Thats the problem with these cars, you get addicted and when you think your bored of them, you sell and then realise after buying another car how good the whole impreza experience is, Its not just a car, its the people you meet on the way, the car meets and shows you goto.

Ive done it a number of times, Left the fold, tried a Audi and ended up coming back, Also tried Evo's and a Focus RS, and still ended up coming back.

Megane R26 good car, But wait until winter when the roads are constantly wet and icey, You will defo miss the 4wd of the scoob, My Focus RS was crap to drive in wet weather conditions, was brilliant on a nice sunny day with dry roads, but anything else, id get frustrated with not being able to stop my front wheels spinning!!!

Was looking through your project yeterday on 22b.com, Amazing job you have done so far!!! Bet if you got rid you would be thinking in years to come, I wish I finished that project!!!

Keep thinking I wished I finished my old Type R project from a few years ago, Gutting when you got to buy everything twice again when you decide to do another on!!!!

True that but what you cant quantify is the time and emotion that has gone into them thats why they take on a life of their own...

They get under your skin like no other car i've ever owned that's for sure, just today I was getting my low level spoiler cleaned up to take back to england because i'd forgotten to do that last time I drove back, and started fantasising about what i'll be doing with the type r, getting the parts together to build an engine out here over the winter and driving the WRX again, can't ******* wait.
