Newbie from Wigan
Hello all, my first time on a car forum!
So here goes! My name is Lee a family man with two little ones oh and the wife that's enough drivel more about cars.
About a month ago I owned a 2006 aqua blue Parallel import WRX for 3 years which originated from Malta, all standard just had my alloys refurbed and changed to gun metal grey she only had 21k when I first picked her up and traded her on with only 40k on the clock, it was a great car my first time experiencing 4WD and I got the bug as my previous car to this was a 280bhp mr2 turbo because I loved my RWD sideways action but this was a bit of a handful shall we say... too twitchy for my liking!
I traded my WRX for a 2007 rally blue STI PPP with low mileage (40k) full stamps etc from Northen Ireland, not showroom condition yet but I'm currently changing all the cars fluids so I know where I stand then I'll get onto the detailing! The Mrs thinks I'm obsessed constantly p***ing around outside tinkering. Good excuse to get out the house away from screaming kids to tinker......then go for a drive up Rivington Pike with the phone off!
I used to go to Wigan car cruise in my Mr2 but felt I was getting a little past it for that scene but the love of cars hasn't gone away thanks to my scoobs.
Anyway enough about me before I bore you all to death!
