I LOVE the 555 replica Scooby's - expecially the roof scoop! I remember the Colin McRae edition - I definitely liked that one, too. The new WRXs are definitely 'tamed' somewhat - when you look at the original ones I still think they look amazing....

When I collected the car from Oxford they told me it was a McRae Ltd edition.

On the seats they have the world championshuip embossed on them.

So have I got a LTD edition 555 or is it Mcrae ?? I have checked the log and only says WRX. Loooked under the engine no suprises there all in Japanese

[acrscotland]

I stand to be corrected but I thought the McRae edition only came in dark blue. It has McRae edition stickers on it....

No good mate I can't view the pictures, Apparently Japan cars were given better spec early 16's instead of 15's Proper bucket seats and not that vinyl sh#t they used to have. European Mcrae had Recaro seats with fish net headrests.

I have looked into it but never seem to be able to give me the answer.

I also read a Haynes All about Scooyb's and that only mentioned loads of special edition have been launched and this was normally an annual thing

The books does mention that there was 1000 made to commerate the Mcrae win and the constructers championship in 1995.

500 were made in Blue and 500 made in white my has Ltd Edition Number 137.

Guys I am going to have to get the internet sorted at home.

I am always getting access declined access to any decent websites. I get trusted to run a multi million pound campaign but not use the net WTF

Anyway Rant over what do you think about the graphics ??:redfa

[acrscotland]

I've never been a massive fan of graphics but having said that, if it's tastefully done it would look pretty cool. For example, all those 555 editions look great! Do you have images of what you're aiming for?

What do you do for a living? I'm in software....
