Subject: Finally I got one ( with a lil bit of compromise) Sat 1 Jan - 21:25
Just wish to introduce myself as a new and very proud owner of an unabused totally standard 05 subaru impreza wrx sl wagon! At the tender age of 33 I have kinda managed to convince the better half that this would be a good idea as our first born is at anytime now due to make its first appearance into this crazy place we called earth! I have for a donkeys age now being trying to get some sort of greenlight and make a case so as i could go ahead and make a purchase of a impreza to no avail until the snow started and as her BMW has been sat on the drive since the snow began my case was never at its strongest, the only compromise is that it was the wagon! I hope to over time add little tweeks here and there and hope to gain valuable advice and contacts from you all and also get to meet some of you! I will in time add some photo's etc. Laters all, Dave aka the-muttz-nutz!

Well done. Get the pics up! Don't tell the better half but on my tyres it's terrible in the snow! I am guessing that's due to the fact it's super grippy in any other weather though. Don't worry. It took me till I was 34 to get one (last week) and I can't believe I waited so long. It really is a fabulous machine.
