Yeah things are fine with me buddy, got rid of the M3 for a Hartge/Birds 335i... which was a massive mistake. The 335 lasted 6 months before I sold it, running a 540i as a stop gap at the moment as I've ordered a Golf R... but reaaaally trying to justify a Classic as a toy/track car!! How are you getting on mate?? Cheers, Grant

Yup, the DBM with 6-speed... the new owner has gone a vastly different route with the car, which is a shame given that non-rotten classics are getting harder to find. But hey ho, it's his car I guess!! Good news on the car sale. Cheers, Grant

Saw your car on PH earlier mate, pretty much an ideal spec'd classic and very similar to my last MY00 actually. But it's outside my grasp at the moment.. however if you fancy chopping a chunk off the price, let me know. Cheers, Grant

Does Gav still work at Grieves, semi-off topic I guess... so apologies. Cheers, Grant

7 years to reply... that's more late than I've ever been JC, haha. Cheers, Grant

Have just seen on the news that Chris Groves and his son Connor died in a car accident on Saturday... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-25703054 Chris owned a Catalunya with white raceline wheels back in the day.. participated in a few runs and even when he sold his Impreza, would always be happy to see you and make time to chat at Knockhill/Shows etc. I'm really shocked by this news, my thoughts are with his family just now. Cheers, Grant

I'll be there, will be heading through from Dundee. Cheers, Grant

Ahh, bollox.. can't make the 29th as on holiday for a week from 28th. If that date is locked in, then I'd still like to donate to a charity if someone sets up a PayPal or JustGiving link. Cheers, Grant

Definitely not required, otherwise I'd not have suggested it on page one... since I am also Scoob-free at present. Cheers, Grant

This is taken just before a run which turned out to be one of the most enjoyable car-associated days I've had... and a big part of that day was spent trying to hold onto the back end of Simon's Bugeye in the 'mentally unhinged' group up front. It's a shame I never got the chance to thank him for such fond memories. Cheers, Grant

Such tragic and sad news, Simon was a fantastic guy. Spent many an evening talking to him and listening (mainly listening!) to him talk about various parts he had bought or was thinking about buying for his flying Bug... and had some fantastic runs both regional Fife and bigger Flings with him. He is going to be greatly, greatly missed. I will keep an eye on this thread for any funeral arrangements or if that ends up being overseas, any memorial run/event in his honour. Rest in peace buddy, you were definitely one of the good guys. Cheers, Grant

It's a bloody nice car mate. After driving the car back this afternoon... the temptation to buy another Impreza is growing stronger with each page of Pistonheads/Autotrader that I look at!! Cheers, Grant

Me too, absolutely sh!te update so far IMO. Cheers, Grant

lol. Cheers, Grant
