Hi Gang......festive greetings to you all!
I'm just wondering about poor old Arron.Is he:
1. not well?
2. a wind-up merchant with nothing better to do?
3. just another arrogant tosser who drives a BMW?
As for the M3, what a great car it is.....my brother has one and, when I'm as old as he, I might get one too!! The M3 has a cracking engine and outruns Scoobs at the top end, but my brother just can't beat me in the windy stuff, especially in the wet....Scoob(PPP,Leda B) wins every time.....and believe me, my brother is trying his ***** off and is desperate to get one over me!
Bottom line: there are many great cars about and we should just enjoy each for its virtues and avoid ending up bitter and twisted like old Arron!
Amen
DBM
PS: Nothing personal Arron.....I'm sure you're a top bloke and I look forward to meeting you at a track day where you might even be courteous enough to get out of the way of all those Scoobs waiting to blast past you!!!!!

I think he suffers from that "i need lots of attention"
Like that guy who drove his truck down the motorway and said his brakes had failed?? But hadn't ?? I would love to know what that illness is called??
Maybe you can treat it Arron

Arron actually has a sense of humour, unlike a large number of people on here. Still, if you had to put up with a Subaru, I guess that there is not a great deal to be cheerful about! LOL
Birdy, you have permission to carry on Sir! Keep the banter coming, as it makes me howl.
Clearly most people haven't got the idea, but never mind. The longer they're exposed to it the more chance there is of them understanding
Nurse, the screens .......

PS If you actually take a bit of time out to say hello I think you may find me alright too
My main problem in life is not at Subaru owners its Subaru themselves taking folk for too much dosh. Now that is a minority I know cos most people on here have what I would class as a NORMAL Subaru, its the special "we want to make a car like Richards" models that I personally feel are just not worth the money. Once bitten and all that.
I do actually like the look of the new STI7 and I`s sure I posted somewhere that it is the right money if it has all the bits on for £27495. I bet there `s a catch there aswell tho
Anyhow Happy Xmas to all of ya even the ones that cant stand me and a Happy New Year

I left that to you Doc as I ran out of space in me boot
My first Scoob was a reddish blue 5 door mate with all the trimmings so I know what they do
I actually prefered the look to a 4 door at the time.
Next time at Bedford we`ll have a go....I think you may be surprised tho
But it`ll be the car doing it you understand

You've got more chance of sh1tting cucumbers than passing Birdy's Hitlers Revenge in your Scoob
In fact I'll toss you the keys to me R34 at the next track day and you can have a go at passing him in a proper car
Not that i'm confident or anything............
don't believe me......well hands up anybody who drives a japanese car with 4WD that managed to pass Birdy at bedford when it lashed down last month......hmmmm I guess that'd be no-one then.
I rest my case
Cheers
Steve

Hhhmm Arron, Steve I think you've misread my post.
At Bedford Birdy was maybe catching me in the one session we were anywhere near each other, hard to tell 'coz we were about 1km apart. It was rather wet then wasn't it
What it is supposed to say is I want to watch Mr DBM trying to pass the Beemer

What is it with you guys - constant effing posts about we were the fastest at the most recent Scooby track day, and it ain't the first time I've seen posts like this.
The SIDC may wonder why some of the events are not fully subscribed, and sadly it is exactly this kind of attitude that puts people off coming to SIDC track events any more. The upside is that Bedford recently was one of the best in terms of track etiquette, but this is not what it is about.
Personally I did not see Mr Bird on the track, and wouldn't comment in his skills - but what does it matter - the events are supposed to be for enjoyment, and this kind of macho rubbish is going to kill them off. And you don't even drive bluddy Subarus. And that is not a precious thing about Subarus are best, simply that the said track day, and others you have attended, are Subaru Impreza Driving Club events, with the emphasis on the first four words.
So, come to our track days, put the ego away, take the **** out of the Scoobs all you like, but don't get some naive driver trying to pass you out of ego and wiping out their car, or worse.

PS Before anyone posts that this borne of bitterness at being blown away by said M3, I didn't see it out on the track when I was out, so I couldn't really comment - I saw Chins car, and he went out in mine.

But not at these track days - and the constant posts about your guys being the quickest are simply ridiculous and incitefull.
A number of SIDC members I know have given up coming to SIDC events precisely because the crap you guys have posted here. It's one thing bragging about RR figures 'cos they can seriously injure much more than your pride - but the testosterone fuel rubbish like this has seen a significant increase in cars being written off on track days - how many Scoobs got wiped last year - speak to the loss making insurers if you need to know.

Trout I read your comments with interest 
I think if you use the search facility you will find my posts very imformative and I do remember posting about track days and why do people take their pride and joy round when for a lot less money they could buy a propper track car or even go racing so button it
Steve is merely using his sense of humour which is clearly a skill you havnt mastered yet
Do you seriously think I would risk my very expensive pride and joy trying to prove nothing to you???
And let alone Steve`s car which now currently stands him in at £60K
How many Subaru`s can you buy for that then hmmmm three I reckon.
I think he would love to take his Subaru round but thats his wife`s runaround
Right so lighten up and chill.
My racing days are on hold for a while.
Regards and tongue in cheek as ever,Arron.

Are you on this BBS purely to incite other Aaron? You harp on about all these factual and helpful comments you have made and then you go and blow it by making childish comments about how much your car is worth. So what if your car is worth twice the cost of the standard WRX. Some people cant afford that much for a car, some dont want to spend that much on a car and most dont want to fork out another £20k for a car that is only slighty faster - are they any less of a person because of this?

Aaron,
I also can find posts from you and Steve bragging about how no-one could pass you at Donington last year and that you were the fastest thing on track - which again was debateable.
Ok, the only thing you have proven in your response is that you can afford to crash your car three times more than the next man. I am not doubting your driving ability - I am sure that if it is at least as half as good as you claim it is then it will be fine what worries me is that I know of a number of people who are not coming to SIDC track days because posts and braggadicio like this.
What is worse is that people with less skill or ability or care than you, read this, try and take you on on the track and lose their car in the armco, or even worse, my car - so my dear friend, it is you who have missed the point, and my sense of humour remains intact for more appropriate situations.

Sorry trout but i`m still missing the point I think. If you speak to Rich Squire he`ll explain
How much my car os worth was used as an example to prove to you that I wouldnt take the risk trying to RACE people.
My posts regarding track days, especially Donongton, were meant for Dingy in the main and Mike Rainbird who definately think that they are the top boys
A little wind up go`s a long way ya know
P1 fanatic..........I certainly am no better a person than anyone on this board just because I have a more expensive car. It simply means that I have to find more money every month
But I dont mind the slightly more cash for what I have now over and above the car that you seem to like a lot.
Give my regards to all at Welch`s as I see your from Cambridge.
I hope you dont spend as much time there as I did when I had my P1.

Lighten up a bit mate...
Some could say your stuff about how fast you reached at Bedford before braking will encourage people to leave their braking too late trying to outdo you.
Or how your passenger had cramp from hanging on may encourage people to try to scare their pasengers.
Aaron is having a laugh winding people up (obviously working ), just laugh and tell him to fukc off like everybody else does.
