Mines been laid up for 4 months while I've been away, and it'll be another 2 months before I use it again. Dreading the service cost to put it back on the road, needs some work, all the fluids changing and then to get some goodies fitted before the remap
Get it back on the road in January, it'll be like a second christmas

there 4 WHEEL DRIVE......!!!!!
the winters the best time for them ..
icy roads and watching other cars crash as you go past at 60+....
waving at them,as you go sideways round the roundabout..
thats what these cars are about..
if you hide a car away over the winter ,,,,get a show car

Every Impreza I've owned was used as an everyday car, including the UK 22B I had, rain snow whatever. Don't see the point in tucking cars in garages, crazy.

I refuse to own what is for all intents and purposes a rally car and then lay it up for the winter.
Im out in the leave covered wet roads driving like it was built to be driven.

my car is in the garage untill i have the cash ready for RCM to build me a monster, plan on keeping the scooby for ever so dont see the point of having it out in the bad weather when i have a 2nd car. will be missing her on those frosty morning when you really want a blast. but 500 bhp still seems like a dam good idea
