What you think ?

Will keep me going for a year or so and will then be able to look at a facelifted 350z or similar... :)

I like it, but is this as well as or instead of that previous heap?

(not a huge fan of Subs especially the Forrester)

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

Long story but seeing as you asked ;)

Had the Impreza for a year, was a WRX not an Sti and really loved it, we then  got a dog and seeing as the wife hadnt gone back to work and we only had one car I got the Forester. Wife has started work again so need a second car so have got her dog/family friendly one (Renault Modus - dont ask)

So Im free to get something else - was considering a 350z or the like but when this one came up I couldnt turn it down as Ive always wanted an Sti and this one is well sorted..

...phew

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 (:P) poor mans sports car!!
