I tried speaking up in your defense but, if you want it that way, heres some items you should buy:

Quote from: Eddyou had an impreza before the friggin forester! youre nuts

I agree, not interested in going for something a little more prestigious than the barry boys racer?

Barry Boys? Do you know what a Barry Boy is?

Theres a difference between driving around in a prestige car with aftermarket upgrades, as opposed to Barry driving a Nova with a Aiwa home hifi in the boot, and bean can shaped like an alloy induction kit under the hood.

And i mean cmon, your calling Bartop a Barry, yet you drive around in a Mazda Mx5hit () poor mans sports car!!

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  

If you were over here youd have to reverse your comment. All the spides (chavs) here drive imprezas and evos.

Looks well, too slow though

PS, that fuel pump wont be up to much more.

Your southern ireland arent you?

Do they follow MOT standards or can you just drive any sh*tter evo around and get away with it.

Serious question  :?:

Im not to savvy on laws for southern ireland, i thought it was something like the US.

Northern Ireland !!!

South is full of gypos driving rustbuckets and wild horses

The MOT here is much, much stricter than on the mainland UK.

Like Japan then?

Oh i dont know why i thought you were a southerner.

Ps did you bid on that starion ?

No - the seller couldnt answer basic questions about it

Had the same this week, found another a4 turbo, only this one had the sport wheels, sport steering wheel and interior, i asked him if the car was a sport or standard model, he replied "oh i think its like some touring model", i just thought oh man just read the logbook , i then asked if the cambelt had been done cus it had hit 80k, he replied "I think there is a receipt somewhere, I will confirm" the listing ended im still waiting for confirmation  

Get another A4 with the 1800 Turbo 20v

Or get the engine, and get it in a Mk2 golf.

Yeh thats the one i had before, i had the earliest b5 model on an M plate, with 60k original miles, was a really fine car

Ive not said the MX-5 is prestigious, its cheap and sporty which is why its a best seller. Better than my old Clio. You only said its sh*t because you cant fit in one

Point is, despite the price tag the Imprezas ARE common as muck - you might not think so but every arsehole with a bigger exhaust than his brain has one. They are the prestige of the Nova brigade once they hit 25 years old. Not that Im implying Bartop is at all like that, his Forester was very nice and wouldnt fit into that category at all.

I was pointing out for the money he could have something less common and a bit less likely to bring on the comments above. I just dont think Imprezas are good for anyones image. They are the sort of car I would have liked when I was 17, now I look at them and think "what a knob that must be driving that"

Hey i can get my legs in one!

Like an MX5?

It doesnt matter what car he drives, drivers fall into groups, the scoobies, the nova neds, the bmws etc, and they all have opinions about each other

I think he should buy a Proton, best car ever made!
