Default Picked up my first Subaru!!

Hi everyone, as im sure a few of you are aware I have been looking for 'my' Subaru for nearly 2 years. This search has had me driving them n england and New Zealand trying to find the one for me.

Yesturday I finally picked it up!! After much deliberation and thought I think I have the one I want and needed.

Blue WRX STi 05 Model with PPP. Super Low miles and has had 5 services all with same mains Subaru dealer.

Im so happy and am really excited to join the group 'properly' now that I own one. I need to get it washed and wheel aligned today if anyone has any ideas of a place to get the tracking done on a sunday. (Im in the Southwest).

Thanks for all the help and answers to my stupid questions and I hope I can start to contribute more to this forum by learning my car etc. (Im sure I'll still be asking a butt-load of questions though)

Welcome to ownership! Not sure how far into the South West you are but if Gloucester is not too far, you could try Chris Mullins Tyres - they've been very good when I used them and only charge for each item that needs adjustment rather than a fixed charge even if only one item it out.

Thanks everyone, and thanks Gigsy. Im not too far from gloucester. I was actually going to go to Powerstation as it turns out its only 45 mins away. Hopefully I can get in there tomorrow since I have a day off.

Dont supose you know anywhere local again that could do window tints? Id say £100 to £120 with a sunstrip is pretty fair price aslong as its a good job.

Any advice would be great.
