Just got my first Impreza.. (Glasgow)
Hi guys,
I've just bought my first Impreza, a 2033 WRX STi. I should be picking it up on Monday or Tuesday, pretty chuffed.
Anyone recognise the car, FJ53 YRX, WRC blue with gold rims? Previous owner was from East Kilbride.
Cheers,
Lenny

Anyway, thats the car had it's full service. All fluids and filters changed, engine, gearbox and diffs. Timing belt replaced and adjuster, all brakes stripped, 4 wheel alignment done. Tracker fitted and everything all checked. Clean bill of health from my mechanic.
I'm up in Orkney for the weekend, part work part pleasure. Mmmm... you think I took my diesel Beemer which makes more sense? Nah, decided to give the Scooby a decent run. Well, it was amazing, standard 70mph run up the A9 etc. with the odd blast past trucks. I just love this car, superb. The roads from Inverness up to the ferry by John O'Groats were superb as usual, but even better in the Scooby.
Fuel economy has been much better than I thought, I've not been driving like my hair is on fire but occasional bouts of dropping the boot mixed in with off boost sensible. Also with 3 adults, a dog and a boot full of filming gear, got 30.2mpg

I was quite impressed with the mpg, although I reckon the 6 speed box helps and to be honest most of my run was off boost. Saying that, it drove well at a steady 70 all the way. She pulls beautifully for those faster overtaking truck manoevures on the A9. When she comes on boost and you're pushing it she sounds gorgeous. Also, it was a pleasure on the twistier roads in Sutherland, just what she was built for.
I have to say, I did a bit of motorsport in my youth, had my fair share of fast cars but I've fallen in love with this blob. The sound is unique, nothing quite like it... In fact, stopped at Tesco in Inverness and as I got out the car I heard the unmistakeable sound of a flat 4 boxer burble. Yup, it was a gorgous UK300. It really is such a distinctive sound.
I'm addicted guys....
