Default Scoobs gone:)

Well the Scoobs gone felt realy sad but it has gone to a good home.Got my self this had it a couple of weeks now all going well never had a large 4x4 so off on a new journey with lots to learn.



Easy to get into and auto just what i need at the moment then wait for it the head cracked not had any choice but to fix it so looks like i will be in the Surf for a while as it has cost ££££££££££ not as much as a rebuild on the scoob but a big dent in my Impreza money(this was going in to a bank account to not be touched).I am sure my luck will change soon and i can get it sorted for jap bash.

Shame to hear about the scoob Wez, and good luck on the new venture, we had a isuzu trooper auto, but got rid of it as it cost us a fortune in fuel, and then we brought another scoob

Great choice mate. I've been thinking about getting a Surf. Loved my old Hilux pick-up

You will miss the scoob, but the Surf will win a place in your heart

Yep love it already like a car to drive.I got it for a very good price the plan was sell one of my bike's to pay for it which i did then save the scoob money for when i can get another one.Anyway it's the 3.0 ssr-x so does have some nice bit's on it rear heaters etc.The 3.0 do not normaly do the heads think i just got a bad one that had been boiled up in the past.I have gone for a complete new head,rad and all the other little bit's(some how a snorkel made it's way on to the list LOL) came to just over a grand which still makes it a cheap Surf lookin at some of the prices.

Nice looking Surf there Wez, handles like a car? myself questions that, unless its based on a 2cv or similar?
I used to have a Toyota Landcruiser 4.2l, 6cyl with 2 inch body lift, 6inch suspension jack, running 34 x 12 inch rubber that got dirty!

Sorry to hear the scoobs gone mate, you got that looking the nuts. But, the reasons are more important.

Good luck mate and don't be a stranger on here.

PMSL @ Scott and agree that there will be a designated powder blue parking spot for you.
