Hello and welcome!
I'm currently in the USA (Columbia, IL) and I too am on i-club (username markuswarren I think!)
suffice to say that this bbs is very much like i-club, hope you enjoy it.
as for you 'hanging out' here, hey, you're more than welcome, hell, if you guys allow me on i-club then you're a pretty tolerant lot!

My name is Domenic,
I'm a member of the North American Subaru Impreza Club - "New England" chapter.
I own a Black 97' Subaru Impreza 2.2 5spd ......... Nothing in comparison to the Subies out here though! Plan on keeping it though .... she is trully reliable ..and when the day comes that she can take no more ...then we will rebuild her...."the right way" ....STI RA style
The only person I know here is 'Little Miss WRX' - she introduced herself to our site a couple months ago ...... Hi Michelle
Hope you guys are o.k. with someone from the "other side of the pond" hangin out a little. Please feel free to show me the ropes... as i have been here for a total of 10 minutes ...and have no idea as to how things are done.
Hello once again -
Domenic
btw : yes ... I am Italian ...incase u were wondering ...Ciao

Yep another I-clubber 
I have very few digital pics of the car ..... (taken by other clubbers at a meet near Boston about a year ago) most show just bits and pieces of it ..since there are other cars in the way - I have plenty of my own pics.... but not yet in digital format
If someone can give me a heads up as to how to post these things i'll put some up in my next reply

Welcome. I see you've discovered Scoobynet also - great site.
I'm a member of the I-Club also, and am usually lurking in the Tri-State Forum (as rakman). Since you live in CT you should try to make it to one of our regular "spirited" Sunday Drives.
I'll be happy to act as your translator for some of the comments / slang. However, being a Mancunian I confess I have trouble understanding folks south of Watford Junction :-). I hope you enjoy the different sense of humour when compared to the US and the wealth of knowledge the Brits have already about our cars.
PS. To post a picture just follow the instructions at the beginning of this forum and "Bobs you Uncle". I've attached a picture of my car.

Subies live on a diet of twistie roads - you won't find many of them within the grid-lock known as Manhattan. We have a very thriving community of Subies outside Manhattan - Long Island / Queens.
The WRX is pretty rare over here - only about 15000 in the whole country. Most of them are found along the US snow belt - NY/NJ/CT, Colorado and some out west.
Here's a picture of one of our summer meets in Cape May, NJ

Being Bi-lingual is always good ... i'm actually giving Spanish a try at the moment ... we'll see what happens

Bienvenidos!
Soy Galles e ahora un estudiante de Espanol. Tengo un poquito de Italiano solo, pero estan molto similare!
Having just spent a few weeks in the States, why do you want these Scooby cars? It's all straight with traffic lights everywhere, and everyone drives so slow! Well LA, Maui and Miami anyway! Maui was funny - lots of 300bhp + cars, and the max speed limit there being 45mph, reducing to MAXIMUM 15 MPH whenever there was the slightest curve in the road!
I actually 'got it' - The Chrysler 300M and Mustang and Harley Heritage were dynamically awfull - terrible terrible machinery, but they do suit the roads there (the 300M had fewer agricultural parts, and wasnt too bad actually). But having the big capacity engines but with no go in all these vehicles was very puzzling!
Why have you gone for these stiff little cars, and are you aware that the speed cameras are coming...???
Saludos

>>I think you are confusing that with the red light cameras that are being trialled in CA<<
Sorry Richard, but it's true.
Hawaii has been the test ground, and are having a big debate about it now. It seems to be going that they will pull them down for reasons of the backlash, and since they clearly cause driver distraction. How nice - if it happens.
