Hello folks,

Well, I did it.

I took the plunge today and bought an STI 8 PPP.

She is WR Blue Mica and absolutely beautiful.

Can you tell I'm smiling a lot?

She's not cheap, but what the hell, you only live once!

Big thank you to Ian at Stan Palmers in Carlisle, first class service from a top chap!

Apologies for the excessive use of smilies!





NOT!

Will do Sonic, as soon as I get her!

Need to strip my classic now since most of the bits are sold. (not appealing prospect)

Nice are'nt they

Tell me does your bonnet flex like crazy at about 110mph ?

(Ah, you are probably still doing the 1000 miles)

Spoke to the dealer today and they have requested that I put it in writing so they can forward it to Subaru.

Gary, I noticed the rear spoiler flexing like crazy on the test drive.

Ian mentioned that the P1 rear wing bevels a lot too (at 170mph! )

You just wait until 1k is past, the grin gets even bigger after 4000rpm



Oh yes, the rear wing wobbles a bit
