Default picked the uk300 up today

evenin all....

after a 3 1/4 hour train journey down to plymouth I finally got my new pride and joy

The chap I bought it off has done an absolute credit to the scooby ( which I might nickname 'peparami' cause its a beast of an animal...lol

My new motor is as near to showroom condition which im well chuffed with...

I even got to see 1 of Colin Mcrae s rally cars in the workshop where he works...now that was a beast....



looking nice and shiny at my first tank of super........

well impressed at the fuel economy 2........202 miles at 80mph and only used just under half a tank

Very nice motor mate, bet you are well chuffed!

There is nothing like the first time you drive it home after buying it is there?, I pulled in for a full tank of V-Power and walked up to the til and the guy said to me, "The black err, erm, errr......" and I said, "Subaru????" (I thought wtf how can you not know what that is?) and he said "ah yeah, Soooobadabaadooo?" hmm....

Anyway the drive home was epic, I bet yours was too? You get better MPG than me that's for sure.
