About by 2008 if the front scoop keeps growing as it does each new version it will be so large that rock bands will be using it for concerts![]()

Aha! (Overly eager Impreza owner jumps in)
The scoop is on its way out. If you look at the new generation rally cars they've repositioned the intercooler to the front of the car because the scoop generates too much aerodynamic lift and hence the scoop is massively reduced in its crowd capacity.
The only Uk Impreza which doesn't generate lift at high speed is the P1 because it has the massive front skirt and splitter which work with the silly whale fin at the back of the car negating the lift caused by the scoop which happens on all the other Scoobies.
On the latest rally Impreza they've adopted the Evo approach of splitting the air, with the top portion going through the radiator/intercooler and out through vents in the bonnet.
Here endeth the lesson
Oh, and sniff petrol is excellent, as is the author's new column in Evo magazine.

I'd have thought having you in it would be enought to negate any lift anyway

If you mean "any twat can get it from point to point at warp 9" then no, my S isn't fast
When I was looking for a family car a couple of years ago I test dove a WRX imprezza and I've never driven a more tedious quick car. Yes it was quick, yes it handled well, no it needed no skill whatsoever, yes it was pig ugly... I was bored senseless after 10 minutes. All of the above meant in a humourous way with no offence intended whatsoever
Regards,
Mark
Edited to say: my soon to be departing carlton auto is actually more tedious than the wrx but not by much.

to much, eh?
I dont even remember doing that! sure i had a point to make but its probably a crap one anyway. Better have a look for other posts that I have typed while slightly tipsey. Ifanyone sees any, give me a shout.
Thought his column in EVO was ok, in a mildly amusing sort of way, but not yet a "can't hold back the wee for laughing" column. Rich...

p.s. anyone else beginging to get irritated these guys banging on about themselves and how evo they all are. This months edition almost made me puke. All that nonsense about them all going for a jolly up to the Yorkshire Dales, I don't give a stuff about them I want to read about cars. Not what time the alarm on Meaden's Rolex went off and how David Yu couldn't find his RayBans 'cos Barker had knicked them since he'd stuffed his Oakleys up his arse at at the evo towers Xmas bash etc. etc. yawn...
