Yeah I had a crap year last year, I broke 3 ribs at work then chopped the tops of my finger knuckles off with a Stanley knife and had to have a load of stitches in my fingers.

I post more on Flashlight forums than car forums these days, I'm getting old....
I just hope I can post at all after EU's Article 13 grips social media...

Thought I would look at the service book and it’s had 32 services 😉 Twice a year when used as a daily driver and once a year since when used sparingly after being SORNed for 3 years.

This was actually my second SN login, as my IP services provider at the time folded and took my email account and password reset access with them. It was a lurker account anyway as I was just browsing back then.
First post on this account back then in 2001, was to get members on here exclusive parts access to a crashed P1 locally to me.
Those days were totally different to now, and 320bhp from a Sti5 or P1 with an Ecutek remap was a staggering amount for a reliable daily.
First Impreza for me back in 2001 was a V4 TypeR with all the Link, Leda and Defi essentials. Bought from Andy Dorrington on here and probably the best car I ever owned to be fair, and at a time when STI imports were still a rarity.Sold it in 2005, to buy the Twin Scroll car development car from Bob Rawle as I just wanted a newer car.
It was beast at the time and attracted positive attention back when we all used to have regular rolling road days. Those days ended in 2008 when the banking crisis hit and shaky job security prompted me to liquidate some toys.
At the same time as owning the BRD car I ran a Forester STurbo as my daily driver and a second 2.5l X-Ten Forester soon followed the twinscroll car as my wife’s daily in 2009. Both of those foresters were upgrade to Forester STI suspension almost immediately, as they needed it.
The first forester went to another member in 2010 who only parted with it last year and the second sold in 2014 when a new Audi S4 arrived ending my Subaru owning streak.
I have had a few other new and used powerful AWD petrol cars, including a certain Mitsubishi Hatchback with Evo RS AWD running gear that I built in 2010 and still own today and use occasionally on track.
My now grown up sons, often recant how cool they felt turning up at primary school in the Scooby back then, and I have often thought about getting back into a Scooby but haven’t quite made that leap back yet,
