Hi guys,
Thought it was time to introduce myself.
Here's some pictures of my Version 7 wagon, I bought this just over 5 years ago after moving over to New Zealand from Doncaster.
I have done well over 100000kms in it touring around the country and I love it. The engine is pretty stock, just focused on the handling with Tein Fully adjustable suspension, Whiteline swaybars, end links, control arms etc.
I put the sedan front fenders on it too, makes it look a bit more aggressive then the standard ones.
I have also got into motorsport over here too, done quite a few autocross's, track days and the odd hillclimb. I am now on the hunt for a fully committed race car, has i need this one for our new family.
Approximately 22 Sheep per person. 70M Sheep, 3M people. :-p
I love it here!
New Zealand is similar to the UK, except a lot less people and nearly half the country's population live in Auckland, so I tend to avoid going there. Which leaves the rest of the country pretty quiet. Except the odd Earthquake now and then - you get used to it.
Most people I meet here are pretty chilled, kind, generous, and will go out of there way to help you out.
The roads here can be epic, especially on the South Island, its like playing a video game sometimes! Owning a Subaru here is fun! The South Island has a lot less people too, me and the wife once drove for over an hour in the middle of the day on an awesome stretch of road and didn't see one other car!
Hey guys. Subaru New Zealand is holding a competition to celebrate 25 years of the WRX. And it's the last day of voting, i am currently in 1st, but 2nd place is gaining.
Any chance some of you could spare me a minute and vote for my car? If I'm one of the top 25 it will be on display at Leadfoot Festival (the Southern Hemisphere version of the Goodwood Festival). Potentially, one of 5 get to do the hill climb too!
I am currently in the top 4, but the public votes only account to 50% of the vote, the other 50% is done by the judges.
Are those rota grid wheels? They look absolutely brilliant,perfect with that ride height and colour. Nice handling spec as well, something I should consider doing in time. I'm not a massive fan of the bugeye look but this one looks sweet and I quite like the more aggressive look with the fenders as you say.

Yeah man, they're Rota Grids in Hyper Black.
The front fenders do give it the aggressive look, and with those "eye lids" too! I have looked at doing the rear fenders to, but bit more of a bigger job, so not quite yet.
