Good evening one and all, I used to be a regular on here back in 2003 onwards when I bought my new Blobeye WRX Turbo. Alas, the constant sickness produced by my dog whenever we went out in it forced me to rethink, and 6 years after buying it I part-ex'd it for an Outback!! Having seen in Evo Magazine that the WRX STi is returning to the UK, I'm just pondering how best to acquire myself one so, here I am, to get excited about all things Subaru again :-) Steve

I took my '03 WRX in to what I generally consider to be a 'decent' tyre/exhaust place today, for a new battery. There was a delay as they had to go and get a replacement fuse which one guy said may have already been blown, and another guy said that the car will not start without (so must have been blown by the mechanic as I drov the car in there). They replaced that anyhow but now my radio has no power. The cigarette lighter works which one fitter said is normally on the same circuit as the radio. Any idea how easy it would be for me to resolve this issue, without having to take it back to the garage? Cheers Steve

I didn't see the car, but did see Jackie and Ed walking (swimming) Jess...... Nice to see you again - Hope you used those towels thoroughly before Jess was allowed back in the car

It's that time of the week again......

Yeah, I noticed the amber light on the dash as they were chasing after someone. I meant to check whch light it was but I figured it wasn't good

Thank god they didn't............. I'm a qualified first aider and all I've had to do in the last 18 months is put a plaster on someone's thumb!!!

I've just been following a classic Impreza driven by a young lad with his mate in the car. When he saw me, he obviously thought that I was up for a race around the streets of Swindon. As we were approaching a right hand turn ahead, near a row of shops where some teenagers were sat, the 4x4 two places in front of him started indicating right and pulling in to the filter lane. Laddo in front of me decides to hammer it up the road, on the right of the car that was about to turn in to him, on the wrong side of the bollards. The VW Golf that was behind the 4x4 must have seen this and decided to also hammer (on his side of the road at least) along to try and beat him. I sat back watching with visions of the two colliding............ fortunately they didn't!!!

Hi Caz, Hope things are going well. I never attended any of the Santa Cruises, I'm ashamed to say, so no pictures but just thought I'd say Hello Steve

I used to be on here loads back in 2003, when I bought my Blobeye. Backthen I started off as Steve77 but changed forum name when I got my personal reg...... Now and again I'll come on here but the days of posting on here all night are long gone Steve P.S. Still got the same car

Police Interceptors The latest documentary series about catching bad people in fast cars From the promo photo, they have at least 4 Imprezas and 2 EVOs. Should be good. Steve

Good morning, I'm on the verge of arranging my insurance through Keith Michaels due to a very competitive quote. Before I do, has anyone on here had to make a claim with them? If so, was the 'after sales' good? I'm currently with L&V who are excellent in my view, but I don't wish to pay the additional £190 that they want. Thanks Steve

Thanks lads. I was definitely going to give the car an oilchange before the two trackdays, but perhaps I will go for the full service now. Then get an oil change again after them both. Steve

Any other opinions on this, lads and lasses? Cheers Steve

Perhaps I should go for the GSX-R750 then..............

Nice bike! I'm 6'2" - I've still to try a CBR600RR for size so would it be comfortable enough? I've had a CBR600FL and FW, but bikes do get smaller all the time......... P.S. I'll be in the SLOW Group at Castle Combe
