Talking I've got one! (Almost)

Excuse my excitement but I just put a deposit down on my first WRX!!!

It's dark blue with STI wheels and only 12,000 miles on the clock. It's got a pretty cool licence plate that starts with WR51X.., not that I go in for that kind of showing off, of course!

I'm probably picking it up on Friday. Now I just have to decide if I pay to have a Tracker fitted or change my insurance company.

The annoying thing is that I'll have the car for three days and then it'll be locked in my garage for a week while I'm on holiday.

Thanks for all the advice you guys and gals have given me!

Good luck with the new car mate!

I was certainly grinning after the second local test drive because I was more familiar with the car and the route. But I was quite nervous yesterday because I didn't know the area and the streets were pretty busy, it was more like a driving test for me!!!

Can't wait to get the Scooby on some of my favourite roads and give it damn good thrashing!
