Default Coming on SNET is pretty depressing at the minute for me...

Why?

Because I seen my scoob driven away today. Someone has bought it and I am now carless! My choice though so I'm not too down, it wasnt forced upon me!

It just a bit sad seeing the car you've loved for the past few years go off into the distance!

Here's a few pics I've taken over the years...

Day I brought her home...




New exhaust...



New splitter...



With its 'mates'...








On the move...






Just washed pics...








Hope I havent bored you all, just wanted a little send off thread to mark the end of an era!

I made a bit of a snap desision to find a new car and I fancied a change from Subaru as I've owned 2 over 5 years now. I put the wheels in motion and once done everything fell into place. Car sold, new one to find. I'll definately be coming to the brand one day i'm sure!

I had one from brand new on 06 plate in black. Done a few bits to it plus put dream science on it and pushed out 288bhp. Was a complete waste of time buying it and waste of money tunning it. It's fwd say no more. Spins up every where, my mate had a clio 182 standard and would waste me off the line to 60mph because the focus was to busy trying to get grip.

You will be disappointed with getting one after having a scooby with 4wd.

I'm not a racer and I've never come near to pushing my 4WD impreza to the limit so I disagree. I have driven an ST 3 times now and not disapointed once. My scoob was not tuned nor will my St be.

I'm sure I will be very happy with the change
