I'm drunk, but 50k for an Impreza is tits. No matter which way you look at it. Cheers Grant

True but the 22B came along when the Impreza was iconic... and every petrol head, rich or poor, wanted a piece of the action. Unfortunately times have changed and the status of the Impreza has dropped from that level. That said, with only 75 being made, its got to be one of the most limited edition cars produced.. which should keep residuals/status high. Cheers, Grant

£50k for an Impreza... I know its limited edition, but, jesus christ thats GTR territory!! Cheers, Grant

The standard brakes aren't bad Stevie Rollo... from the pics it looks like yours could maybe use a refurb?? The standard 4-pots are known to need an overhaul after a while, Ciaran on here does them on an exchange basis. Decent discs, pads and braided lines are plenty good enough for fast road work with standard 4-pots in good condition. Cheers, Grant

I don't think a mapped Hawkeye STi/RB320 would absolutely leave a new Focus RS, it would be a good race (probably with the Imprezas coming out on top) if both cars were being driven properly IMO. Cheers, Grant

I saw you mate.. well, I saw the Red 360 Spider (MCR) and recall seeing an Evo closely after!! The RS is impressive on the whole, the torque it produces is very impressive, pulls cleanly in 6th gear from c1500rpm onwards. Cheers, Grant

Nope, wouldn't have been me... we took the Bridge of Earn to Gauldry back road home from Perth around 1630ish. Cheers, Grant

Brilliant weather, sorry I missed it now!! Saw quite a few of the cars coming back into Dundee... was on my way to Perth in a Green Focus RS and noticed a few of the cars I'd seen at SIDC Knockhill Events before. Cheers, Grant

North Isla Street behind DC Thomsons/Arnold Shark Nissan on Kingsway are decent and reasonably priced too... talk to a guy called Paul in there. Cheers, Grant

......thats a great shout, you could be right, the plate does look familiar. Cheers, Grant

Nice one Rollo son... car looks tidy. Welcome to the world of Flat Four, whats the spec on the new car then?? Cheers, Grant

My comments were about the people that run John R Weir, which is the company that suffered these tragic losses... so I'd say I'm loosely keeping things on topic. Plus, since the OP chose to engage the comments in his own thread.. surely its ok to stay and discuss further if required. Cheers, Grant

If these stolen cars have been taken from the Weirs directly, then I won't try and pretend that I'm unhappy about whats happened. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of individuals IMO. However, if these cars have been taken from another dealer who will have to claim/foot the bill for replacements or even worse, private individual(s) who owned one or both of these cars then its a real shame and I sincerely hope that they are found quickly and still in the condition they were lifted in.. Cheers, Grant

Would love a Z4M Coupe... a lot like the one that the guy who recently posted up here about changing for an Impreza had?? Imola Red with CSL 19s........ BIG fan. The Roadster is a little camp, but it'll be easier to hear the engine with the roof down and nothing beats going for a blast with the wind whipping past, the sun beating down on you and a huge blue sky above you. Cheers, Grant

The GSi came with 3.0 cams as standard, thats partly what boosted the power over the 'normal' V6 in the rest of the range. I actually quite like the idea of a facelift GSi Estate as a smoker for the dog... can't think it'd be cheap to tool about though. Cheers, Grant

£2500ish if its a good one... Cheers, Grant

This will DEFO have been asked (maybe even by me?!), but I'll ask again, what have you done to your tail lights Brian... it almost makes the rear lights of a Hatch Impreza bearable!! Cheers, Grant

Thanks for the comments guys.. I am pretty pleased with the car to be honest, puts a big smile on my face the way it is. Will stick up some more pictures once I've had a chance to give it a proper clean and polish, all I've done since I bought the thing is to give it quick wash overs, then get back out driving it again!! I said that I wouldn't use it much and that it was a toy........ but the novelty hasn't worn off yet, so its been used almost daily?! Glad its mint underneath Frank, always a bit of a gamble buying a car without seeing it on a ramp!! Rich, it'll probably see the track at some point mate... but it'll need uprated suspension, roll bars and brakes etc before I can think of that happening, its on standard stuff just now, which is a little close to its limit as I found out on the way back from Crail on Sunday!? I 'tested' the standard 4-pots to their absolute limit and they came through, just.. So, it'll defo need uprated stuff if I'm gonna be pinging around Knockhill lap after lap. Cheers, Grant

I was too jealous to pass comment on Facebook when I saw your message to Scott... Cheers, Grant

What a lucky dick. Cheers, Grant

Happy days then, when are you heading through?? If I'm around when you drop it off or pick it up, then I'll fire up for a blether and no doubt some banter from Stu and Breh-nn. Cheers, Grant

Hows the car stand just now Kev, is the engine in bits... or has it just let go and is all still bolted together?? If its in bits, then I'd fire it back together (not properly, but just enough to appear normal), remove the ECU and report it as a non-starting fault.. when the guy comes out, I seriously doubt that he'll be ar$ed to check over all the electricals etc and will just put it on the flatbed and take The Nouveau Ninja through to ShedMotorsport for you. Cheers, Grant

Yea your time was impressive, you were one of the few boys that seemed to give his car some proper stick off the line too... couldn't believe how many 4WD cars were pu$$ying about and crawling off the line at what sounded like 2,000rpm?! Go hard or go home, thats the best way!! The wee mans grin was MASSIVE mate, we commented on that as you were rolling up to the line, he looked like he was seriously enjoying himself!! Cheers, Grant

lol @ complex.. that word makes it sound serious and motorsporty. You not got AA cover? Or have someone you know with AA cover who could say they were a passenger when it stopped working, then they can get it recovered for you? Cheers, Grant

Stu being a lazy fooker and not coming to you Kevman... terrible chat, tell him to get his finger out and head to Perth in his taxi!! Cheers, Grant
