Hi all, iv had a scooby for about 6/7 months and iv never looked back, although my scooby is only the Sport model i still benefit from the head turning the handling and the fun of driving a scooby, unfortunatley my scoob is poorly, i got rear ended by a f****n citreon xsara TANK !!!! when i finally got the boot open it looked 3 inches shorter than it should be, heres hopeing this forum can keep me in good spirits bout getting it back

Sorry to hear that, As I have posted in the past I seem to get attacked by French cars all the time.
Think of it this way, with the pay out and current car prices you can get a turbo!!

Lady T

Yep it may just be a blessing in disguise...go turbo!

Im am sorry to hear what happened though

Well thought out.

Bad luck. With you compo and insurance payout you should be able to get the car back to it's former glory with some new shoes perhaps.

Totally know how you feel. I am sadly in love with my car, my wife thinks I am lame but I have a huge emotional attatchment to it. Problem some issue during my upbringing has caused this irrational behaviour !!

My UK Turbo got rear ended in 07, took me ages to get it sorted, new boot (Thanks SwissTony) and new rear bumper, new exhaust etc. Pain in the A.

Now its all as it was I am happy bunny again. I took it out for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday as it was sunny and nice - in love again !

Why do people always assume that you only have a Sport cause you can't afford a turbo?

indeed!! a scoobys a scooby!! you get the odd tw@t that slates you for having a turbo 2000 not a sti its all the same round about!!

Welcome to the forum, i hope your strong minded!!! i was thinking of getting a sport as my daily run about, if anything you should be laughing as your car dont drink fuel!!

ComedyBoy

lmao never looked at it that way scooby-G, thanks for welcomein me to the forum peeps, yea im strong minded, thick.......skinned too lol, seen some real nice scoobs on here already, not spotted one in white tho , only seen this colour in books so if someone has one PLEEEEEASE post an let me know, looks awesome in white wth all decals on, kinda thinkin if ins. peeps repair mine i mite av it re-coloured white

lumpaywk

i have a sport and that was cos i cant afford a turbo but now i have it i think of all the plus sides over a turbo like insurance isabout 1/4 the fuel goes twice as far and it still looks just as sexy so at the loss of a track day a year when i can burn it up i think sports are a good choice though saying that i do have sti seats and a turbo bonnet lol so i feel like im driving one

I bought one as a run about while I raise funds to rebuild my STI. Can't fault it in any way other than it isnt as fast.
I tried running a FWD run about but I couldn't cope without 4WD

Does 30+ MPG and I don't fanny about either.

ComedyBoy

30+ mpg, thats some fuel economy, im lucky if i get 26 mpg, an thts on a good day lol, i must kick mine tooooo hard lol, sayin that i av got a boot full of sub an amp an my bonnet vent goes nowhere so i may av a small drag problem lol, the k&n air filter kit makes a HUGE difference tho, still unsure how many horses it adds if any, i was told maybe 3 but then told poss 20 cos of the extra direct air intake , not too woried bout tht tho, still corners like its on rails, god i miss my scooby lol

I must be adding it up wrong or something then...
I drive it like a **** at the best of times.

I do about half a tank+ on the motorway though.

SmileyScooby

i have a wrx and i get 27mpg during work places....thats keeping below the turbo.

ComedyBoy

Got the call today from the ins. peeps, MY SCOOB IS BEIN REPAIRED!!! yeah baby, all i gotta do now is wait for it to arrive home an go thrash the nuts off it lol cant f****g wait to get her back, i miss the handleing more than owt, i got a 2.0 tdi GT sport for a courtesy car, dont get me wrong its got awesome pull in ALL 6 gears but it handles like baby walker, never mind tho my pride an joy is on her way back


ALL HAIL THE SCOOBY

Great news mate

great news mate

ComedyBoy

Got her back today couldnt wait to go out in it so left the wife to deal with the money part , the BEAUTIFUL noise brought a lump to my throat sod it im off again..............

Nurse Gladys

Great to hear she's back home - no doubt a tearful reunion.

I am always in trouble at home for refuring to my Scooby as she or her and am told it's only a car...............oh no it's not!

Like you I've only had her for 8 months and she really is the best thing I have EVER driven. The sad part is that I decided I didn't want to risk the ice / snow / salt, so decided to take her off the road for the winter - and am counting the days til the sun is shining and the open road beckons!

Unlike yourself I can't leave the wife at home - as that's me - and I have to let the hubby drive - if he's been good (though I have threatened to report him for TWOC if he goes out without me LOL)

Enjoy your joyful reunion & watch out for the TANKS on the road.............

it's a fact really. a non-turbo impreza is pretty pointless.

lem6

yeah but be fair, what is the point of a turbo- less impreza, might aswell have a mondeo!

scoobyste1987

lem6, that is a reply of a ****, when i was 19, insurance on a turbo just wasnt acceptable, so i bought a sport, it was nothing like a mondeo, it was exactly the same as my RA except the power, looked a lot better than a lot of turbos ive seen and now at the age of 21 i have a turbo, your comments are the reason a lot of people say scoobynet is full of idiots!!!

head over to .:ImprezaSport.net:. and ask any of the members if their "mondeo" is pointless.

ComedyBoy

I absolutely f*****n love that i laughed sooo hard i woke the wife an had to go out to save an arguement , fortunatly for me it meant i got more time in my beautiful car

ComedyBoy

This to me seems as tho someone needs a hug sounds like uv had a tearful break up with ur boyfriend never mind, look on the brightside........ I HAVE MY PRIDE AND JOY BACK lmao (the wife sez u probly own a mondeo anyway an ur pissed about it lol)
