Massive thanks to Dylan for going with me and checking it over and putting up with all my questions :) I looked at one up in Yorkshire and was gonna pick that one up but rang the DVLA about the tax and they said it was in the £450 bracket :freak3: Apparently if you contest it then they will change it!!

It's a completely different car to my Blobeye and I loves it :D :D It's immaculate, worth every penny of what I paid for it and all the fuel up and back !! :thumb:

As i said Merv, anytime, it was a nice trip. Hope my driving didn't scare you. But i do hate middle lane hoggers and people who think its totally acceptable to leave there full beam on after you pass them??

She is a very clean example and no doubt she'll be kept mint with you!!!!

Hopefully it'll be right for a wee while at least Jon!! But yes, a 2.1 will most probably be the order of the day in the end :norty:

Enginewise it's got a full decat, 7b plugs, induction kit and been remapped !! Probably around 320-330ish bhp!! :)

Cheers Rob, you can get them from Subaru at the cost of a small country :freak3: just need a P1 chassis number! To be honest, it's a bloody good fit and looks the nuts!! :) It's been well looked after so I'm a very happy bunny !!

DannyBoy007 24 January 2011 09:05 AM

I was only looking at that advert yesturday.

A very nice looking car and in the fastest colour too!!!!

Cannon Fodder 24 January 2011 09:31 AM

Nice car Merv, I bet you were knackered yesterday going to pick the car up on Saturday night and then moving house yesterday.

I bet it won't be long until you start doing a few bits and pieces to it, I know when I had my Spec C I didn't plan on doing much to it...:D
