Are you from B'north then Burns....? We (my g/f and i) live just outside and are both scooby drivers, Maybe we could meet sometime or you could join us at one of the SSC meets.

Blooming Eck.... Gazza, there's no hiding from you is there.... lol
A meet over this way has been mentioned before, There's plenty of decent pubs by the river with good sized car parks etc and of course a few twistys.
I'll get my thinking cap on and get something sorted.

You could always go down to the river and rail at hampton load,big field next to the river and the pub serves food outside in summer.Our window cleaner was telling me about the faintree impreza he said it was a 2.5 ltr.

I'm probally going back to 2003 when i bought the 205 i'll never forget the sound of those cars, best thing about it though it was about 10.30pm until they went out in the cars all you could hear in the countryside was the wildlife owls etc.

Servicing possibly but tuning,I'd stick to the tried and tested folks such as API,Andy forrest,bob rawle,Jolly green monster,scoobyclinic etc they know their impreza's.Mine's about to go to API for a bigger turbo and a remap
