especially like the dedicated website!!!
scoobykillers.com
how strange, i never diss other cars, whats the point?, but if i did have to say something about one i would at least get some facts correct!, a few of the posts there said that scoobs dont handle!! how can they say that on a mk2 astra website!! bloody funny read though.

You've got to ask why the guy keeps bugging a GTE driver?? One day he will pick on someone with a properly tuned XE.

Scoobs always get a hard time, but thats only because they have become a performance icon. Very little that can touch a Scoob for all round ability.

That was a lot of fun.

So who here is upset at having to live with their "turbo'd Jap Airfix kit" as opposed to a mark 2 Astra ?!

Love the fact that pics of an accident damaged Scoob are shown to "prove" that the handling/grip isn't any good !

At least one chap accepts that the Impreza is "on a par" with the Astra !

Its a shame that theyve become slightly chavvy now , there mostly driven by people that havent any real passion for the driving. They dont know what a real drivers car is , they just know that its cool or fashionable to have one.

Tell the guy down the road that at least your not narrow minded enough to go out and buy the latest bug eye scoob , instead youve gone for something that needed a little more thought choosing.



this one made me giggle

Only got as far as reading the first 4 pages but they seem a fun lot. They also seem pretty sensible talking about running costs, how the subaru image is changing etc

Cant be bothered to read the rest of the thread.
