We are getting quite an old bunch of mature enthuiasts.

I can see a future business venture here, think i,ll keep the black wagon and convert it into a stiff shifter.

Been on since 2000
over the 50+

Still have the Greenwagon after 17 and a half years
Going through a big restoration over the last couple of years

No club left in Cumbria but our B-SPOC club is going strong with a variety of marques and owners

There is occasional meets in the north east

Look on here maybe once a week but everything scooby wise had been discussed over the years

2009 STI and the chocolate pistons finished Subaru off on this country
Now you might see an odd Subaru in a Sunday afternoon

I am still here, 57 and got my 340R. First Scooby in 1997 and a constant owner since.

You realize the dealers are doing a final edition WRX STi shortly?? 6 pot brakes and Recaro seats and will be numbered.

What next .............

Originally joined in 2004 with a WRX wagon and rejoined last year with another Subaru (facelift Forester XT).

I was afraid all the good guys had gone, but judging by this lot and some of the regulars, there is life in the old dog yet

Had mine from new, 1998, joined in 2002.

And I'm 65 .

But I tend not to post so much in the help sections now as I just got fed up of being shouted down by younger members who were certain that whatever they were suggesting would be fine because, and I quote: " IT worked really well on my RS Turbo".

They also seem to think that because I was opposed to certain things which are understood to be damaging to the Impreza engine, I was saying so because, and I quote again: "He's one of the oldies, he just doesn't want you/us to have any fun".

Seriously, life is too short to argue with morons like that.
Pretty much why I've retired from the Brexit debate too

Only here since 2010, but am an immature 52, having had a blob sl wagon, a mkIV Legacy, and now a jdm hatch. It's awd for me, smile factor whatever the weather, and not being in a run of the mill car. SN still gives good info; in the hatch and saloons Don is a legend, and it's good that some of the more obnoxious trolls have quietened down.

Never posted much, but been here since probably 2002... still got my "one careful owner" 2003 wrx, but I think it's fair to say it's not quite standard any more... not sure if I've improved it or not, but hey ho.

Nice to see that not everyone has moved to Facebook
