Hi all, new to the fold and I can't wait......

I'm picking up an 05 wrx wagon on Thursday which has the PPP fitted, I went to see it on Saturday there and I can't fault it, it's proper clean, well looked after with FSH. Heated leather seats, sunroof......I'm buzzing for it

I'll get some pics up after I've picked it up, not new to subarus as the missus has a non turbo one which is going to her Dad now but it's the first turbo one that we've had. It drives spot on, I love it.

Welcome mate, enjoy your new car.

Can't be many Imprezas in Killin. Picturesque village, I've been through it many times, and some great roads for an early morning drive.

For such a small village there's a few. A fella who goes through them like they're going out of fashion. His current one is a P1.

A Classic STI & a blob STI.

The roads are awesome but they're riddled with police nowadays especially after reducing most of the A85 to 50mph.

Your Scoobs looking nice and clean, looks real good Wull

Yes that was us, we had a silver wagon at the front leading the way
cracking day out going down the side of Loch Tay was awesome, we stopped for food at Grandtully, a few white water rafters out on the water - good day had by all

Funnily enough the wagon was overtaking and making a ***** of s noise

Reminded me of the wagon I've now bought, I remembered it was for sale and decided to go for it. I had considered a MK5 GTI but came to my senses.

I'm more than made up, I'm like a kid all over again. I'm not new to speed coming from motorbikes, last one being an R1 which I sold at the start of summer last year but **** me this motor shifts.

I picked the motor up at 16:30 yesterday, went and picked up the missus who was dropping our n/a wagon at a mates and then headed home, a decent 45 mile drive to see how the wagon goes.

I've been in a Scooby with 420bhp but that was such a long time ago that I've kind of forgot what it felt like. I love how this wagon drives, easy to go along at normal speeds, happy in traffic but when you need to open her up a bit there's no dramas, the job gets done. Sounds spot on with the Prodrive exhaust system, not ridiculously loud but just loud enough to put a smile on your face.

I'm toying with the idea of fitting a atmospheric bov but I have heard it can play havoc with the maf sensor, yet quite a few have said they've fitted one and had no issues at all.
