Hi Faye, you are obviously a bit of an extrovert....

Up North the WYIOC meet at Sherburn - see club section for details...

Down South are the Sheffield Scoobies.

Looks a nice motor, I bet you have a big smile on your face every time you drive it, make sure you only fill your scoob with Shell V power or Tesco 99ron fuel(I thought I would mention it just in case you didnt know) so welcome to the wonderful world of Subaru ownership, you will soon be on first name terms with the people at your local Shell and Tesco garage forecourts, enjoy.

Thanks guys No mods planned really although I always say that and a few months later i get the bug. I enjoy detailing so just keeping it clean and well looked after for the moment, Im wondering if its going to be a bit of a pain to wax and polish though with the decals

nice looking car love im a valeter by trade and would just avoid scraping over the edges of the decals too much with cloths as they can start to lift and tear also some products weaken the glue also resulting in lifting and tearing. best way is to go off the edges of the stickers not rub onto them! just a tip enjoy your car!
