I'm sure Paul talked abuot starting a car thread but I couldn't seem to find one (not looking hard enough maybe:?: )
Anyway I was rummaging around modified cars (again) and I stumbled across my old fav pre-modded cars the Scion. Not great cars from what I remember but they do offer modification, but only in america sadly iirc :(
So I saw this, and thought WTF!

And yes it does fold away neatly in to the boot :D
I still really like their cars based on their looks alone, they can be tricked out really nicely and look great

Must admit Subaru have a great deal on at present - £3000 Free Fuel (http://www.freefuel.subaru.co.uk/index.html) and their new front end and wheel arches make the new Sti look a very attractive package imo
Great Quote
0-62 mph in a phenomenal 5.4 seconds, leaving the Mitsubishi Evo VIII 260, the Nissan 350Z V6 GT, the Volvo S60 T5 Sport and the BMW 330i M Sport in the dust

You could always have yourself one of these (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17615887) for £40k... :D
Yeh the subaru is finally looking good, there were a few versions that didnt look quite so agressive as the older ones.

I saw a classic scooby, looked like a P1 or something similar on the M1 the other week, fully kitted out..... with roof rack and telescopic ladder, I have heard of some fast works cars in my time but that takes the cake.
I remember a test Top Gear Magazine did of the Scooby, Evo 7 I think and Skyline. I just sat there a drooled, always a sucker for the Skyline.

Watercooling and car porn.
Ambassador, with these pictures you are spoiling us.
On a more serious side, how come you're selling? It's not to go to the dark side is it? (Mitsubishi)

I think it only right we have a heads up on what Sc0rians been up to ;)
Some may of noticed he's not been around as much for the last couple of month but i have to say for good reason.
Poor guy has been doing 12+ hour days, 7 days a week working on his mk2 conversion 1.6 but its more than paid off imo
>>link to blood sweat and tears work log<< (http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50469&st=0) for those who want to check his progress (hope he doesn't mind)
Sc0rians pride and joy...
