Default After 7years of subaru ownership time to say goodbye

from the age of 21 every car I have owned has been a impreza (bar a clio v6 ) now the time has come for me to move on and try something else, iv had the itch for a long time now...I sold my widearched impreza to a German guy who has taken it back to Germany on Saturday morning and by the afternoon I picked up my new ride. A mint r32gtr I will post a few pictures in a minute.. Very happy with my new car a very different drive to what I'm used too but I very much like a lot more relaxed driving style even with 500+ horses..
Been a sad weekend for me and met some wicked friends thorough subaru ownership no doubt "ill be back "

They are an amazing car, always wanted a dark grey one, but that colour looks great.

Got many plans for it?

Yeah I think the colour is a love or hate thing, personally I love it, and the guy who owned it before me has put his heart and soul in to building a stunning motor , he's basically done all the hard work for me, so plans wise not too much I'v already ordered a carbon front splitter and uprated brakes, but apart from that just a few tiny things on the bodywork and that's about it, power wise I'm happy with 520 at 1.1bar , but the turbos capable of 680 so I'v got plenty of scope just the small matter forged bottom end but that will be in the future,
Hi mike I sold it to a guy called Andreas. He said he was fr toward Munich

Never been a fan of the early skylines tbh, i love the fact that you can extract alot of power from a standard engine, but the looks of them are hit or miss with me, however there are a couple of beauty's I've seen about and they sound the nuts also

But I'm afraid for me it would have to be your old scoob that looks bloody lovely not that the skyline isn't nice, personal choice I suppose

Enjoy

Thanks mate, it's one if them, I'v been so lucky to own some real nice impreza's in my time,my brother owns one of my last cars which has just had a feature in fast car this month. You right was a gorgeous car but I needed a change I will probably be back in a couple of years time, but for now I'm happy with the gtr,
your right there are so many dogs around I'v been very lucky to stumble across such a nice one, but there old cars that need looking after so I do expect that it's going to cost me a lot to keep in good condition

Well how are you enjoying the GTR, just went a browse to see if you sold you car as remember it was for sale a few months back. Had a R32 GTR few years back running 600bhp and was a beast!
