Default Ding Dong the Cossie has gone :(

Well it finally went. I had the Cossie on Ebay last week and after a million phone calls (all of which were wasting my time ) I have done a deal for a '94 UK Spec Scooby Turbo.

So goodbye Cosworth...



...and Hello Subaru



Luckily I still have the Onion so I can still be a valid member of PassionFord

I will miss the Cosworth tho

Yeah, i prefer the looks and performance of the Saff. But it needs a full respray and a couple of panels replacing. TBH I don't have the cash to get the bodywork done right now.

When the guy said he would be interested in a deal I thought 'Why not' and as of Wednesday I will be without an RS for the first time in 3 years

Still, at least I've still got a 'fun' car. Although not quite the 'fun' you can have in a rear wheel drive Cossie

the thing with scooby's from the people that i know have had or have them.

they are totally reliable, in that they never break down, but they always need bits doing to them, and everything seems really expensive when it needs doing.

you should be ok with a uk spec as long as it hasnt been abused too much. gonna be a bit dull after a 2wd cos though

I know. Two of my cousins already have Scooby's, both UK cars and I drive them quite regular. One of them is over 250BHP and it feels positivley boring compared to the Saff.

I am looking forward to having a 4-wheel drive again tho'
