Default My introduction

Hey everybody!! I've been a member of this site for awhile and released i never introduced myself so here i go I'm Dan I'm 21 and from sandy bedfordshire, I'm new to the subaru world having owned a majority of french hot hatches most my driving life the scooby is a great upgrade for me i can see myself keeping it for quite some time

My previous cars history is quite long for the time I've been drive :P

Started in a 1.4lx 206


then i moved onto a 1.6 Ford SportKa sold that to my mum as i felt it was a tad to girly for me





After that i got myself a 2004 1.9 Cdti 150 vectra No pics

decided i didn't like diesel and got another french hot hatch a 206 GTI



Unfortunately had it written off by a foreign lorry driver after 4 months of ownership

as a run about i brought a 1.8 focus which was the shortest time I've ever owned a car had it for a whole week!!

I got myself on the hunt for another car and as i owned a few 206's i had always wanted to own the GTi 180 so i got myself one owned it for just under 2 years and done a lot of very subtle and performance/handling mods to it
As i brought it


how i sold it!



And finally my favourite of all my cars, I'm sure i will be hanging onto this one i love it!! its a 2005 Sti type UK with the PPP fitted,

I bet the insurance figures seem rediculous to some of you

Thats a very nice car for anyone, let alone a 21 year old. Insurance will seem high to some of us older ones but I remember paying £1400 on a Citroen AX GT around 12 years ago which would probably be equal to paying 2k+ in today's money so in a way your insurance is cheap! Just don't bend it otherwise you'll struggle to get insurance on a mobility scooter!!

that is very true buddy, but tbh most of you will think its pointless me having this car as i never go over the speed limits, i keep it to track days when i want to have fun, i drive the car for what it is not for how it goes, i look after everything to well to then go and write it off by dangerous driving doesn't do anything for me
