Welcome. The Supra was one of my favourite looking cars in the 90s.

You're old and cynical like me. Let em get on with it mate, but I do hear you.

There are some good examples of classics, but yes there are some right old sheds out there as well these days.

Congrats mate.

I agree with scoby0809, just cos it ain't new don't mean it ain't any good.

I was just as excited with my 1st Scoob, in fact I still am!!

Now don't prove us wrong. Keep it (fairly) standard and don't thrash it up and down the local high street. Go find a nice empty country road and enjoy!

lets get one thing straight the car aint a heap its completely standard and in perfect condition apart from a worn gearbox. the car will be kept standard too and not chav'd up either.

and after driving this for a few days i may buy a newer one next year but as i have bought it for a sunday play thing , me being 36 an all.

Elmer Fudgepacker that is very negative of you, classic scoob is by far the best lookin scoob ever made, and there are some examples out there that are cleaner than a brand new production car.

nice clean example fella. good on you. nice looking "heap"

elmer, your post imho just shows you as the car snob you seem to portray yourself on here.

unless its absolutley within what you deem acceptable, its either a chavved up heap, or cheap and nasty. sorry, but i dont agree with what you have said.

anywho back on topic.... what plans have you got for her???

Plan?

Well just wanna enjoy the ride at the moment, but later on i may change the grill and lights on the front to the crystal ones as they look a lot nicer, just gotta read up more and workout if i'd need to change the bonnet to do this.

plus attend some meets to gather some good advice about these cars from members who have had em for a while.

sensible enough. if you want the my99-00 crystal headlights (came on my scoob as standard), all you need is a different grill. light shapes were slightly different from the pre and face lifted models.

Nice car m8! Its a long slippery slope Subaru ownership.. Prepare for wallet to be opened

...don't listen to white hawkeye owners, they all seem to be disappearing up their own asses!!
They feel the need to slag classics for some reason....maybe due to having spent £23k+ trying to be a little different (odd?)

Not in my book. I'll never buy a Subaru that isn't a classic. I've had 5 classics and can afford the newer shapes but decide not to.

That's a nice standard car you've got there mate, and with shiney new mechanics, well done.
