    A formal retraction

    I would like to formally retract my hatred of Subaru Imprezas.

    I want one.

    Thanks for listening.

    Someone gave him a ride in one. And now he likes them. Rightfully so. I want one. And an Evo 8 FQ400. And also a TVR of some sort. But we can all dream

    Mate here at work has an X plated STI WRX, thing just flies.

    I'd love one, but I need to wait for the insurance to settle.

    I think my next car will be a scooby or an evo, although service costs will have to be considered..... I've done 16000miles in the last 5months since getting my 182!

    I'd kill for a WR1 - 4.2 0-60

    They were a bargain too, only £30k for supercar performance. Shame there was only 500 made and they're probably all gone now

    to me this means.....

    Sub into corner, deep...hard fast....
    Skii follows into corner, deep hard fast....and Skii lifts off the gas.

    Scuby lifted a tad then renailed the gas....

    Skii's Golf arse end drifted a tad wide, from his lift, and by the time he had the thing straight the Scuby was gone.

    right? or wrong?

    Yep - thats what I was referring to..

    Actually I have now redirected that hatred towards CTRs, Subarus seemed to have calmed it recently, and after being given a short (but eventful) lift in a mate's one, I was smitten, literally.

    Still wouldn't go to a meet though

    I've only ever been in one Scooby. It was the '99 world rally car, mind.
