700 mile+ round trip. hope its worth it!

[WR1 STB]

hello all. I'm headin off today to get my first scooby. a WR1. It gonna be a bit of a long trip for me so i hope it will be worth the hassle. I have a 1 way ticket so cant come back home without 1. wish me luck!!!

[CAVEMAN]

well, if that doesn't signify serious interest then I don't know what does!

Hope its a good un mate...long way to see a sh$t box...

Having said that though, anything can be replaced/repaired/repainted....just do it and enjoy the new toy. Worry about the rest when your face has stopped aching!

That's a good way to get to know your new car! I hope it turns out to be what you expect. Remember and take a thick wallet for the petrol!

[Ferret WR1]

Where's the car and where are you? Just an idea, could post up a thread kindly asking any member who local to the car and willing to view it on your behave. You could then get initial feedback to gauge if worth the trip.

Anyway Good luck

I bought mine going by a few pictures! Never saw the car until I heard the burble as it turned into my street and it got delivered to my door. Although if I had I would probably have had a few small things I would have asked to get fixed in general though it was just what I expected.

I think buying a car without seeing it is great. have done it last few times. Have never been disappointed yet.

First Real Sphincter ?

[WR1 STB]

hello again. Arrived home late last nite with my new WR1. To answer my question is it worth it? Your damn right it was worth it! This is one fast machine! Ended up getting it for a great price too. A couple of minor faults though that wont be hard to fix like a cracked driving lamp and probably alloys refurb. Bought it in Birmingham from 60 year old who hardly used it. 32000 miles with full Subaru History. Was a bit worried at first as you would expect driving home when i hit long tail backs, stoping and starting in case it was going to overheat or something but oil temp and everything else stayed as it should. Once i hit the open road back up to Scotland lets just say i should not have a licence anymore! Now after my long trip i feel 100% confident with the car. Thanks for all replys

[WR1 Bro]

Don't forget to register the WR1 number, and of course pics.

60 year old with defi's fitted?

[CAVEMAN]

might have another one that ticked the options list for the dials?

Glad you like it mate...another one gone north...there must be loads of them up there now!

[WR1 STB]

There are no defi gages fitted. Was just meaning the temp sensor nxt to the rev limiter. all get signed in with pictures soon. cheers

[WR1 Bro]

Either that, or WR1 STB is overly relying on the dashboard temp dial... which is actually a water temp and is little to no use at all. I've never seen mine move. In fact, I've only ever seen it move on one car and that was a 3000GT about two seconds before it over heated and ejected the coolant water.

[Ferret WR1]

Congrats

[hightower]

cool another one up here in scotland enjoy dude and welcome

[danr55]
