Totally agree with this, bad drills when you have clearly been a good customer of his.

Have your bank been in contact reporting a sudden change in outgoings now the Subaru has gone? You need to rectify this asap.

I'd love to build a 3 door classic type R at some point. Always love them. Trying to find a good classic now not riddled with rust is going to be an issue.

Speaking of itches - ever since the Classic left me 10 months ago, I've had the need for a little scratch. The new ride isn't Subaru, but its a lot more comfortable, can easily cover miles without deafening the driver, corners nicely, will move when you put your foot down, and is better on the gas! But it doesn't have the burble, power surge from the turbo, or the drop a gear and go. No 4wd either. If only Subaru invested in their 2.0l turbo lump to get a few more mpgs, hps, lb/fts out of it...

They did, it's called the FA20. Direct injection version of the EJ20 basically, but no burble.
