It says its turbo charged so it either a wrx or a wrx sti,My guess is its a 225bhp wrx.Still its a great present to give him and i am sure he will love it no matter what it is

Looks like a WRX STI with the big rear wing and flared front bumper.
in short the fast one.

If you phone them they will tell you what car(s) they have and the pics may not be the car they actually use, its worth a call

cool, cheers guys,
i'm hopin he likes it. His love of scoobys i gotta admit is rubing off onto me. My uncle once managed to blag one for his comapny car a few years back. hehe (good effort there i thought) though a few years later he crashed it, Oops.
any hows,
i'll give 'em a call just in case it is some random photo and not the actual one he'll be in.
my only concern is that he only gets four laps in it. Is that enough do you reckon?

Yeah, should be enough to wet his appetite - until he decides to buy one

i went on a cooper s track day with darren edmonds (owner od dddays) it was 4 lapys in oxfordshire from the time i arrived to the time i was driving out of the carpark wa 16 mins (including registration)demo lap + 4 laps... the course was absolutly tiny...

dont want to be the bearer of bad news but 4 laps is a complete waste of money...

you need atleast 10.

i felt utterly ripped off.....

yeah, that's why i'm thinkin of getting him something else along the same lines. Any suggestions guys 'cause i do feel that 4 laps isn't quite enough. the hardest bit is gonna be dragging him away from the scooby afterwards. hehe.

As said, it is deffo a WRX but has clearly had some mods so could be quicker than standard. Either way, it will be a great drive though!
Let us know what it is like because i am thinking of doing it myself, i didnt fancy thrashing my own car, its far too shinny for that!

Rather than a trackday, why not look into a rally day. You do pay a little more money and it will usually be an older scooby you drive, but you do usually get more bang for your buck as they say.

oh yeah, hehe.

rally day sounds good. I've already got him the day in oxfordshire so i'll look into rally day aswell, can't just give him the four laps. It would be teasing him me thinks really.

12 left -and one of those is McCrae's - and I don't think he is selling

25? So that will be £29,000 for the car, and £30,000 insurance
