Default n00b WRX owner

I couldn't find a newbie section so thought Id post a quick hello in here

My wife and I are picking up our 2003 WRX tomorrow morning and can't wait, went and concluded the deal last night and as soon as I took the test drive I just had to have the car!

Only have one picture at the moment from the dealer but will post some more in the gallery after I have picked it up tomorrow, already have so many plans!!

I would be careful because these engines are weak as hell. Make sure you keep an eye on the oil level because the bottom end will start knocking and watch for the radiator that leaks at the top. Also the tumble valves play up at a cost of £350 each there are 4 of them. Just drive it carefull look after it.
