Good to hear that you had your sensible hat on. Some scooby drivers can be absolute lunatics.

Good story nonetheless.

Sometimes it's just down to who pulls back from the brink first. Throwing a 4WD into a bend is always going to be easier than throwing an S, but I treasure my car too much to see it sat in a hedge, so I tend to be slightly more cautious anyway.

If more people would have a blast where it is safe to do so, smile, wave & not be agressive, we would all have more fun.

I enjoyed the run, and I hadn't seen the performance of the WRX up close before, so it was interesting. I love cars, and enjoy seeing what they can do.

WRX - Good performance - ugly car.

I ashamed to say that I really fancy the wrx sti wr1, the special edition comming out in April. Only 500 being made 320bhp and a special ice blue paintwork without any gold alloys. I just dont know if I could do the rear spoiler thing.

A lot of scooby drivers are absolute kamikazes. My sister has a term for them and calls them "Subaru Morons"

mmmm Scooby's.....trouble is they are getting cheap now so the Chavs get hold of them....their image is becoming very low rent as a result which has to be shame as they do what they do so well

Hopefully a couple may attend Keevil as I'd like to see how the S2000 compares.....in my experience the only encounters I've had with Imprezzas have been a complete non-event

Ah yes. The Chav factor. Maybe that was it. But we were miles away from the nearest MacDonalds

I was following one on the M25 and he shot off cutting people up right from lane 1 to lane 4....a complete and utter knob-end........it's people like that that give Scooby's a bad name

of course the other things is that Scooby pilots believe they are the quickest things on God's Earth....taught one a lesson on the junction 9 M25 roundabout in the damp...he thought he could take me round the outside...

"Sorry sunshine"

Undercutting down the slow lane on motorways......seems to be their fave pastime.
