Hi all well iv been restoring my wrx wagon for the past few months after having it garaged for nearly 3 years..managed to get it through mot (with alot of Tinkering)
So I decided to take her out for a country jaunt. .all I can say is I was left with a hot turbo and a huge grin ;-)
Safe to say my work is paying off :-)

 

Good on you mate !

Or as they say - "love it when a plan comes together" !

 

Cheers mate!
Even had a few wannabes tryin their luck..all was well until a bike clung on to my rear end upto a ton..then I thought I best let him past, he even saluted me in a typical biker way ;-)

 

Strange one really.
Hit 'em on the handling - but could anyone live in their hearts of hearts if the guy overcooked it and killed themselves?

I got burnt by an ST earlier this week and my concern is that he thinks 'I can take on the world now' and kills someone with his stupidity.

(PS Oil Temp <50, now way was I risking mine).

 

Oh I had a really nice mondeo up my **** on a 30mph road full of kids!!! Trying to get me to boot

Then as I indicate right he pulls out to cut me off so he can get in front... He got a nice beep and a 1 finger from me...

Really p1sses me off when they have kids in the car!!! If anything happens the kids had NO choice of been in that car!

 

Yea it was on a bypass (dual carriageway )
Still getting reacquainted with power on demand ;-) next time il be too worried thinking about fuel consumption to entertain the wannabes ;-)

 

I was astonished at the driving on the M6 North from Birmingham last week. I was bringing the FSTi home and was sat at a steady 70ish and the traffic was tearing past me.

Whenever I had to pull out around artics I invariably ended up with a rep in a (delete as appropriate) Mondeo/3 Series/A4 doing 100+ up my chuff.

I always enjoy driving enthusiastically but it's so important to stay within your ability level, a lot of the attention I used to get in the GB270 was kids in their mum's fiesta/corsa etc and even after buzzing away at the lights they'd always creep past you doing 82mph flat out in the outside lane with the poor car shaking like a shi**ing dog and half a dozen brain dead chavs on the back seat.

I got to the point where I found that totally ignoring them was the best policy.

 

Yep agreed..im more bothered about underseal than bhp at the mo ;-)

 

Ah yes, underseal. I need to check mine...

You know, I think this might mean that we're now old enough to be allowed to drive these cars to the annoyance of all of the yoofs that can't get insurance and are worried about the output of their 1.2 fiesta. It's these yoofs that are the ones who want to race us off every set of lights while we're too worried about underseal to notice lol.

 

Haha well im 2 sills and one arch into undersealing..although the wagon is looking abit rat style with no side skirts currently fitted and tatty flaking rims, its runnin sweet as a nut!
