Have returned full time in to the Scooby world again, have had 4 legacys and a blob wrx in the past, didn't think I'd like the new one tbh but it's passed the test, still own a 97 legacy gt that I have just finished an engine rebuild in my garage, (only took 8 months lol) but this means I am less scared of working on them myself in the future, many owners down the south coast?

I've got one, near Basingstoke. You won't regret it, it's a pretty awesome but of kit. I love mine. Shame I can't drive it, or the RB, for at least 6 weeks. Broke my ankle and elbow on Friday, bummer.

When do you get it? And what colour did you go for?

Gutted for you mate, done my ankle a few years back too!
Pick it up Saturday hopefully, went for blue, loved the test drive and plan a big one myself Sunday!
Out of interest are the new ones named yet ie. Blob bug hawk eye etc?

Haha Gary

Fancy bumping into you again!!

Both done Subarus - a run in VXR8s, and now both back!!

Had my 2015 STI for a couple of months, so sounds like we are going down the same route!!

Alright mate!

It would seem we have gone down the same path lol, remember seeing you had sold the r8 and wondered what I'd be seeing you in now, not seen a new Scooby on the road yet other than the one I've just bought, the amount of cars I have had between scoobies is just plain ridiculous so really hoping going back to them is the best way forward, but to be fair I love it already and am counting the hours till Saturday lol

I heard some people calling them an "evo" eye. Not sure I fancy calling it that, even though it is a bit true.
Only heard out a couple of times, hoping it won't stick and someone comes up with something better, but I think it will.

Seems to be being called Raptor eye in the US!

I've had mine 3 months done 8k in it already and love it! Good choice!
