Default FORESTER's stand up and show yourselves

Right i know there is the forester.org and yes i am a member but there are not many users on the Europe side and i am a die hard impreza fan at heart and a previous owner of some tidy examples but i have bought a forester as a workhorse whilst i am looking to get on the property ladder and was wondering how many owners on here have one / use one as an everyday car or even play toy

all are welcome, uk, japs, turbos, sti's

here is your time to show them off, i will get mine up as soon as its clean

cheers

steve
