Hi guys,

Just saying hello

My name's Tom, I'm 18, living in Tilehurst, Reading.

I'm currently an apprentice at a motorsport transmission company called Xtrac in thatcham, so you'll probably see me half asleep on the A4 in the mornings haha.

I've had my Subaru since about June this year now. Its a gx sport AWD and I've loved every minute of it so far (yes even the 28 MPG)

Sorry it's not a great introduction, I'm just nodding off to sleep and will write a bit better tomorrow.

Tom

Haha funnily enough, i just deleted my facebook account, it causes too many arguments :/

Yeah mine was an ebay impulse too, i swapped it for a vw bora haha.

You don't even manage 28 in a wrx? I thought that was the norm whether it was turbo or not.

I always try and wave when i see someone but it's getting a bit difficult in the dark now. Theres one guy in a classic impreza who just glares at me when i wave haha.

Ha my Alfa gtv only manages 23 on motorway trips and i'd be lucky to get 15 with some A road spirited driving.

Hi there!

If memory serves me right, there is a JDM car meet every 3rd Tuesday of the month by the football stadium. There are normally a good turn out of Scoobies there. If you ever see a P1 with FA and Mighty Car Mods stickers on the rear quarter windows, that'll be me. Feel free to come over and have a chat , I'm not hard to miss at 6.4 and wears glasses. Hope to bump into you at the next Reading meet in January!
