I replied with .....

I'm really interested as I've never heard of an aluminium Impreza before. It must be super light !!! Does it weigh less than a ton do you think ?
I know the STI came with an alloy bonnet but yours must be some super special edition if the entire shell is alloy.
Thanks for all your help, I'll be watching it very closely.
If you think of any more info that might help me then please let me know.

It's a great car i wish i could keep it...... but he's selling it for a 'friend'.

Another dreamer trying to 'big up' his car. All aluminium chassis must weigh less than a packet of quavers!
