Default Hello Everyone!!!!

Just a little note 2 say hi to you all!!! Im new to this and am looking for some friendly advice. I am yet 2 purchase my 1st Scooby. I am looking for something with explosive power but having owned a tuned pulsar which was forever going wrong I am a wee bit apprehensive about buying 1. How reliable are they? The STI seems to be the way to go, I think. Am I right thinking that Type Rs are imported and how does the P1 affect an insurance quote.Phew! Any adice would be kindly received

You will get many different opinions on here about the choice of car. It all really depends on budget and what you are planning to do in the future.

I have about £8k to spend and I want 1 that will last. My pulsar used 2 hit 60 mph in 5 secs and I just want something that will be close to the buzz of that without blowing up like my pulsar did

I`d bite their hands off at that price.
Just make sure that all mods if any are declared.

Welcome mate!

I found insuring an import was cheaper than a UK for some reason, So I snapped there hands off!
