Good to hear you'll be soon be out in the Impreza wreaking havoc on the roads of South Wales.

I have organised a bit of a 'run' around South and Mid Wales if your interested.

https://www.scoobynet.com/wales-26/8...h-of-june.html

The route around there should be a good test of the brakes and allow you some freedom to get used to the car again.

Another plus point is it should allow you to go and play with the bikers as well.

Scooby owners always annoyed me lol! having a Fireblade with 125bhp but only weighing 185kgs, and 0-60 in 2.9 seconds I could outdrag virtually anything in a straight line.

Until you go to the twisties which got fustrating cos I could never shake the car off, and stopping in a hurry, something bikes dont do half as well as a car, which usually ended in scaring the crap out of me.

Wonder if the STi Brembo's could be modded to fit

Had a couple of good dabbles with bikes over the years in the Scoob, suprised a few too. Put a Scoob on a good B road and they can't touch us in the twisties. But The Moose is the boy for the bikers, they usually pull over and call him by, fair play.

Yeah fair play to the Moose not many bikes would shake him off and he did scare the crap out of me over the black mountains two weeks ago, but to be fair he has had three off's with me sat next to him so i think its justafied for me to be scared.
