Scooby as a daily shed - Talk me out of it

I think you should get a nice silver standard impreza turbo from about 2004

Picked up the new car tonight, pics up tomorrow

[campbell]

argh, come on, is there still an ad up, show us now!

[Sanjøy]

is it supercharged?

[campbell]

is it supercharged?

Interesting question. No, not if it's a shcoob.

Meant to say Kenny, there's a bugeye buying guide in this week's Autocar. Still need it?!

only having 3 years no claims on this car (9 on the Exige)

Who have you got the Exige insured with? I'm through Henderson Taylor and when I got my winter shed they mirrored my Exige NCB and released it so I could use it on the shed - I did have to pay for the privilege though

Exige is insured with REIS, Admiral came in with a stonking quote for both on their multicar policy, at least I think they did, the hyper chirpy American girl on the phone wasn't easy on the ears but I didnt want to lose the trackday cover with REIS. Car is insured with Keith Michaels who have a deal with SIDC, best quote by miles.

Car picked up last night, it's an unmodified 2004 WRX, very happy with it. 100 miles done today and used less than a quarter of a tank.

crappy iphone pic till I get better ones.

I think its what turbo cars do. The Evo is the same. It'll get almost 100 miles on a quarter tank and then drops like a stone. 150 miles half tank 200 miles quarter tank and 210 miles light on. That's with motorway cruising mind you.

Our Seat Leon Cupra does similar. 75 miles and it still looks pretty much full. 275 miles near empty

I always assumed this was more to do with having a linear fuel depth gauge on a tank which was wider at the top than the bottom.

Paging Dr Iddon. Dr Iddon to the speculation ward please.
