Hi Guys,
Just thought i would check your site as my mate Luke @ plush automotive has been telling me about it.

I currently drive a subaru impreza STi, running 450bhp, but it has been sold and the new owner is picking it up in october  i will then be getting a MK5 golf, then Luke and i are going to start work on it.

Here are a few pics, let me know what you think?

Some of you may ask why i would change from what i have to a MKV? to be honest, i want something thats reliable, nice to drive, something my missus likes and she can drive, also after driving lukes i loved it. The scooby is too impracticle now and purley for show. The golf seems a good choice

W.I.P pics and thread will follow!

I agree the car looks stunning and so do the pics. If your Mk 5 turns out half as good as this it will be something special.  :happy2:
So have you any plans you are willing to reveal yet.  :party:

That must be the Only Scooby ive seen that doesnt have the Normal "Suburu" plastered over it to remind its owner what car it is!!.

The Golf will tick more boxes for you. Welcome along.

Im not normally a fan of scoobys, but that one looks awesome ,especially the interior :happy2:

Well if you hunt for an Edition30 or Pirelli GTi with DSG then get to stage 2+ and you will surprise a few standard STi's  :wink:
