Blinkin eck that last year went fast!!

16yrs here now


wow

 

 

Early 2000's, those where the days. when a Impreza would turn heads and if you was running 400bhp you was a god!!!

 

yeah.. you mean no £1500 sheds

 

I am sure a lot has changed on this forum, and not necessarily for the better.

 

It is indeed a long time

Couple of years behind you Salsa-King and things have certainly changed a lot

 

Bloody children.

 

I've stopped counting since I turned 30

 

All you need is PS Lewis now and this thread would be like a geriatric home

 

I'm nearly. Up to 16 years also in June when I got my Greenwagon

I'm going for the longest owned car since new title
Think I was forth three years ago

Trouble is the Subaru enthusuists lost faith when all the 09 + engines went pop and people are still nervouse of the new impreza
A shame as its a great looking car and price isn't any more when you take inflation into account

 

Dont worry Salsa, a few of us are pushing the 16 years on here now

LH, yes, the 2.5ltr just killed confidence in Subaru, hence I went for the 2ltr twin scroll unit which is far superior and still being used in Japan (shall we mention the FA engine or not?)
Hopefully we may get the new WRX with the FA engine, just as much power as the 2.5 STI and more torque, the only thing that leaves you wondering why its not in an STI in Japan and why are they still running the EJ207.... hmmm.

On an off note, anyone tried the 1.6ltr turbo out?

 

couple of years behind. I recon I must have the lowest thread post

 

Speak for yourself

 

TedEd may be lower than you

 

Forget Subaru now..... they're a spent force.

German is the future!

 

10 years for me this year, doesn't time fly!

 

Fortunately there are some good cars from yesteryear left for us to enjoy

 

Perhaps

 

Only eight for me. ,I've have had fourteen Subaru's though does that count

 

15 for me across 2 user-names. Delighted I've got another Classic Subaru. Sometimes you need time to pass before you know what you've been missing. Like life in general ?!

 

nice one lads

 

Must admit that I rarely frequent here these days...my Scoob has been sat on the drive for 2 years, but should be resurrected soon.

I fondly remember the Derby / Notts crew and the various meets and runs that we used to do back in the day....I think I still have a lot of those pictures on 35mm film!

 

scan them up Dave

 

Been on SNET since getting my STi3 wagon in Aug 1999, had a couple of accounts in that time.
Cars been garaged since 2006, 55k miles, might be on the road this summer.
Still got the broquets fitted 😎

 

It's not like the good ol' days anymore sadly.

 

I still pop by from time to time to see if there are any interesting stories, but that's about it. After four Imprezas I'd had enough of the cost and hassle... now I'm happier with a nice, comfy BMW and a motorbike.

I do miss the shows, and the community that used to exist, but changing my car isn't going to bring those back

 

It was all going down hill by 2000 - that's when the chavs started joining

 

not with £1500 shed though lol

 

No Impreza's where i live, so every time i'm out get good comments, but my mate is trying to get one so that all might change

 

It has come around quick.

I remember when having an Impreza was admired and you were considered as a true petrolhead.

Kids would stop and stare and people would stop and ask questions.

Then came Lexus rear lights and the neon brigade.


I also went German two years back as Audi were the only other people to offer 300+ bhp and AWD. (Without risk).
