April 3, 201312 yr Hi folks. Sean, 26, from East Lothian in Scotland here. Not currently the owner of a Scooby at the moment but will be shortly. Have owned a blobeye 2.0 gx sport wagon and a forester 2.0XT in the past. Will be the proud owner of a blobeye wrx 300 by the end of the summer courtesy of the father-in-law. He bought this one only for the reason that he knew i was looking to buy one soon and it was too good an example to pass up for the price it was going for, even with a failed injector.!Does help that he is a Subaru specialist ;) Will keep things updated until I am the proud owner :)
April 3, 201312 yr Welcome mate. Shame you didn't live closer to me I would know who to buy rounds for in the pub ;)
April 3, 201312 yr Wotcha and welcome Sean - point your man in the direction of the site, would be great to have his opinion as well - also what is his Subaru car of choice?
April 3, 201312 yr Author Haha..... Believe me, he gets plenty beer off me when it comes to doing me favours when it comes to cars. Handy that he is a friendly MOT tester too..... Reckon the 1st thing on the cards for the scooby will be a decat downpipe. Not sure if I'll leave the centre box yet. And I'll have a look at panel filters too Defo not changing the prodrive rear section, wanna have the car looking OEM+
April 3, 201312 yr Author Jay762 - I'll say to him the next time I pop round, he's still a bit of a novice on the Internet. Getting a bit better since we got him an iPad for Xmas haha. He's had a couple of classics, a bug eye, my old forester and now the blobeye WRX 300. His favourite he has owned has to be the WRX 300..... Reckons its the cleanest example he's owned before and he got it for a steal.... Even if it needed a new injector
April 4, 201312 yr Looking forward to some pictures we have some members with some really clean examples will be nice to add it to the line up :)
April 4, 201312 yr What better place to learn the Internet and forums then here ;) And agreed would love to see pic's of all 3 :)
April 7, 201312 yr were about in east lothian are you im in prestonpans maybe go for a blast 1 day once you get your car
April 8, 201312 yr Author I am living in Tranent just now but will be moving to Prestonpans just before i get the car. You will probably have seen it driving about. It's blue with yellow scooby doo decals fitted
April 9, 201312 yr Author pics as requested I know the decals are not to everyone's taste but i'm leaving them on for now as they are different from the usual SWRT ones you see. The car will officailly become mine on the 30th of May...... thats when (touch wood) i pick up my 5th years no claims bonus. Waiting until then means i'm able to get a much, much cheaper insurance quote. Been provisionally quoted £380 by Privelige which i think is a ridiculously low price, considering i'm a 26yr old, 7yrs driving, 5yrs protected NCB and an SP30 conviction 9 months ago, with my 27yr old fiancee as a named driver with 5yrs driving and a clean licence. Counting down the days...... 52 and counting :)
April 9, 201312 yr Whoooo! looks nice. And fog covers too :) Wow that is cheap I'm paying more then that and I'm over 30 :D And I bet it's like waiting for Christmas I still get excited though when waiting for things I.E new car ;) And I would say the stickers are not for me but I do have the SWRT on mine. But each to there own I say if you like it that's all that matters mate
April 9, 201312 yr Author I'm not 100% sold on the stickers..... reckon i'll remove them at some point. I don't even have the car yet and i've drawn up a list of things i wanna do :) I would say i'm worse than a wee boy on christmas eve
April 9, 201312 yr Oh we're all the same it must be the petrol running through us :D And I can relate to the job list before you even get the car. I write the to do list myself :)
April 9, 201312 yr The decals are certainly different, not seen those before - got a list that keeps getting longer myself ;)
April 10, 201312 yr yeah seen it going about.stickers are diffrent but tbh its hard to stand out in a crowd because most people have the same graphics just diffrent coulours.
April 13, 201312 yr true but im not seein a blue oval with stars on any of those cars lol p.s i sat and studied the pic before this post lol
