drove my mates bugeye the weekend before and just fell in love with it.

I was planning a Type R Impreza but really really like the bugeye.

Very marmite motor if that makes sense - You either love it or hate it (The bugeye)

Looks nice mate, nothing wrong with travelling for the right motor is there !!

I take it it was a quick wash off the motor after thetrip back up for the actual show ??!!

wished I had known about the show as I would have probably popped up, saying that from your picture there does not really look a lot there unless that hall was a lot bigger than it looks ??!!

Nice looking car mate, Bugeyes are my top Impreza too. I might even think about swapping the barn find UK2000 for one soon.

The knock formt he rear is probably the rear shocks, prone to this on newage apparently.

Looking good Conner, a long way from your non turbo classic!
