Default The Subaru has now gone!!

My Subaru has now gone, it was sold to a young chap from Portsmouth so its unlikely you will see it again. He came up to see it on Sunday and collected it last night.

But just because I don't have a Scooby anymore doesn't mean that you will be getting rid of me I am afraid!! I am sure I will see you at the Lodge/Halfway House now and again to take some abuse from you lot

Depends if we invite you or not

Glad you were able to sell the car, seeing that no one seems to be able to shift anything at the mo.

What are you getting in it's place?

Thanks for the offer Spally, but if I had the money I would've bought Nick's one, I prefer classics besides, I've got Route 66 to save up for

I give it 6 months and you'll be back, mind you the focarse is more suited to your 'driving miss daisy' style

Be careful though, that 145lb torque can catch you out, indeed sometimes on full lock, in frosty conditions, it even spins a wheel.

Not to mention the EU friendly bonnet design which will guide bins over the car rather than under or around

Glad you got a sale Nick, twas a lovely example of an early classic

Cor, I didn't know Ford done extras!! Has it got the fuel cap latch INSIDE the car?!!! Ah, but I bet the indicators are on the wrong side of the steering wheel!!

Well done with the sale mate, You'll have to put your private plate on it, so as we can all tell that its YOU waving frantically at us!!
