I dont think all scoobys have been thrashed to within an inch of their lives Skruntie. They are a very quick car, and it wouldnt be easy to do that unless it was used for a lot of track days.
Afaik they are very well built and can take some serious stick.
If you want to buy something that you can push to its limits on public roads, than imo its the wrong car. Simply because if your pushing a Scooby to its limits you will be going very quickly indeed, and would be in the realms of a spell at her maj,s pleasure if you get nicked.

[Mr Skrunts]

This would be a tempting car, especialy as they are 280 BHP and 4WD, down side is group21 ins.

Totally agree with you on the Scooby, plus the it cant be tested, and wouldnt want to test a car with the timing out out (If that what he thiks it is)

Ford looks interesting, not a fan of them, but if it had been with in 25 miles od me I would have gone and had a look.

what about a nice Mitsubishi 3000GT? 4wd, 4ws, twin turbo - i'd imagine money pit doesnt begin to describe the running costs, but mid-90's mk2s are getting very cheap these days

Fits the bill parformance wise, but not practical if compared to a Legnum VR4

Even one of the Sigma range had all the same kit IIRC

[Mr Skrunts]

In fact something unasuming like a Fiat Panda 4x4 but with Fiat Uno Turbo perforce would be ideal fun for this weather.

Whats the budget then?

[Mr Skrunts]

Whats the budget then?

how much money available ?

Had earmarked some cash looking for a nice 3.2 Estate late model low miles Elite etc.

So was gonna use some of that.

Originally no more than a grand, then when the cheap scubby showed up it got me thinking so upped ot to £1500 but quickly realised I might end up buying a money pit.


Pf all the FWD cars I have driven only 2 have left me with the thought of ever having annother and that was a 1000cc mini, it was just so much fun, and the other was a 1.9GTi 205 that was just rapid even though all FWD cars torque steer I would put up with either just for the fun elemnrt as it wont be a repalcemnrt for the Elite.

Just thought, the most impressive car was a FWD Honda Prelude with 4WS, that was wicked and a joy to drive.

Meant to ask where are you based?

This is a real bit of motoring history.

Different, if it were local I would have a test drive in that.

Down side is it's 18 years old and I hate white car's.  But as I said would consider looking at it.
