Default Back in a Scoob!!

Well guys, after my short and uneconomical break in Subaru ownership, Im back, in this....







Those were the pics from the ad Here's how she's looking now





Massive thanks to Dylan for going with me and checking it over and putting up with all my questions I looked at one up in Yorkshire and was gonna pick that one up but rang the DVLA about the tax and they said it was in the £450 bracket Apparently if you contest it then they will change it!!

It's a completely different car to my Blobeye and I loves it It's immaculate, worth every penny of what I paid for it and all the fuel up and back !!

As i said Merv, anytime, it was a nice trip. Hope my driving didn't scare you. But i do hate middle lane hoggers and people who think its totally acceptable to leave there full beam on after you pass them??

She is a very clean example and no doubt she'll be kept mint with you!!!!

Cheers mate!! I held onto the Jeeezus handle a couple of times I'm glad we went later, traffic would've slowed us down a bit

Hopefully it'll be right for a wee while at least Jon!! But yes, a 2.1 will most probably be the order of the day in the end

Enginewise it's got a full decat, 7b plugs, induction kit and been remapped !! Probably around 320-330ish bhp!!

Cheers Rob, you can get them from Subaru at the cost of a small country just need a P1 chassis number! To be honest, it's a bloody good fit and looks the nuts!! It's been well looked after so I'm a very happy bunny !!

Nice car Merv, I bet you were knackered yesterday going to pick the car up on Saturday night and then moving house yesterday.

I bet it won't be long until you start doing a few bits and pieces to it, I know when I had my Spec C I didn't plan on doing much to it...

I was hanging out yesterday Ty, I only moved two loads yesterday, the rest is going on Saturday! Had 4hrs sleep I've got a few bits I want to do, 350bhp will be enough powerwise! I need a long 5th too!!
