Default Big Dilemma

I have been made aware of a WR Ltd Legacy Wagon that's up for sale. It's the same as my old one, WR Blue, 2.0l JDM Twinscroll, STi sweep clocks, WR Ltd Interior, xenon's, electric seats etc but it does not have the OE alloys or the STi GENOME pipes like mine did.

As the Classic STi owes me nothing, eg finance or bank loans do I:

1. Finish the work on Classic STi and sell it?

2. Sell it as it is with all the bits ready to fit by a new owner?

3. Break it and make some extra cash?

4. Keep the Classic STi?

5. Forget the WR Ltd Leggy?

Big decision ian, as you know there's nothing wrong with the car you have
Do you know the history of the other car ?
I think only you can decide what to do mate

6. Buy both and have the two of them?

Option 6!!

Finish the work on your car and keep it Ian.

As you say owes you nothing and that's a great place to be.

Keep the Classic STI Ian, you've put so much hard work into it. Keep it and just enjoy it, as said it owes you nothing, so just enjoy.
I think you'd miss it if you sold it, you've done the Leggy thing.

Keeps yours Ian, the classics are becoming even rarer! A nicely modded one is a rare sight to be seen, that's what swayed me to keep the R! It'll be worth keeping in the end!!

Keep yours ian. Yes its older than the foggy but a retro classic the classics will soon turn into, especially a good one as yours.

Tough call man,

Depends i spose if your planning on transporting Dog(s) or using it as a support vehicle for Tyron for when he inevitably ****s himself mid hairpin and decides to hand the keys over to decent driver....!!



Nice leggy but not for me, too much newage-ness about it for my liking!!!

A tough call Ian, personally against the flow I'm with Danny on this one but it is your decision - but is it a case of wanting to change the classic or has the right car come along at the right time?

Would an option be to keep the Impreza in the Batcave and get the Leggy aswell? If its as good as your last one it will be too good to pass on. Very rare aswell and stealthy

Ozz, as young Rob has never driven a proper Impreza (ie bug, blob or hawk) he probably doesn't know what he is missing.

I can hear the sound of pitchforks and torches being lit as we speak by the chavs...Freudian slip there...sorry I meant classic owners.

Now run for cover as they now post en masse, telling me how their classic is the only Impreza worth owning, newages are not a proper Impreza blah blah blah.

Ian, I know you regret selling both the Legacy and Forester and I have to say I like both of them but the Foggy STi is my personal choice.

And I am not really helping here either.
