Default New Subaru owner.

Hi, hope this is the right place couldn't find a new members section. Well I have purchased my first Subaru on Monday gone. Pick it up next Monday, Cant wait. This is also my first foreign build car. I am 22 and from Darlington and my car history has consisted of 2 Rover 25's a Rover 400 and a Jaguar X Type. I already have plans and lots of questions involving modification insurance etc which I will ask after I have picked up the car. Here is some pictures.

Cheers, I did notice that in the picture but I have no idea where they where taken. I have bought it from John Gill in Bedale, a Ford and Mercedes main dealer. These pics definitely where not taken from outside there. Tire wasn't flat when I test drove it.

I am in 2 minds about the wheels, thinking of getting them powder coated black have found one picture of a WRX with black wheels and it looked good. Any one have any other pictures.

That was the first thing i noticed!!

Gorgeous car though, drove a similar one round a race track a few years ago (one of those dream car experience things) it was brilliant!!

Imo id have them done white or gun metal grey

Yes I am looking forward to the extra power and better handling but before I bought it I was sat thinking I am going to miss the climate control, heated seats, auto defrost, electric seats, auto lights/wipers, cruise control, cd multi changer, 50+mpg that the Jag offers at 5 in the morning but them I though you only live once, summer will soon be round soon lol.

I can't believe it, i got whacked today.
Just dribbling out of Asdas and a woman in a Pug decided she only needed to look right and not left and pulled out and whacked my front right lights and wing. She appologised and pointed out hers was equally damaged which has nothing to do with who is to blame at all. I've called the insurance ppl and it will be taken away on the 9th and a curtesy car of a similar type will be given to me. that'll be a Lambo of some kind then will it?
