Things have been quite quiet regarding my Impreza. Its a nice one so I try to look after it. Part of that care involves keeping me out the drivers seat, lol!
Anyway, it threw a tantrum as the Forester was being given all the attention! On a 'spirited' drive from one side of Scotland to the other it developed a mysterious but obvious misfire. Fearing the worst I parked it up for a week and convinved myself it would probably be something expensive and time consuming. Then I plucked up the courage and had a look...




Spark plug lead No.1 had fallen off. Sometimes I just dont get the Imprezas sense of humour!

Living the 'Rock star mechanic' lifestyle I do, on a run to Tesco I noticed the familiar Scooby burble was a bit louder than usual, by the time I got to Tesco birds were flying out trees, kids were crying and I had just about gone deaf!




Quite a convincing break there! Cheap uppipe fitted when I had the engine out. Got one with a guarantee from Scoobyworld




Anyone thats replaced one of these with the egine in will testify its like being a midwife in reverse!




Impreza even made a friend at work!




Booked up to go to Japan classic Sunday in the Netherlands in July so need to start getting it ready for that soon....

Update!
Never made Scoobyfest as Post office chose to deliver my new clutch cylinder the Monday after the show!
Fitted now though...

Despite missing Scoobyfest, 4 hours drive from my house I managed to get to Japan Classic Sunday in the Netherlands. Which could have been a great show if the weather hadnt become so Scottish...

Not surprisingly, it wasnt the best turnout, still managed to snap a few other Scoobys...

Excellent. I love to be able to go over to Europe for car meets, just too far away.

Treated Mrs. Delux to a chippy tonight. Took the Impreza to blow away the cobwebs. Spotted a great photo opportunity...

Must be the 1st time a local resident has appreciated having a natural gas plant on their doorstep!
