our lass to work (at 8.30 on a sunday morning....any excuse!), fillled up with Optimax thinking...I'm not sure I can afford this every week....


and then on the way there, I over took 2 cars in complete safety on a 60 stretch....something I wouldn't have been able to do in most other cars....Big grin....even the gf was grinning.

Did a similar thing yesterday with my Uncle Grinning "Wow, wouldn't have been able to do that in my car"

Makes scooby owning such a pleasure!

Edit: Oh yeah, welcome to scooby ownership...from another newbie)

The permanent big grin on your face makes everyone think you're some sort of weirdo...

Was contemplating seeing what she could do but too many cars invaded my private motorway. I hate it when they do that
