New WRX owner

[Pwbchris]

Hi everyone,

I recently realised a childhood dream of mine and purchased my first ever Impreza.  For me, Impreza's have always been the car i've held above all others.  So to finally have one, parked on my drive, and at work, each day, getting to drive this dream car, is just a dream come true.  So yeah, wanted to introduce myself and say 'hi!'. 

As i've never owned a car like this (all my others have been standard run abouts like a 207, Megane etc) the anxiety sometimes kick's in with knowing if everything is right with it all the time etc.. But i'm loving it!  The car was very well kept by one owner for 14 years, and i'm immensley stoked on finding such a good example of one.

p.s I can't take any credit for the look of the car, as the previous owner did all that I think it looks awesome so am keeping it that way.

 Chris and welcome to The Subaru International Drivers Club!

Congratulations on achieving your childhood dream 

Fantastic that you bagged such a good example 👌

It does look awesome, I don't see many rally liveried Scoobs in the wild much these days... Yours would fit right in perfectly at Rallyday 

The SIDC will be attending Rallyday on Saturday 17th September 2022.
