Default My Impreza story :) .. not very long (oo er misses)

Ok, so I'm 21 and I want an Impreza ... you had to be 23 then to insure a Turbo .. so I bought this ..









First things I get was get a new exhaust and a better wing ..





Then the wheels ..





Then I decided I wanted it to look like a Turbo ..














and then it looked like this ..







but ... it wasn't a turbo, so on my 23rd Birthday .. I bought this ..





but sadly I got a squeak in the back wheel and put it into a "garage" to be repaired, whilst it was there, this happened ..







but luckily the insurance paid out and I am now driving this 303BHP monster ..





and in the middle of all that.. I owned one of these for fun

Worth the wait, and now you have the best colour

I know exactly were you are from those pics too, I used go out with a girl who lived just up the road and my folks are in Wallasey Village, my outlaws are not far from the prom pics either. BTW. you still have the green turbo in the drive in the google street view

I think they tried the 'bash the **** outta it' technique to remove the squeek.

Cool thread

Plenty of pics there. I can pretty much place where all of them are.

I remember you going to the Butty Bar Cafe on Seaview Road in your green turbo when I first got my Scooby. I lived opposite and heard your car before I saw it
