Default Loving the scoob life!

Got my first impreza last month (classic jap wrx), but held off driving it until my 4th year of no claims rolled around (yesterday!) because of the insurance costs!

Anyway, had been waiting for the big day, took her out bright and early, ended up doing 200 miles and eating through my optimax funds but aside from the smile the car put on my face, i had an overwhelming feeling of community from the other scoob owners. Saw 4 other imprezas, everyone of them waved. I haven't experienced love on the road like this since my days in my old mini and 205 gti! Loving it! Don't stop waving guys, it made my day!

Near Horsham, not too far from Brighton. Been a 205 man through my teens but after throwing so much money at my mi16's i thought it was time for a more reliable change.

Having never driven a scoob before i was genuinely suprised at the way it goes round corners, i've had stiff cars but this is another league, still thirsty for more though, theres a bit of lag, the engine doesn't really explode until it hits 3,5k. I'm already looking at Type RA's!
