Ok, so its been a very long time since I last owned a Scooby...11 years ago to be accurate....

so I took the plunge back in May and got myself a Mica Blue Bug-Eye...

It came with all the Rally Decals:

which soon came off - with just a few left as it got dark:

Ive always loved scoobies. The noise the boxer engine makes is hard to beat (unless youve got a big v8) the only thing thats ever put me off is the running costs. Fuel consumption is poor and insurance companies bend you over. If they were cheaper to run and werent so fisher price plasticky inside, id buy one tomorrow.
Looking good by the way:thumbsup:

I know this will be my 3rd impreza and the only thing that comes close was the V6 from my FTO's

Get some nice prodrive rims on that car to finish the look off!

Fuel and insurance are just a small dent in how good these cars are to drive

Lol at the wheelnut comment...

Hmmmmmmmmm don't ya just love people who post useless crap because they have nothing better to do..... Not!!

I am looking at getting a set of prodrive (or style) wheels for her and get her a little lower for a better stance..

I am 32 and paying only £612 for my insurance so not bad as my Mk5 Astra SRi Turbo was about the same... Fuel costs well Im getting about 320 miles to a full tank at the mo

Still for the sound of the engine and the drive it's worth it

So captain your my man when I need things changed lol
