Mind you - doesnt matter how many miles it has done - still nearly 20 years old now the interior!!!
I am lucky enough that the trim in mine is leather, so should be easy to match. I guess your problem will be finding the right cloth pattern to match.
DOH! I feel for you.
My biggest irritation is the door cards on mine - the seats I can deal with, but I am still at a loss as to how to re-do the cards
Never mind

i love listening to all these people who are so blinkered by there badges ffs we all love our cars for there own reasons what one person wants from a car the other dosnt, this dosnt mean we should slate the fook out someone or there pride and joy i personally am not keen on scoobies and would prefer a skyline or evo but the reason i dont like scoobies as there noise they make i couldnt live with day to day and im not keen on there looks imo!
i never had a proper play with a scoob had a few blasts with some of the uk spec turbos (im not to up with scoobie models) and they didnt seem that quick i was in my leon cupra r (265BHP) and once in my ERST (201BHP) they sound alot faster then they are but i certainly know how well they can be tunned and how well thy handle (like most 4wd jap beasties)
the only time i ever tried to have a little blast with a scooby in my saph cossie was going to halfway house and then i nearly ended up in the back of nil7717 missues car cossie coz some noob in a people carryer pulled out in front of us lol that will teach me
p.s the scooby owners over on sb are a little harsh but pealse dnot salte me for my bad seplilng or ptnutuaoin hehe

Cant belive what a set of cunts there being makes me a bit ashamed of owning a scoob, BUT ive seen the same thing happen on here when somone says thay have beaten a escos ect so no sympathy for either side really.
Also the GC8 guy off scoobynet seems like a right childish twat.

Throw enough money at anything, and it will beat anything! To be fair, when I am beaten, I want to know everything about what beat me. In particular - what can I learn. How can I improve!!!
Know your enemy!

being beaten doesn't bother me it don't happen very often and most of the time its down to me not having the balls to take my car to its limits but she puts a fucking big grin on my face when i boot it and an even bigger grin when i tackle a wet roundabout
plus when im driving thro town in it it gets more looks than a Scobaru because you don't often see a 3dr cossie whereas Scoobies are more common

FFS anyone would think you had posted on the Veyron owners club website.
They are just a turbocharged saloon, like everything else these days. who cares ? What goes faster? Whichever you throw more money at.
God forbid anyone consider the Scooby anything less than perfect. Let us not forget that this is the XR3i of this generation.
4X4 and a turbo - WOW - my hero - FFS

SO true, great cars, but not nearly as great as scoobynet think they are, at least on here most people are realistic, thats what makes PF one of the best sites on the net IMHO

I would much sooner be on a forum where people actually have a good level of understanding and realism about the relative performance of cars than on one where peopel say "car X" is awesome, nothing else can compete, and then stick to that no matter what evidence they see to the contrary.
I personally agree with everything MADrod has posted in here, what most of you dumb fucks telling him he should have a passion for fords dont seem to realise is that he DOES have a passion for fords, more so than just about anyone else on this site, you only have to look at the amount invested in his car to see that (and Rod is not as rich as people assume he is, his car isnt just something bought with a few spare quid lieing around, it represents a very very large portion of his disposable income for a long period of time more so than most people on here, and he is older than most of your fathers and STILL has a passion for his ford even at that time in his life)
BUT his passion does not blind him, he doesnt want a scooby, cause he is far too into his ford, but that doesnt mean he cant acknoledge they are better cars with more potential due to the fact that when development stopped on the cosworth (which was actually the late 1980's realistically when the 4wd saph came out, very little has REALLY changed since, even the escort is barely any difference mechanically, and the last of those was made well over a decade ago now too)
Im of the same opinion as Rod is, for what ive spent on my 3door i know for a fact that i could have bought an evo or scooby that is a much better all round car in every performance respect, the reason i didnt though, is everytime i pull the 3door out of the garage it makes me smile cause its the fullfillment of an ambition of 20 years or more since i first wanted one as a schoolboy.
Its possible to have Passion WITHOUT having blinkers.

Seems more and more on here that unless your RS wears the Cossie badge you aren't deemed worthy 
I'm proud to own and drive my two RST's I know my mates old tweeked WRX couldn't touch it in a straight line. He nailed me in the turns but then his WRX wasn't stock in that department and bearing in mind the 10 year time gap between the cars development wise I don't feel that 's an embarrasment.
Mine also melted and fucked up a Hell of a lot less often than his.
Even some of the ScoobyNet users were able to turn round and say the responses were... well.... shite, and did nothing to promote their marque.
