Update: The insurance assesor has been to Nobles and approved the repairs to the car so all parts are ordered and work is beginning on the car. Hopefully be on the road again soon. Bought a lovely new beast as my M reg Primera is off to my brother now. It is a 1998 Primera 2.0 GT, black Enkei Nissan wheels, superb drivers car, much better (half leather) sports seats than the Impreza and handles like it is on rails (factory fitted strut brace etc)!!! Excellent reviews when it came out and one review said "Only a handful of cars on the road have handling which is better, including the Subaru Impreza". Oh yeah and it has a combined fuel consumption of 39MPG - GREAT. That'll do for me! Picture below, Brian

Link to L&V thread on the Nissan Primera Owners Club Stevo, Follow this link - L&V seem to have changed their policy on mods again after someone had the same issues as you. I am away off to Aberdeen to work for a few days just now but speak o you when I get back. Brian.

Well done Derek, Brian

Looks SUPERB to me Phil, I will put it on my rejuvinated Impreza when it returns in a few weeks I will NOT be at the AGM etc as I am working in Aberdeen on Friday and Saturday, returning @ 5AM so if you are up then I'll say hello Brian.

Jon, Try giving C&C custom Stainless Exhausts in Hillington near Glasgow a call. Tell them guitar Brian passed on the details - C&C Custom Stainless Exhausts Brian.

Richard, Can you enable you PM's please on your user control; panel - thanks. Or PM me - I am interested in them. Or email wrxmania@v21.me.uk Brian

G'on yersell Grant Brian

Area has a lot to do with it. My insurance premiums halved when I moved. I could not get anywhere near that price aged 26 and with many mods etc even on a UK car in a cheap area. With the same company too. Brian.

Thanks for that - makes me feel lucky - well almost!!

They are in a classic wagon Simon so the pod would not fit your car!?!?! Brian

YES YOU CAN KEITH!!! Brian.

Sure it will Simon?

Keep 'em coming.

"Just as well you've got another car Brian" said Derek from Nobles - I feared the worst - "It's gonna be off the road for a few weeks". "So, it's not gonna be written off?"...."No way, this is an Impreza - the residual values on these things are too good". Insurance assessor is now paying the car a visit on Monday, and it is to go on the jig to see if there is any more "bendiness" in the panels or elsewhere. It needs: New bumper assembly, new nearside wing, new passenger door (complete as Subaru do not do door skins?!??!), repair to rear nearside door, new fog light, new lower wishbone, new front cross member possibly, new nearside headlight, and anything else which is discovered. The insurance assessor will no doubt try to dumb it down to a front number plate screw and a touch up paint. It is gonna be 3/4 days after the assessor visits on Monday before any panels etc arrive and the total job time will be at least 2 weeks, possibly three. "I know how fussy you are about your car and the work and you know I will not let it leave here until I know you are happy with the job and it is perfect" - Just what I like to here. So, the car will be on the road again - NO mechanical damage and NO structural damage. Just shoved at the side, courtesy of a big rock, that has shoved the wing in, smashed the bottom of the bumper and pushed the drivers door out. The bonnet should be OK. Just need to save up for my excess and increase in insurance payments Brian.

Yes - oh yes!!! Brian

Thanks John, Hopefully I will be on the road again by then. MAYBE ?!?!?! Brian

Subaru Santa Crusie it is, organised through SIDC - do any of the other regions have other clubs involved? Good idea involving other clubs for certain charity based events but I understood this to be, like it has elsewhere in the past, to be a Subaru event. Again, like Stevo, no disrespect to other clubs or owners. Brian

Yeah - the trade in price

considering the bottom bit, i don't think i have to reply to that one! >> True

You got some trainers and a pair of Joggy bottoms Dave LOL

Looks very good Stevo - neat and tidy.

Memories? Of what?!? My car before the crusher?

Sponsored now Derek. Good luck!! Brian

No news today

Oh, alright then: "IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT SPOOKS - YOU DUG OUT THAT DITCH AND SMASHED UP THE ROAD SURFACE!!!"
