STI's gone,but it's replacement(s) here!!
Well,if anyone read my last thread on here,they will know the problems i had with my last Impreza,and i have to say,it turned me off cars briefly,so i went out and bought a LWB Isuzu Trooper 3.0TD,which i have to say i am pretty pleased with overall.It's comfortable,economical(compared with a PPP'd STI) and it will tow a jet-ski if i eventually decide to buy one!!
However,the story does not end there,
As i say,i was turned off cars briefly (it lasted 2 weeks
),and on Saturday i had the whole day away from the wife and kids to spend rekindelling my love affair with driving,so the first car i went to have a look at i thought i wouldn't like,but as soon as i pulled up at the guy's house i told myself i would have a new car by the end of the day...............and i did,and i love it.It's in my favourite colour(for one of these),it goes well enough,handles like a rollerskate,will do 40mpg,and has a soft top (i do like a convertible this time of year - it was an E46 M3 convertible,then an Ariel Atom last year).
Any (sensible) guesses?

Cheeky ba***rd...........................although i have had one,and did consider another,the handling is brilliant on them!!
Also looked at an SLK(and i am married with kids before there are any references to my sexuality
),it was good but boring,and more of a tourer than a drivers car.And i wanted to drive an MR2 Roadster,but the Elise was the first car i had booked to look at,and i am glad it was.............lovin' it.

I have wanted one for years,but don't have anywhere to keep it unless i pay for storage,and it all gets bloody expensive then.However,the driveway currently has space to keep it,if i put it behind the minibus,my wifes new Pug 107,the Trooper and the Elise
