Default How many Classic owners does this apply to ?

How many Classic owners on S.Net have had their UK or JDM Scoob since it was brand new and still have it ?

I took delivery of mine in November 99 (5 months after ordering it) It cost me STI money even then and now it's worth naff all, but what the hell residual values are overated.
It still makes me everyday

Got my Euro import new in July 2000 after 6 month order, drove it home from Holland with a big grin and still grinning. Only cost me £16k and I've done 30,000 happy miles and it still drives like new. What would I replace it with that's such a good all-rounder??

Guilty

and unless Subaru do something really special I can see myself keeping it as the new cars are still not as good or as much fun as my 00 classic.

ok mine wasn't from brand new but i did purchase it with only 5k on the clock nearly 5 years ago. October 2000 UK Turbo, 62k on the clock.

Haven't wanted to change the car really, test drove a PPP'd 'bug eye' WRX a few years ago, didn't put a smile on my face like my old classic.

Its lived with quite a few new age UK STi's on the road over the years

Simon, and others..... it's a my00, had to wait 6 agonising months for it.... but, picked it up March 1st 2000,.... since then, 45,000 basically trouble free miles, and lots of combinations of wheels.overall look, i got fed up with the original spoiler, so fitted a 22b replice jobbie..... but after about 2 yrs that started letting loads of water into the boot, so i thought if i have no holes in the lid there will be no way water can get in... so, off with that, weld the holes up and fit a BMW spoiler, fitted as it was, no reshaping or anything, and i thing it looks great, then i decided that the st2's that were on it had to go, so, then came the Rota's, that has made the hole thing looks far more discrete, and i luv it.......

It has a few mods ther somewhere... so it surprises a few people aswell.... debadged so some people don't even know what it is

Anyone wanna buy the plate i had on it..... S600BYO......pm me!

Got mine in May 98 after waiting for months. I still have it and it's just turned 29K
I've also spent a small fortune on it but that's another story (see page 72 in Scoobymag 6)

Yeah still got mine bought it brand new in nov 99,went to look at second hand one at dealers and came away with a brand new one 5 days later,got 30k on it now and saved a fortune on servicing as was not impressed with dealer so serviced it myself since it was a year old.

Bought it when my son was born and i reckon i'll still have it when he starts driving.

I really miss my classic, they really are fantastic cars...I moved to a blobeye because of a few problems with my MY99 and I thought it would be a big leap in the right direction. Although the new car is nice it's not got that little something that the classic had.

All of you guys/gals with good classics are very lucky indeed
