Default New addition to the family...

Last night the tiny pitter patter of feet..sorry wheels, arrived at my house on the back of The Moose's trailer following a trip to Birmingham to bring her home. Any way here she is with her sister.



And a couple of shots after a wash...







Quick shot inside, excuse the dirty feet on the mat.



At last my quest for a Version 5 Type R "Limited" is over. She needs a few car park dents sorting, but other than that is good to go.

Cheers fella's, i got there in the end. Not sure on the plate size, but it may be coming off to be replaced by a standard one, didn't have much luck last time i ran a small plate, got busted after 5 days.

Cheers H, i'll see how i get on, i may be alright as the car won't be a daily driver as the other one was at the time. The South Wales Constabulary aren't quite so forgiving.

You tart, I bloody knew you couldn't keep it to yourself and making me swear an oath to keep my gob shut.

A very nice car indeed and I can understand why people hold them in such high esteem, you never know my next Impreza after I get bored with the Spec C could be a Type R.

I hope to see it at a meet soon, and don't forget as a Limited model you should have your own exclusive parking area.

Cheers Ty, the excitement was too much! You have had the Spec C a while by your standards now.
As for the exclusive parking space...right next to the Curry and Carvery please

Cheers Mr Kyte, not just as its a 2 door. Its got the DCCD, is my fave colour and being a limited had the longer ratio 5th, so i'm not revving as much as the wrx was back and forth to the shows in the summer. Which when you've got a Nur Spec R, makes a big difference. Basically after having my car for 5 and a half years, i've refined my taste and its the model for me.

What you should have said Dylan is that:

"If you ever want to be frightened witless and have a real demonstration of what your car is capable of then hand me the keys and get in the passenger seat"

I did and had to grab the 'Jesus' rail.
