Aye, if you want decent aftersales service with Subaru then go to Grieves Sad that I have to say that but if you ain't merc then forget Perth.

Well done mate, congrats

I'm still here. Still watching

Russ

"We used to be Vauxhall dealers!!!!

Hows it goin auld yin anyway,missin that old banter

Gav"

Hey buddy Aye things are fine. Definately miss the banter of old though

How's everyone doing down there?

Must try and catch up soon

Russ

good point Gordon, stupid place for a dealership if he puts it out there imo.

I was told Richard Lawson had signed up to a dealership, i'll try and find out a location

As some of you may know I left Subaru in April down to some of the same reasons that Grant had. I have however kept in contact with the Franchise and yes Subaru are talking to a certain individual in Dundee about taking on the franchise. I just hope that if they do get it they do not make the same mistakes that certain other dealers in the area have made. Namely.... For God's sake have a management and sales team that actually has an interest in the product and cares about its customers. Get a dedicated service dept that knows its product and will listen and accept that some subaru owners do actually know a bit about their cars.

Realise that Subaru owners are not Renault, Vauxhall, Hyundai, Mercedes or any other manufacturer owners and are a bit special.

Treat its staff with a bit of respect and if they get good people hold on to them.

If the rumours are true and Dundee does get a dealer then I really hope they make a better go of it than some of the dealers out there.

Rant over

Russ

Brought the 7R out of hibernation about 4 weeks ago and had forgotten how much

I love it.

Russ

just spoke with Gus at GMT 19.54 Via text.

He's offsky to Canada noo !

Godspeed matey, need a few more mods on the Fozzy when ye get back (like a tow ball for me boat)

Still lookin' at the new Leggy from Russ as the new powerplant for the boat though !

Best to keep Fab-1's forester in the best of nick.

Nice one me old son Now she'll stop as good as she goes.

Must catch up soon mucker.

Russ

All test drives carried out on private road while adhering to national speed limits (read... laws of physics)

Glad you enjoyed yourselves today. Made me really want to get another track car this year and be able to take you out round knockhill and show what a scoob can really do.

Hmmmm must start collecting the pennies.

Gus, you free for co-driver duties

Russ

Well, just came in here to post up about the absolutely lovely customers I had in over the last couple of days and here I see I've been beaten to it.

Alan-G and Fab1, it was an absolute pleasure helping make your dreams come true today. You actually brought it back to me why I do my job. For all the cr&p that I sometimes have to put up with, having customers (friends) like you two make all the rubbish fade away.

So glad that Gus' Fozzy is going to such a good home.

Oh and just how CUTE is my new girlfriend Holly. She is an angel

Speak soon

Russ

Looking fantastic buddy

Russ

Hmm, I likey Pal. When am I getting a pax lap?

Russ

Some wonderful touching comments. This just hasn't sunk in yet. So So sad.

The man as has already been said was a Hero, a Legend.

Colin, you and Johnny are forever in our thoughts.

Russ & Jackie

Type UK was a model that Subaru did in 06. Standard WRX but with Smartnav and tracker fitted. Also sure it got bluetooth too.

Russ

There has been an issue with 18's on wrx wagons fitted with prodrive or other lowering springs.
