Time to move on
 
saddens me to have to write such a thing, but unfortunly the time has come for me to move on an sell up both subarus.

I've just put an offer in on a nice little bungalow that needs quite a bit work,realistically Iam not going to have the time to touch the race car let alone spend any money on it, so it might as well go to a good home.
I will be putting a for sale thread up of all the parts.


Still Undecided Whether to repair the type r or sell it as it is :(

I sill be be floating about the forums an will defo be getting another scoob!

Sorry to hear tone, especially as race car was so hear completion :sadnod:

Steve_PPP 04-03-2013 11:34 PM

That's a shame Tone, but sounds like you've got yourself a decent sized project to crack on with instead of the scoobs!

Gutting mate, I had to do the same a good few years ago.

Really wanted to see the white one finished as well. :0(

SpecB 05-03-2013 06:22 AM

Family first but won't be long before you're back I bet!

BIG"E" 05-03-2013 07:00 AM

Very sorry to see this news,

I think you've made a wise decision though, it would have been so good to see the white one going round the Ring.

But you are young enough to get the first rung on the property ladder and have some more toys when you've made your first million..

Really did want to see THE JUSTY finished,. :yeah::yeah:

munk 05-03-2013 07:30 AM

that is a shame mate...sell the type r and keep the white one hidden up for a rainy day,or when your fed up with diy at the house!. my biggest regret was selling the ra that i had but the funds went towards mortgage aswell...so well worth it. in the long run!

SUBARMAN 05-03-2013 05:40 PM

Shame Tone but family first, eh.

riiidaa 05-03-2013 05:47 PM

Bummer


As I recall your type R is blue? What reg? I am looking for a blue classic, R reg or newer
and don't need the engine nor gearbox.

Scott.T 05-03-2013 05:48 PM

Good luck with the house. It's a wise investment, much wiser then anything you or i would spend on a Scooby.

2-jaffacake-tone 05-03-2013 07:21 PM
