Nice and clean and from what I can tell......genuine.
As u know have been trawling all the classifieds for quite a few months now, and enquired about quite a few.

The good thing these days is you can get alot of info emailed over which saves a wasted journey.

It's amazing how many owners some of these 4 year old cars have had.

Done 600 miles last Friday looking at 2 grey ones. Was going to be 3 but the 3rd turned out to be Crystal rather the Urban Grey.

This one is 2 Owners the 1st one being a Subaru dealer in Chesterfield, who put the PPP on it.

Obviously not as clean as i am used too, but it has good potential.

I'm sure it won't take much to get it to 'Scott clean':polish:

We were only saying today that you'd gone a bit quiet;)

Enjoy it mate:five:

LOL yeh did try and keep the activities of the last week off the forum.

What I have to keep telling myself tho' is that it took a number of years to get the classic where it was, not hours/weeks.

Oh !! and polish and de-greaser are cheap and need to keep me happy for a bit. Defi's, 9x18's and 3" decats are not and will have to wait.

bigemp 01-04-2011 09:25 PM

whats your first opinions of it compared to driving the classic(i know you havent worked your magic on it yet so not how you wont it yet),but to me they always seem so different going from classic to newage,oh yeah looks good as well!!!!!enjoy and let the modding begin

Moley_WRX 01-04-2011 09:29 PM

Love that colour

Crowman 01-04-2011 09:32 PM

Torque of the 2.5 is nice, espesh on the motorway in 6th at 80.
Exhaust is too quiet as get too much engine/valvetrain noise....I remember when my classic was like this.

Handling is superb 'out of the box' and very solid/planted, makes the classic feel positively agricultural...never thought I'd say that.

It will be getting remapped but not until I can afford a 3" decat and RCM induction kit.

I test drove a Bob Rawle re-mapped one back to back with this one (well within an hour) and I was really suprised how the mapped one went over the Yorkshire dales I was testing it on.....so I have seen the potential ;)

I don't think so, think it's locked...but will try.
Only got it back at 3:00pm today and already stuck new pads on the front (had a spare set in the garage).

Scott.T 01-04-2011 09:53 PM

Not great piccies at the moment, as only just got it home after a 300 mile drive.....and before you say it...Yes it will be lowered and splitter'd. Bu tI need to sort out the top o my drive 1st if I want to keep the splitter.

Great minds think a like I was just about to ask the same question.:ok:

AndyWRX 02-04-2011 11:57 AM

Looks good mate now get :polish: :polish: :polish:

Lucky 02-04-2011 11:57 AM

Chuffed for you mate. Well worth hanging out for Urban Grey, its a lovely colour and you dont see many either. :10:

Lucky 02-04-2011 11:59 AM

On the RE070 point. I hated them while I had them, the car used to tramline all over the place and changing them for Goodyear F1's made a big difference to the ride, BUT....... the RE's are simply brilliant in the dry when pushing on a bit. The goodyears didnt hold a candle to them.

asperformance 02-04-2011 12:33 PM

very nice.......

Just what I was thinking :)

Nice looking car Scott enjoy it buddy:doubleup:

C. J. 02-04-2011 06:47 PM

enjoy the £460 road tax !

Red Baron 02-04-2011 07:10 PM

It's only £33 a month, some people pay more than that for a mobile phone contract.

Cheers Shane, I hadn't thought about it like that. That makes it alot more bearable.

Well, it was either £460 for the Scoob or cheaper Road Tax on an Audi 1.8TDi S-Line.

It took a good few months to decide to stick with the scoob.
I just couldn't bring myself to walk away from all you loverley people :vom:
