Welcome, I'll be the one launching ahead of you at the lights in my 3.2 DSG......

Owning an Impreza does not make you a road hero....but enjoy!

GC8

Its worrying isnt it?

TAINTON

Appreciate the car m8 and dont abuse it or you'll end up loosing your licence or even worse......

Great cars just wish id gone for an import now rather than my uk. Enjoy

misty

but owning a DSG does?

Marky9074

If people want to burn out clutches and tyres at the lights then that's their perogative.....

The DSG launches well every time....no failed launches, no burned clutches, no screeching tyres, just perfect gear changes....

Everyone on here seems to think they are the stig or something

The point I was making is this guy is not a road hero in his 96 import WRX

He will just end up in trouble and crash his pride and joy

My other car is a WRX300 BTW, I am not TT biased, just realistic.....

misty

What a load of bollox!!!!! Your havin a laugh mate..... the best any REAL testers have got is about 6.6-6.8 wake up laddy!!!

Marky goes all narcoleptic when he hears stuff he doesn't like.

misty

6 seconds..............I wouldn't bother embarrassing myself with 6 seconds...
dave

Marky9074

I dont see what I have to prove?

If I want to drive spiritedly I take the WRX300 out, but I don't therefore assume that I am faster than every other car on the road.

And everyone seems to assume that TT's can not modded either?

Both cars have awesome potential, so what is your problem?

Marky9074

Why do you have a ten year old standard jdm classic ??

misty

Errrrr!!!!!!...................................... .Yes!!!!
















Oh no not yes!........................................NO!!! I get those two mixed up...
You started it by suggesting the ladies///////sorry TT was the best thing for launching since sliced bread...When the world and his wife knows in reality it's just another wolf....sorry Golf..LOL!! in sheeps clothing.

Actually I have just re-read my post. I did not mean to imply that a DSG would beat an Impreza to 60....

I meant that the combination of inexperience, and lack of familiarity with the car would mean poor starts from the lights, and possible damage to the car...

He should not assume that he will beat every TT he meets

No offence meant....

Marky9074

ummm, if I plant my foot on the go button in the TT it goes and the DSG does the rest, I do not therefore have to concentrate on a perfect launch like I would in the scoob, this is what I meant.

Marky9074

Going there now. Cant waste any more time on a Saturday afternoon!

Anyway, havent you got anything better to do.....like drive your cars that are oh so fast?

Anyway m8,

We will just ignore the tt scooby argument and say welcome.

Had mine for 5 weeks now and love it to bits. Had a calibra turbo b4 but the scoob would eat it.

Dave

Marky9074

Do you think I should I was considering it...

DCI Gene Hunt

I think it would suit you, I've got them and I takes years off me....

It could be ten years before you can buy ale in a pub without proof of age.

Scoob999

Sorry that my nearly first post here is a complaint - but Ive had my scoob 4 weeks ish now, during the first week I had it, I was bombarded with comments like this and others. Im sure people are only trying to be helpful, and Im not really highlighting the comment Ive quoted in particular - but do you guys have any idea how much this sort of warning takes the shine off the new car? apparently i was gonna put it in a tree immediately after detonating the turbo, and just before it was gonna get nicked!
Not everyone goes mad when they get a scoob, I drove like an old granny for the first three weeks, till i decided to try it a bit faster on roads i knew, and never went any faster than I did in my previous car, but got a little more trust in the scoob. My previous car was a very light rear wheel drive so Ive got a good idea of how to corner with out losing the back end - I hope! Ive also booked a rally school day in a cossie, followed by time in an impreza on the track, and explained to the guy teaching that I wanted to better understand the car ive bought, hes kindly offered to give me extra time in an impreza with an instructor. The car is second hand and ive had it to several knowledgable folk to get it checked out also. I am well aware of how powerful this car is. New owner doesnt = prat! Give us a break!
Now Im gonna shut my big trap and post some pics of the new car, and gues what? I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv eeeeeeeeeeee it!
And I look forward to many years of safe motoring and chatting with everyone here! Clare x x x

Hi, Don't know where abouts in the North West you are from, but if you're anywhere near Wilmslow, then why not come to the SMACS meet. First thursday at the Unicorn pub at about 7ish. Everyone is welcome. Just a good laugh with those who own a scoob. (or not)

StickyMicky

you know, his 96 wrx could actualy be a MY97 wrx

which is a ****en decent bit of kit compared with the early ones IMO
