I'm 36 and just brought my first Impreza (after having wanted to own one since I was a kid, always been my dream car) last year

 

if I pay for a banner, perhaps I can get Miserable Old Git

 

Never too old to start.

Where are you from in Warick, I'm from Brum

 

I'd pay for that...I bet quite a few people would too

 

Joined in 2001, first scoob was a 1998, had four scoobs and a forrester turbo before moving on. Loved every one of them!

Not had a scoob for many. many years ... but still check in very occasionally, loved the community spirit.

 

not too far then. Im just outside Coventry.

 

2009 I joined. only had 1 Subaru a 97 green facelift UK 2000 and out of all my cars I've had, I miss that one. I MOT checked it the other day and it's still going.

 

I’ve noticed that a lot of the old timers on here were active when they bought there Subarus either brand new or a year or two old and have sold them on so there no longer active….

Imagine buying a blobeye uk widetrack brand new…how much were they at the time?

as far as I’m concerned that is the creme de la creme….nothing kept up with them!

 

Still here 68 and still have two Subaru’s

member 25years IIRC

Ruined is Your brain Zany. Bored at hospital?
spec c RA has factory fitted white wheels btw

 

I’m still here aged 64 I’ve got a spec c and a Gtr :-)

 

That definitely happened to the Classics, when values dropped to a certain pricing point.

It was probably around 2007 that I noticed a significant change in people’s attitudes to owners.

Go back to 1999 and Imprezas were both rare and exciting.

 

...and a significant change in owner demographic.

 

I've been here on and off since around 2007 had 5 through that time know running a 2004 t25

 

Very apt post from my perspective, albeit over a few years.. My son turned 18 last year and follows JDM circles.. so dipped my toes back into scooby life, picked up a MY93 WRX Grey Import yesterday.. needs some work..but what better way to spend time with my son and pass down some knowledge and the car.

 

Exactly. Also, classic model Imprezas still offer genuine driving pleasure and the ability to surprise, after 30 years in the case of your car.

I don't drive mine much these days, but time gets reversed when I do. I have found that modern EV drivers expect my 'random old banger' to be easily out-accelerated or to be intimidated to move out of the way. The car lets me become 26 again...

 

Just popping in to ask a question Still no scoob for me ( that time has passed ) but added to the Black Audi A4 S Line a new steed, an Audi RS4 B7 in sprint blue a year ago and loving that one. Now I must go and ask the question I came in here for

 

Still pop in from Time to time. Currently in a 340i 🤨

 

2024 - just where is all the time going!!

 

Not lost ,banned is correct word Zany

 

Haven't owned a Subaru since 2015, but still pop in every now and again.

 

46 and on my 7th Subaru, back to my favourite one, a Forester STi

 

Hello DreamWeaver, long time no see, I still remember your prefacelift FSTi!

 

Still got mine that I bought back in 2005. I pop on here very sporadically.

 

 

Same here - now in an Audi 3 Quattro -- it is just not the same though

P1 in 2000 and had that for 4 years

Scoobless for 1 year !

Had the current wagon for 19 years and still going strong.

I am still here - been on since 2005. Just a shame that there is less and less activity on the forum due to the age of the cars now and people moving on.

Still got my 2003 Sti - took it to Spain 8 years ago - so is living a life without rust!! 😂
