Default We saw this scoob on holiday..please identify it for us :)

Now whilst on Holiday, we spotted this scoob parked up at a big supermarket.
Normally we would not have taken pictures of a scoob, but this one caught our eye for some reason

It seems to be a mixture of styles, years etc so please help us out and tell us what it is . We have a pretty good idea but over to you guys...and yes before you ask we did not use any fancy filters on the lens. It really is that colour

Ariel on A pillar would suggest its either a Type RA or a UK turbo, but rear wiper suggests its not either, it has got the UK rear lights though, just a pity about the colour

We thought it might be a sport pretending to be a turbo as it still has the 1 pot sliding calipers on the front. The less said about the pop tart rivet sideskirts the better
The interior looked like the 93/94 red fleck interior from a wrx, which would go with the square rear plate and wash wipe but then the a pillar ariel makes that all wrong. DVLA website says the colour is Orange...no **** sherlock

did you get a look at the rear brakes by any chance? drum brakes would indeed confirm a sport in disguise

Looks like it is a WRX then. The suage mark on the rear bumper is a giveaway as is the rear washwipe, interior, square plate etc. It just threw us slightly with the calipers and godawful colour !!

Cracking Asda that . It furnished us with all the bits we needed for a BBQ

On the subject of Dorset Scoobies, there are right few grumpy gits in your neck of the woods. One lovely looking 555 was sat in traffic as we came past so we stopped to wave and the guy just stared at us...

Also a red classic looked like a UK car 95 onwards I think with an old style Scoobynet sticker ( the www one in white)on the rear window..we flashed him but got nothing back.

Tell your lot to cheer up for gawds sake
