| Alright! Just got my first Impreza and travelled to Plymouth for it....a TINY bit disappointed as it wasn't 100% as described - but when are they ever? Few panels have gone a shade of cream opposed to white...but that maybe cured with a polished. It's an STI with; H&S Exhaust which is fooking annoying when doing 7hours straight driving!!! Simtek ECU (although i'm awaiting Roger Clarke Motorsport getting back to me about the map on this, but it has been serviced by them...so looking good. Brilliant drive home, boost is awesome and i've calculated that i managed 34.34MPG whilst sat at 60MPH/3k revs which was nice!! Then i've got to scotch corner and a REALLY strong smell of petrol was coming in the cabin from the rear - there's no damp patches OR leaks (brimmed it too thank god) so carried on home Apologies for the pics but i've been on the go since 6am yesterday as i had to get national express down there at 23:45 last night :-( | |

| it's a V4 then :-) For the others out there... there was a half hour waiting period whilst changing buses at Victoria St London to head onto Plymouth....as i was on the bus for a LONG time i decided to were what my mrs describes as "comfy gear"....ie joggers/loose tshirt & hoody....... but what's been going on in London lately that i completly forgot about? oh yeah - Riots by "hooded youths"..... so there i was bang centre in the middle of london, with a massive holdall with £2k cash in and a change of clothes (was planning to drop into a mates in leeds on the way back up for the night).....so the coppers pull me, ARMED copppers may i add, frisk me - find the cash and in their infiniate wisdom do a 2+2= 3.16555 and assumed i'd sold the stolen goods and was heading home. all this happened whilst i had a loaded gun pointed at me and a fat sod copper ITCHING to use his new pepper spray......they said i looked suspicious, so my reply was "look, i've been up since 6am yesterday morning, got on a sodding boiling hot buss at 23:45 with screaming kids and cackling hen party and had at the most 20 minutes kip....im hardly gona look like a fookin oil painting" to which they laughed and strolled off | |
