What next? Yes I'm asking for a spec me.

Well in the flesh the V70R looks lovely.

Sleek, nice wheels, good looking calipers.

A viable alternative to the other fast estates, especially as you can get the 340bhp upgrade too.

Keep the Scoob and move house to a decent area

Problem solved.

Little bit of hassle there though no?

Ok I've got quite a varied list of cars that I would like to try, some practical, some not. Decided ICT equip isn't a major, so long as I can get odds and sods in lol.

Audi S3 and S4 - Both quite moddable, if a bit dull as standard
BMW M3 E36 - Sexeh
Honda S2000 - Seems to be ok, need to go for a proper drive of one to appreciate I think
Mazda MX5 - Turbo'd or supercharged - Sounds like massive giggles
Nissan 350Z - Fast, awesome sound
Subaru Legacy and Forester(Various models) - Less wanted version of my car
VW Golf R32 - Quite quick, awesome sound

Insurance for the 350Z is more than the STi though, quite a bit more !
Any more suggestions?

What an odd list - you've got £15k cars and £5k cars on it, is there a reason or do you not really have a budget in mind?

ScoobyDoo69 · 9 Jul 2008 at 22:37

Not really, more stuff that interests me to be honest. They impress me on initial specs but how some of them drive I don't know, MX5 is only there due to the rave reviews they get on here when FI'd. Forgot to add Mitsubishi Galant to that list, but they're all imports I think ?

Axeboy · 9 Jul 2008 at 22:38

Galant vr4 had 200 official imports through dealers, ie UK cars.

Cracking cars

I'll be interested into how you compare the M3 to the scoob.

Having only driven a P1 to compare it to the e36 M3 evo (so won't be quite the same comparison), I found the scoob to be a bit boring. Awesomly fast, and huge amounts of grip, but the M3 was more fun to have a hoon in

ScoobyDoo69 · 9 Jul 2008 at 22:43

I much prefered my STi over the P1, P1 was very prone to understeer, or just go around the corner under power, the STi was nice and tail happy under power

Jackers are after 4 doors, surely?
Scoob TypeR?

There have been similarly huge problems with Audi RS4's and BMW M5's. I guess anything you can fit 5 scumbags and a boot full of stolen crap into and then leave the scene pronto.

But how many RS4s and M5s do you see in comparison to Scoobs?
I see a dozen Scoobs per day but it's been weeks since I saw an M5/RS4

Scoobs tick all the boxes, *plus* there's plenty of them, hence why they're top of the list (by quite a long way apparently)

ScoobyDoo69 · 9 Jul 2008 at 23:36

Yeah police reckon its a pretty much no1 targetted car, unless they're into stealing luxury cars to order..

I thought according to OcUK M5's were 'everywhere'
