paulc555 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 As most of you know I bought the Sti RA track car of Jamie Hisoob....back in October.....it has now gone for its MOT and final check over before I get a chance to try it out on the first track day....... With the purchase of the track car...we compromised on Jo's everyday runabout and got her an Astra Sxi....but as has been proven many times before on this forum..once you driven a subaru or in her case 4 of them....they are very difficult to let go of.....so she missed it desperately...and in true subaru fashion pined for another one.....so the Astra had to go....it only lasted 9 weeks....... we picked up this wagon last weekend..its in crackin condition for its age and mileage..with a full up to date subaru service history...only bad point was the wheels.......so got the new wheels fitted yesterday and I think they look pretty neat......so we are now a 2 scoob and 1 volvo family.....hope you all like it...she is lovin the power again... so now that we are sorted with 2 of them...I will try to get back to regular meetings for the central area... Paul

kloon Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Very nice Wagon that. I can concur with the smitten thing, i've only been away from mine for less than 4 months and it's the worst decision I ever made

david_taylor Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Nice one mate. Not seen you post in a while. Workin hard as usual no doubt! Missin the power of the scooby, and that I aint as fast than most cars on the road Paul, but aint missing the running costs! My woman hated the subaru....wanna trade! ha ha Edited January 19, 2008 by dtabbit77
Double Zero Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Very clean looking wagon paul,when is the mrs starting the mod's? Stevie
paulc555 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 thanks for the comments guys.....yeah so far its seems to be a good find.....but once I get the RA back from Duncan at Hypertech...will get the wagon across for a good check over..... fingers crossed, but just hoping that the 14 stamps in the service book plus a fully documented history....give me some sort of reassurance... Paul
