Silver impreza, reg X***RRN (that may be wrong as by the time I got home I had forgotten!) Monday 20th Oct 7.50pm ish Winwick Road (A49)
I was driving along Winwick Road in MY03 Leon Cupra and look in the mirror to see an Impreza WRX. I’m no Scooby expert but it definitely had turbo bodywork and wheels consistent with an Xreg classic shape uk scoob turbo. So I floor it and wait and see if he takes the bait, sure enough he follows, we come to the lights at LA Bowl (3 lanes across) and are both at the front but separated by a car in second lane. I am now laughing to myself thinking I am about to get my ar$e well and truly kicked. The lights go green and I don’t even bother going off quickly but then notice he is not going that fast so I thought what the hell. I go for it, he goes for it and I end up edging past further up the road fairly comfortably although I admit I couldn’t have gone any quicker. At the next lights I try to get a look at the scoob to try and make out if it is a turbo, it did have a bit of a Scooby burble exhaust note but not a full-on decat throb. Was this an Impreza Sport turbo replica? Or just a badly driven standard uk turbo? I hope you are on here mate, if you have a turbo you should be ashamed of yourself! I was expecting a real beating and couldn’t believe it when I passed you

I know who it was.

It was my mates Dad, he borrowed the Scoob to collect his pension.

He is 94, and has poor eyesight, was he wearing a Trillby hat and smoking a pipe?

Oh.......congratulations, on your valliant driving display, pick on someone your own age next time.

 

Before you ask what he was doing collecting his pension at 10 to eight at night, well he was on his way back to Warrington from the postoffice at Penketh. I know Penketh is only 10 mins down the road, but this will give you some idea of how fast he drives.

Later Yoza

 

 

Yoza - I thought the only people you knew that went into post offices were those that wore balaclavas and carried a shotgun.....
Cuprakid - Well done,ever thought the guy might not have been trying????? Not everybody wants to race you know!! lol

 

not much will shame a scooby if you start like your Mssr Solberg when the lights change...LOTS of revs and dump the clutch, but i like my transmission. Perhaps Silver scoob does too and prefers the favorite A to B to show the ankle snappers how its done.

PS well done SWRT

 

Cuprakiddi

I know who you mean. You dont know your Scoobs much mate coz that was a Justy.


Pete

 

Nick,
Thats not true, next Ill be guillty by association.

And anyway Postoffice jobs are "so yesterday", you can steal money far easier nowadays, like opening a Subaru Dealership for example!

"Ah yes, stop and tail light bulb Sir, WRX you say, thatll be £34.96 plus VAT."

 

Not to mention problems with sensors in the exhaust cat

 

Fazakerly.

 

When i read Siver Scoob i thought it was me,on Tuesday last week on Winnick Rd some guy in one of them cheap Spanish things had a go shall we say and got more upset that i couldnt be bothered playing.
I was happy tootling along and when i sailled past on the inside still doing 30mph while he got stuck behind a lorry turning right,when it moved he saw the red mist and was off at mach 2 right past the flashing speed camera (I hope he remebered to say cheese) LMAO i did.

Zippy

 

well done Cuprakidda. Now move along smartly laddie!
dave.
P.S. Are you a regular on cupranet? if you are---- "remember me MISTY". I ripped your mate with the 300 horse focus, up for **** paper.

 

Having owned an 02 Leon Cupra briefly - 9 months from new, was as much as I could stand - all I can say is, it was:

A) Slow compared to my 3 previous Impreza Turbos and it's replacement - 02 WRX PPP.

B) So badly sorted in the suspension department, as to be dangerous when trying on the average UK road.

C) The most unreliable car I've ever owned (and well documented on CupraNet).

Cheers
