Last night of ownership tonight, the car is moving on to pastures new. Just thanks to everyone who has given me advice in the last 6 1/2 years.

What car do you have now?

I thought about leaving the fold a while back, no other car I tried was good enough though.

Sorry to see this Myles, your Bug is a lovely motor!

As said above, I'm sure you'll be back in the fold soon enough.

Your old afterburner centre section is still sounding lovely on my blob aswell

Cheers guys, the car is going to a really nice guy on here, Kezwaldo. He promised he'd look after it so I begrudgingly took the deposit!
I am pretty much definitely picking up a VX220 NA on Friday, and excited about it too. No turbo rush, no massive boot, a tiny rear window, no bonnet scoop, but 161.5bhp into a RWD lightweight chassis.
I'll never be one of those guys to slag the Impreza, I defended it vociferously the other day even after I know it was going, when some tool told me not to get another chav chariot. I've even had the hairdresser car and 'always be a Vauxhall' jibes and I don't even own it yet! I aint debadging it anytime soon, it might be a Vauxhall but it is a pretty useful little thing!!

Sensible to get rid considering how much you get moved about.

Don't be a stranger to SN mate.

Ooh, quick edit.

Since you're now in Marlow, going off your location. Collar SwissTony since he's fairly local, they've got 2 scoobs you can get your flat four fix with them.

Cheers micky, I'll be sure to hang around. There are some proper petrolheads on here!

I'll keep an eye out for SwissTony! It'll be weird to not do the Subaru wave, but even more weird if a VX220 driver waves to an Impreza driver!

Cheers Jay, its been emotional for sure. I hope kezwaldo is enjoying the car.

Not going to happen I'm afraid. The 'family car' box will be ticked, leaving it open for me to enjoy the vx without any worries.
