Smile Cornwall loves subarus!

Back in the day when I first got the bug for subarus was when my mate got a brand new STi bug, I'm thinking about 8 years ago now! I remember driving with him a few times and people would come over and have a look etc etc. Now it would seem the love for the car has somewhat dissapeared, possibly due to some of the old 1500 quid rot boxes being driven by teenage loons!
However after a trip to Cornwall which has some great roads and hardly any speed cameras, my faith has been returned! The cars are some what of a rarity down there as I only saw 2 in the whole week.
And yes I received a few admiring glances, well either that or they were wondering what's this chav doing down in lovely Cornwall!
Anyone on here from the deep south west?

Yes, and there are plenty of Scoobs here too - as well as a few Snetters.

Cornish roads need Imprezas. Try the Torpoint to Trerulefoot road at 3 am! Fanbloodytastic.

Aah it's good to hear, I was around the launceston area, have anY of you ever been up on the disused airfield on( I think) Bodmin moor? I couldn't believe it as I just drove on! Looks like an old Russian airforce base outa some film. Just a shame there were so many pot holes or it could have been loads of fun!!
