Get a grip and chill out.

If you dont like a specific model fair enough..... but giving it a proper slating when so many people who go on here have them is arrogant and up your own ****.

Shaun.
FOUND IT!!!!!!!

This is what upset Webby so much to give me a telling off on the other thread!! I have been racking my brains as to what I have said that could possibly justify a warning shot from him ................ THIS IS IT!!!!

He doesn't like people saying that they find the Bug-Eye hideous in the styling department ........ well, I'm very sorry - the Bug-Eye, in my opinion, IS HIDEOUS!!! I hate it with a vengence, quite how a whole marques credibility could be destroyed by the launch of a new model is amazing - but it happened when the Bug-Eye was launched!

I was stood at the Subaru stand that fateful day at the Birmingham Motor Show when it was unveiled .......... my jaw hit the floor - I was stood staring at a carbuncle (and I wasn't alone in that opinion!)

So, there we have it, I know that some people on here have them and love them .............. I am VERY happy for them to express an opinion on my cars - I would not start crying and blubbing if someone said that the Classic is a pile of ****e - and that Petes Wagon is the worst of the lot!!! It's their opinion, they are entitled to it on a public BBS and I am not a big girls blouse!!

Thats that sorted ... at least I now know that I didn't hurt anyones feelings!

Pete

Pete,
Assumption is the mother of all F*** ups and you just had triplets.

Don't assume something your brain can not understand.... meaning, the above was not the reason for your public flogging.

Wrong thread and wrong time (I have been to sleep since then..... you obviously have not).

Please remember.... I am Judge Dredd on here (I have a HUUUUGE ego) and you were judged. I am the law so deal with it.

Back on topic please.

Regards,
Shaun.

You also have a TINY ***** to compensate - nature balances all things

Back on topic ... the UK 5-Door Wagon from 1999 or 2000 is THE BEST IMPREZA!!

You are a sad little man aren't you.

Now, am I calling you names as you do for my opinion on your car???

NO I'm not, because I am a REAL man - I don't go in for crying and blubbing and sobbing because some nasty old man from the internet said he didn't like my brooom-broooom!!

Think again who is the sad one ......... here's a hankie dear, there, there, nasty man - you ignore him!!!!

To be fair to my post - I did say 'if the criteria were...xxx'.

I was not definative.

Personally I think as a driver's car the 'best' must be one that is driver focused.

All IMHO of course.

Still the Spec C RA (even though I only have the lowly Spec C).

Saxos are good cars,it's usually the driver that give it the bad image also combined with the body kit of coarse.

Coming from someone who also owns an MX5 I doubt you can call anyone else a REAL man. Weren't MX5's made primarily for women and GAY men.

I think your post count, and the fact that whenever I come on here, you've posted something far from constructive (and no, not just about bugeyes - boo hoo), speak for themselves as to who's the sad one


Anyway, back on topic, for me it's a tough call between the 22b and the WR1

You clearly struggle with your sexuality, I am at peace with mine .... hence I can own and drive one of the best cars ever made and you are too scared to experience it ..................... because of what others might think!!

One word for you - 'PATHETIC'

wether you drive a classic or a hawk eye they are all good in there own areas imho the 99/2000 classic wins on styling and is a good handling and delivering car but as is human nature we better things ok the bug eye does not look as good but it is a better car chassis engine interior all have been improved ok they are heavier but they are a good car the bob eye is a better car and the hawk eye is better again the best all round car is tbh all of them as for model if you like jdm then the sti 6 type r is my fav
uk then that would have to be the p1
all this is down to personal opinion i love the wr1 gr8 car but i prefer the p1
the 22b is rare but not the best i have driven all the above and they all made me smile so lets just love them for what they do

It is, quite simply, different for every person!

The best Impreza to my mind is a 5-Door, Classic, UK Car, from the years 1999 or 2000 ....................... it beats any of the 2-door coupes for sheer practicality, whilst delivering the same 'real world' performance!!

To think otherwise is folly!

Pete
What's that 4-Door, Classic, UK Car, from the years 1999 or 2000? Grey one?

Yeah I'd agree with that, fantastic colour and one of the best limited editions around.

Also has a a great club following from its owners.
