Well, went to Lancaster Pangbourne yesterday and sat out front was a demo MY03 STi. Had to look it over and spoke to one of their friendly sales assistants; you know, just outta interest...

Cost to change = £ 15,995.00 for new STi with PPP (300BHP) - this includes a 11K chop in on my RB5. Delivery available in March...

Now I have to say that I really didn't like the bug-eye and was very sceptical about the new facelift. BUT, this car is fantastic! It really does look the mutts nuts and even the scoop that is the size of a quarry shovel is starting to grow on me...

The sales-bod is going to call next week (hopefully) to arrange a test drive. There's this little devil on my shoulder whispering, go on, buy it! (Prrrrrreeeeeecccccciiiiiiooooouuuusss!).

The moral of the story? Don't go and look at a MY03 STi in the meat, it will pull you in with it's tractor beam!!!

You have been warned!!!!

Was thinking about a couple of options on the PX thang...

Maybe keep hold of my RB5 for a few months, sell it privately and wait for the first of the 'nearly new' or demo cars to get on the market.

OR

Listen to Gollum, flog my motor privately now and wait for the fireworks with the bank manager!!!

Decisions, decisions...

How does she drive then m8? As good as she looks?

drives better than the old 7 that i test drove
handling is better, but will really test it later today
styling is way better and seems more lively than the 7
tell youre more later on this afternoon when it really has been driven

Anyone got some medication for turning green (with envy)???

Phil - good job Feb only has 4 weeks in it!!!

...Well, obviously not until you've run the engine in that is!!

no problem had the 1k service sat

Thought it was more than that for the run in period? Bet you've been driving it down to the end of the garden to get things from the shed haven't you?

Still, time to let the good time roll!!!



Got any ideas what you wanna do after the PPP?

Pro Boy,

You still need to excercise a little restraint, gradually building up the revs.

Took Lancaster's STI out yesterday for a spin, very nice.
