keep getting these urges

See having owned the ERST now for 6 years, the fun factor is going. only evr owned 2 cars in my life,1 being a nova sr and the esrst

but esc cos is out of the question, as its just too much, so was thinking a cheap scooby could be bought.. air con 4wd, its all good

wrong or right

 

Cheap car - al be it a bit common LOL.....

 

Dont do it man........

 

Nowt wrong with it!

 

see the thing is.. its days like national day and ford fair ect... its a wicked buzz in a 10/15/20 car convoy down the m1, all RS's thats what i love

wont quite be the same.. im starting to think that at 25 im just loosing the interest

something like this can be had soooooooooo cheap



i can appreciate cossie owners keeping a cossie, but a erst for a scooby cant be a bad thing

 

Morning Westlife, I personally think your RST looks sooooooo much better than that scooby mate, tis all abit chav for me nowdays, would have an RST over that anyday!

Bet you soon as you sell it you'll miss it, having owned it for so long you don't how much you love it!

 

morning danielle

its much than just looks of the car mate... its the whole age thing etc I took my boss out in it the other day,and he says, it goes well, proper quick arent they, these RST's.. then proceeded to say, whats it worth, 500 quid?? i was like.. and the rest ya fooker then moaned as it was bumpy, could smell slight fume, from exhaust tho.... But just made me think..

its cars in general.. im getting bored

hope i'd still be welcome on here tho

and this is more my style...

 

just put some money aside for that rebuild!

 

are they really that prone to rebuilds Lewis?

 

Yup

 

i have one, but just choose to turn it off sometimes

Yes m8!

UI know loads! infact Gar is building 1 @ the mo cause it maelted the plug & valves to the piston!

If u get a jap 1 ur gunna need to get the fuel map sorted!

If u gtet a british 1 then its much better! if u get 1 where ppl have used super all its life then u should b fine! but i know ppl who run them on normal siansburys crap! & they dont last long lol!

Its just a case of buyin a good 1 or buyin 1 with the intensions to rebuild it!

 

cheers Lewis

will look into it closer to the time.. going to keep the rs till after the summer.. few shows, have some more fun, then get rid

 

Me m8 works for scooby so I can find out all the areas to look etc!

 

wicked..is he a dealer? ie get me one cheap

 

He works in the garage! so not a salesmen! but it is a main dealer he worsk for yea

 

nowt wrong with scoobies if they have been looked after - i'm even thinking of getting one for a daily hack in a few months time

 

hope your not just getting one because i am graceland

 

i know where your coming from. just lately i been thinkin the older scoobs look a bit tasty. but it has to be a 3dr! those pics you put up just look would rather own a saph if you want a 4 door saloon!

 

You sick man, leave those children alone!

 

anyone over 22 with an rst should get rid if it imediatley!

you're long overdue westy!

 

nah westy - its a tossup for me between the following cars for use as a daily drive

subaru impretza turbo
BMW 525i SE Touring (2001 model)
toyota hilux pickup


the bmw is in with a good running

 

Exactly Dvae!

I used to think fook me am I really gunna wanna b seen in this in a few years time!

 

fair comment Dave... see what your saying

gracy - bmw all the way chap..

Matt bibs, you think the silver scoob looks gay?? what do you drive chap

 

yeah it does if you sat it next to the 3 dr version. i just think tarted up family car when i see that pic.

id prefer not to comment about what i drive! between fast cars at the mo!

 

westwood - the beemer is definately the best option - purely because i do mega motorway miles, they are excellanty comfy and good for cruising in, have a LOT more status than a 3 series and they are now under the 6k mark for a 2001 model

 

Save up for a WR1

Had one in our convoy to Le Man and they are seriously rapid!!!

Ł24k though

 

just because someone says your cars only worth Ł500 dont mean $hit i get this all the time from boy racers in there new corsas saying that corsas are faster than rs turbos because there newer and got better technology so they dont need a turbo bolted to theres but it dont want me to go out and buy a corsa you could say same thing about a rs500 its only a sierra but if you know its special who gives a t0ss you will get the same thing in the scoob mate they will say its a waist of money and they always blow up cause there tuned high as standard

 

I would def have one of these if i had the money. Was very impressed with it

 

subaru's are shite mate got six mates who own them every single one of them has had a re-build and two of 'em are back in the garage now being taken apart again all this in the last 9 months
buy a saff they're more comfortable (mmmm black leather recaro's) bits are cheaper far far easier to get power out of and you wont lose no money

 

yes, it's very wrong they're shit

 

Fundamentally good cars really, and great value for money.

Dont worry about convoys to ford fair, you can go to jap events in a convoy of scoobies instead, just bear in mind what a large % of the owners are tossers

"All the gear and no idea" seems to be the fairly accurate stereotype of a scooby owner, very few of them know anything about cars, certainly not the way the average cossie owner does.

 

Go for it mate.

I love them - RS Turbos aren't even in the same sport, let alone league.

The only downside to a lot of the Jap stuff, is that the meets and the scene in general are nowhere near as friendly/informative.

 

Absolute cobblers I'm 28, have had my RST for 9 years and still love it. I could if I so wanted to change it tomorrow for a Cossie, Scoob or whatever. I like my RST and I'm happy with it so why change it.

 

because your a fooking adult and still drive a boy racer, kids car!

thats my opinion... lump it

i also think grown men shouldnt have ponytails as well as RST's! ! so double fooking

 

You really do chat some utter drivel don't you. That's MY opinion, lump it!

 

I'm 25 and still got the RST I can't afford a Cossie as well just yet, but maybe in a couple of year's I'll have an Imperial Blue Escort Cossie

Need to change job's 1st tho

 

drivel? i talk sense! id love to know the average age and list of convctions of rst owners!



people must live im completley different scenarios.....

 

AROFLMFAO

 

You talk bollocks! I have no convictions for anything and neither does anybody I know that owns them

You had one a while back as I have the feature on it. How many convictions did you have?
