Actually, I think he is being honest. Watching an old episode Evo vs Scoob on Dave, he liked the Scoob in his heart.

Subaru are going mainstream, global and all that but they may have missed the boat with the new Impreza. Why is the Legacy built soooooo much better than the Impreza? having had three Impreza's and now the Legacy I can't believe the difference, even against the new Impreza.

Hi Ho Leggy Away. Biased .............. maybe but are many peeps rushing to buy?

Facelift and discounts coming soon, keep an eye on Motorpoint and Litcho's.

He's always been one to contradict himself, writes one thing then when it comes to the programme he says something totally different!! We'll see what he says when TG comes back

The looks of the new one is VERY marmite but those lexus rear lights would definately have to go!!! A Hawkeye Spec C might have my name on it

I laughed myself silly when I read it - brilliant.

Of topic but, Blue Dragoon, were you on the M4 yesterday about 12.15 between Cardiff West and Pencoed cruising in the outside lane. Certainly looked like your car as it passed me after the Llantrisant junction - if it was, hope you slowed before the scamera van at Pencoed .

Obviously I observed the statutory speed limit at the South Wales Police Pay point on the Bridge.

I was coming back from London yesterday about 3 o'clock, and he was on the bridge just after Junction 33, don't see him there very often.

He must have got bored @ Pencoed and moved.

You may have been observing the speed limit, but you didn't observe the scooby wave

I had to laugh at the article too, I don't think he's having a dig at you guys so much as the new influx of chavs that are buying classic Imprezas these days. The kind of person whose car buying process goes.

1) Wow, this Tokyo Drift film is awesome. I want to replace my Saxo with something fast and Japanese. I'll go and test drive a Honda Civic...
2) ...wow, this Honda Civic is worse than my Saxo, what other Jap cars are there?
3) umm? Skyline, damn, can't get insured on that, ok I'll buy a Subaru Impret.. erm. Imp-ret, Impretzel? Imprezzzzza, yeah, I think that's how you pronounce it.
4) Wow, this car is great, I can go around corners really fast in it, I'm a really awesome driver now.
5) Will T-Cut remove this tree from my B pillar?

Out of interest, does anyone here own an Impreza in a sort of orangey brown colour and regularly park up behind the Ladbrokes on the circle in Pontllanfraith? I've seen it loads of times (as well as a grey coloured import classic with one of the bonnet vents converted into a little scoop) but never seen the driver.

Mr Clarkson might be GOD, but the hamster is the DRIVING GOD.

Saying that though the image is going no where fast either on the road or in the forests/ashphelt of the world, so come on PRODRIVE/HI get your fingers out and put CITROEN/FORD/SKODA ect ect.... back where they belong, before our pride and joys become negative equity, and the icon becomes a thing of the past..
