Default Where's All The Red Gone

At the risk of being told the look rubbish Whats with the lack of red Scoobs on the forum?

I got mine because it was different and I hadn't seen hardly any on the road

(could be a pain come time to sell up though )

What made you guys choose the colour you did?

I bought mine because the price was right at the time, I'm proud to be the owner of a red one though, only seen another 2 in the 3 1/2 years i've owned it.

Never considered one, because they don't make a type r in it!


And because white is the best colour (flame suit on)

Maybe it's the Mitsubishi connection? Their colour is traditionally red and Subaru is the blue.
i think there are more blues Scoobies than anything else, probably the same for the dark side. Most games etc depict Scoobies in blue and Evos in red.

Yes, that's a good explanation, red is just not a Subaru colour, most cars look the part in red but i don't think Subaru is one of them.
Plus i think red Subarus are quite rare (although mate used to have one).
I suppose now i've just posted this, about 5 million pics will now be posted of red scoobs

I bought red because I wanted an RA that was untouched and this was the only one I could find, still had the pea shooter exhaust when I got it. It's gone full circle now, all the trim back in, roll cage removed....and a child seat added.

Mine's a red 03 blobeye WRX. I've never seen another on the road.
Always getting comments like "oh it's not blue!" etc.
I'd upload photos if I knew how.

What made you guys choose the colour you did?
When I bought my scoob I was on the lookout for a bright red one, problem was there weren't too many newage Imprezas in bright red knocking about.

Ended up with an all too common blue one, on the bright side blue Imprezas seem to come up cheaper.

Supermellow: Is that your hawkeye in the avatar? If so any more picsof it? have to say I 've not seen a hawkeye in bright red before. Looks nice

Had the exposure set really low on my camera in the Brecon pic hence the darkness of it - Silly me
