Todd Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Really liked my old scooby, was fantastic to drive, practical and the seats were great Really like the latest shape as well but you really need to get your head around the whole image thing with them (or at least I did) you do get some serious slagging off in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjodrell Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I like the scooby alot, nice to drive and fast both in a straight line and on corners fantastic traction. I love my Supra, BUT , the novelty of the rear wheel spin is beginning to bore me a bit.I was out yesterday , from a roll attempted to out run a humble saloon, some Honda or something , NOT a sports saloon though, slight throttle resulting in wheel spin , eased off gentle throttle again , wheel spin. Anyway this modest car thraped me, seriously I could have left him for dead in my Vectra, REALLY. Okay the roads were greasy but not soaking. I suppose it could be the crap , rock hard Jap tyres I still have on the car, looking forward to the spring and some nice warm dry roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 We're planning on getting a Scooby next year, replace the Yaris - then when I've got some more cash I might upgrade to a late Aristo or something. If I win the lottery I might just buy this though: http://www.oselli.com/items/22?back=%2Fstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul ashton Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I know they have stunning performance but for me they don't have the looks of the soop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I win the lottery I might just buy this though: http://www.oselli.com/items/22?back=%2Fstock A friend of mine brought an Aristo from Liverpool dock auctions, straight off the boat. It was a cracking car with really nice alloys/low miles and unabused. Pity it didnt have leather seats.That car was REALLY fast (in a straight line) I couldnt believe just how fast it was. Funny thing is I cannot remember him having the awfully traction I seem to be experiencing, okay you could make it fish tails and spin the rear wheels if you pushed it but i loose traction very easilly. Might try some new tyres I have been told the Jap one are know to be bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Father in law has a 2 door type r scooby and it is very nice and bloody fast 0-60 in 4.3s out of the box!! 350 bhp can be had with a remap but thats about as far as you can take them without major work but tbh its more than enough for one of them, upto 100-120 mph its seriously fast, but theres the common'ness of them, the old blue with gold wheels thing and after a year of ownership my father in law really misses his skyline and is concidering selling up. they do sound good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My brother used to have An Impreza Type "RA" - the thing was awesomely quick to around 80mph, no wheelspin nothing, just would pull so frekkin hard all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yeah mines blue and while it is practical and rockets from the lights like a sillything it doesn't have the looks of the supra at all. Still we needed a boot. Gold wheels are the first thing people seem to ditch (anyone who isn't a chav that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I just had to had both! ok its a sport but looks the part some people say its chav i just love rally cars!! Need to get my number plate put on the supra really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My old one was a dark purple, looked black until the sun hit it, was stunning (or at least I liked it). And. Hi My name is Todd, I've been a fan of gold wheels for 2 years now and I have no intention of stopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
