Unhappy 2 years, 8 months and 1 day

January 28th 2004....the first pics...






...today...the last pics...












...gutted...



Sold the car today. 2 years, 8 months and 1 day. No accidents, no points, no pulls, no thefts, no malicious damage, no breakdowns. 1x O2 sensor, 1 wheel bearing, 1x EGT sensor and a loose Prodrive I/C pipe were the only hardships. STi wing £100 courtesy of Alan AST coilovers £100 courtesy of Simon STi alloys with RE070's £100 and yet another bargain Prodrive flaps were free courtesy of HawkTheScoobSlayer. Went through a few sets of expensive brake pads before Paul Eds showed me a much more balanced style of driving, and the fuel was a burden. I don't regret a single bit of it, except watching it disappear around the corner without me today, but now I can focus on my careers which will ultimately provide the replacement.

Best wishes to Bryan, the new owner. I hope she's as good for you, and you're as good to her as I was. Many thanks to everyone I've met and shared many fun times with over the years, I look forward to more even though I'm Scoobless

Roll on the 380bhp+ Forester STi with AST's etc

I can sympathise i have had my WRX for 2yrs 6 months and a few weeks (a record for me no other car has lasted me for more than 9 months). Got a new job couldn't afford to use the scooby for the commute ect so bought a diesel but in a few years time it will mean a decent wage and i'll be back behind the wheel of one just like yours which is a very nice car!!

I'm not by any means trendy and occasionally find some of my togs come back into fashion and then go back out again whilst still in service
