Not being funny but yours looked a decent 'specimen' as well.
I've seen your car a couple of times I have to say, it's a beauty. I'm on my third Impreza now since I had the pleasure of test driving one in 2005. I've had my white one for 3 years now and it's currently in it's third change. I got bored of the black and white look that I'd began with, so I had my wheels powdercoated green. When the wheels startded to show signs of wear (pitting from brake dust, due to my poor maintenance) I decided that I'd change the colour again. I only changed my wheel colour because I was fed up of all the Subarus that had dark wheels and felt the need to be different. I live up sunny Trinant by the way

Sorry, should have explained better.

You did the decent thing and waved, they didn't.
They lose out mate, not you.

Just keep doing the 'done thing'.
And as you'll see from this thread, come to Aber/Crumlin/Pontypool and we'll guarantee you a wave back.

Hi again.

Was it you who beeped me yesterday, around 4 as I was on my way to the speed camera?

If it was, thanks - and I'll look out for you.

And the offer stands - the pilot's seat is yours if and when you want.

If that's the case it's obviously 'our' Newbridge.

Do you come down the A467 around 4:30 every afternoon?
Blue one.

If so, I've waved a few times as well.
And 'er in the passenger seat has said "well they haven't waved back".

If it is you, PLEASE wave, otherwise she'll think I'm telling porkies, especially after the 'black lady' a few days ago.

I always wave at other Impreza drivers and often get a wave back. But I also wave at Evo’s Skylines and any other interesting car I encounter on the roads even if it’s a ‘Barry Boy’.

An interest in cars is the glue that unites us all and with the never ending assault on the motorist by ‘Climate-conscious’ governments we need to stick together.

So keep waving I say and if people don’t feel like waving back, they are –as Dai said – the losers.

I drive a Peugeot 106. 1124cc. Flying machine. Well not quite but it is quicker than my wife's 1400cc Fiesta..

I have long realised that its more economical to run a Peugeot 106 and an Impreza than just running an Impreza alone.

But I have to say that I am endlessly harrassed by other road users when i am in the Pug. They seem to have no patience with me.

I know small cars are usually targetted and I have had several small cars over the years. But there is something about my current one that other motorists don't like. Maybe its because it is red???

I am constantly tailgated, carved up and if I go to over take I am retaken by the person I just overtook. People seem to just pull out in fornt of me causing me to slow abruptly... I could go on.

Or maybe its all in my head.

If it was a blob was me, there was a "lovely" policeman that was close behind. Then from blackpill, he thought it would be fun to stick to my rear bumper all the way to my house It was the slowest drive home ever

Hello bwyty.

No, I live at altitude in Abertillery.

T20 Hawk, WRC blue as any self-respecting Subaru would be.

OK, OK, joking apart, Obsidian Black and Red are absolutely fab colours.

Drop me a pm and we can swap cars ( and possibly garages ) for an hour or so if you want.

Black blob sti with sna22y private plate cruising around Abertillery around 2pm today.

I say cruising because it was a) going quite slow; and b) doubled back on itself only to head towards Cwmtillery again on the other road.
