Default My 22B Before she goes into hibernation for a long time

Im putting her in storage for a very long time.

Im not biased but the 22b has got to be the Ultimate Subaru Impreza

Enjoy
















Never mind ive got this to play on track with in the mean time.

Just out of interest, how wil it be stored, and will it really be 15yrs?? if so, it'll be a very rare beast then!! especialy if it survives the storage in as good a condition as it's in now!!

But I would tend to argue the fact about that specific statement!

The car will be inside a building then inside a garage then inside a carcoon on axle stands so the cars suspension hangs down and the wheels are not sat on the ground.

Oil and filter has been changed too.

I cant believe people are asking why im storing this car.

The answer is how many of these will be left in years to come and ive always wished i had saved my cars over the years and this time i have.

Thanks for the comments.

I Understand what your saying.......... 100% totally but cars are to be driven... only my opinion though.

I Would store it and make guest apperances very rare throughout the year.

Oah and the best example i have seen yet.

gorgeous Motor R.B.

i couldn't leave it alone though! - i struggle not to touch my WRX throughout the week, but 50 miles a day to work does put things into perspective from a fuel economy point of view.. hence the mundane motor for Mon-Fri.

incidentally, are you Rob who was helping Scooby-Si out with his car at last years Scooby Shootout - you travelled up in the Discovery????
