Followed a bug wagon from A1079 to A64 sliproad years ago, I was in a punto hgt and moving swiftly....it disappeared, never to be seen until the next day when it happened again

 

From watching the WRC with my dad when i was a 8 year old boy, at the time the sonic blue, gold wheels and decals drew my attention and kept on saying how when i was older i would have one. 20 years later my view on gold wheels and decals may have changed but the appeal is still there

 

After selling my 3000GT, I was after either a skyline r34 or a scooby, and sat in my mate classic sti, and it won me over with the burble roaring from the exhaust! And now selling up lol

 

what got me was the sound and how quick they are. but always wanted to own a turbo car in my life time lol

 

What else has the looks and power of nice clean Classic for the money

 

always had fast cars and wanted a faster 1 regret it now though nothing but hassle

 

What did u have before??? What would u choose now?

 

What Impreza do you own?

 

My Dad got himself a Subaru 1800gl back in 1992 and thats when it started. He had it for 8 years and only retired it after it became too rotten to get through an MOT. In that time my mum had 3 or 4 pre Legacy 2L estates and I remember being about 7 years old and going to Rivvett Autos and seeing my First Impreza and from that moment I knew I had to have one. Spent many years then watching WRC and dreaming, then when I turned 20 and after owning 3 Justys, a mate of mine told me of someone who he knew was selling one so I went and bought it. Still have it now but I was young, stupid and didn't know much about the mods you could safely use on my car and it blew up so it currently sits with a big gap in the engine bay. Luckily I've had another and I now have my Forester.

 

[QUOTE=chocolate_o_brian;10941599]What Impreza do you own?

started off when i was 17 with a s1 rs turbo then went through 8 other fiesta and escort turbos,had an mr2 turbo,calibra turbo,2 x wrx,s and now have a p1

incase your wondering how old i am born 78

 

It helped me find my inner chav....

 

Loved watching the RAC rally on the tele back in the late eighties, through to the mid nineties. Of course that meant watching McRae in his Group A Impreza in the latter years. I was only 18 when he won in '95 though, so they were well out of my league at the time.

Then in '99 I tried to keep up with a red one in my Rover Coupe Turbo, which was no slouch. It disappeared in a flash and I knew I needed one of those!

Finally bought one in '03 and I've had it ever since, albeit as a second car since '04.

 

not sure what id go for next m8,think id like a gtr? maybe try and fq400 with a descent remap?

see your from manchester i used to live up there got a lot of family around sale

 

1 of my old scoobs lol

 

I always wanted an Evo as a kid.....them things are so god damn expensive 2nd had compared to a Scooby!!! This is my 3rd Subaru and I don't see my self switchin sides.
Yea mate Ashton Under Lyne way....I get round Sale quite alot in my Job (coach driver)

 

My friend had a 1994 wrx and I just remember the burble as it pulled up or drove off it must have been 12 years ago now, I remember the first time I drove it hit 80 in a blink of an eye and I was hooked from that day I needed a flatty in my life. I've been toying with evos and subarus for quiet some time now and I always come back to the Impreza.

 

U Bully what did she ever do to u

 

lol it was the jag who pulled out in front of me i do like the scoob when its working my bro has had 2 evos ans seeing thry only made 100 fq400s thought it may be worth a play? you can pick them up for around 16k ive wasted 45k on the p1

 

Mate thats Gawjus.....I get what your sayin about the evo but noway do they stand out for what they are like the p1!!! I know if I said to the Mrs i'm gettin a p1 she would know what I meant if I said f1400 she wouldn't av a clue lol. Plus do evo drivers have a great comunity based forum like us good old Subaru drivers haha

 

cheers m8 yeah not to sure about the evo community maybe 1 day ill find out? who knows i may just spend another 6k on the p1 and take it up to 550bhp or i may just get it crushed and make a coffee table out of it

Wanted a car that made me smile, that i'd look forward to getting into, something that was iconic, stood out from the crowd, made me feel proud to call mine..............and p*ss over all the boy racers and BMW drivers that like to sit right on your ar*e.

Where you now.....oh I can just about see a small spec in my rear view mirror

 

BMW sat up ur ar*e....haha they wish they could get that close
Your rite tho I feel proud everytime I see my car puts a BIG smile on my face

 

I usually find in traffic they like to sit right there. Once the traffic clears it a case of 'Gotcha'

I'm feckin 50 years old and if I know I'm going out in the car the next day I don't sleep properly and usually up very early. For me now it's like Christmas Day every time I take it out.

I grow old but I will NOT grow up!

 

Mines my everyday drive so everydays like xmas haha
