Default My new car !!!!!!

Traded in the bugeye WRX for a Blob STI type UK today and i am astonshished at the difference between the two cars.
Pickup in the sti is amazing, cant stop grinning

Kids and sweet shops spring to mind.

Im 36 years old going on ten, but for some reason the mrs doesn't seem so excited

Going out now for a prearranged meal with friends so new car is tucked away in garage.
Roll on tomorrow

women have a habit of trying to ruin your enjoyment of a new car.I had the same with my first Scooby. She said she hated it so every time she went for the keys I told her she hated it and perhaps she should take her car. As soon as I got another and she drove it she said she liked it. They're jealous of you paying attention to something else

My woman just grins, giggles or gasps Last week whilst merging with traffic I needed a little squirt of throttle to get in before the next batch and she likened it to "being shot out of a canon" She used to be OK with the speed, but since the last bout of suspension revisions and some driver training the cornering speeds have increased significantly and now she does express some concern.

Enjoy your new car mate

You might wanna speak to SteveChaps. He had one of those recently but was back behind the wheel of a Scoob pretty quickly Very high maintenance and unreliable, but blindingly fast.
