Hi chaps

Did a deal for me BMW , and tell yer what it bloody fly's ... Jeez . I Think
it will take a bit of getting used to as you bearly touch the accelerator
at it takes off :shock: ... lol

Yes i seem to get big cars dunno why just turns out that way !

Its Automatic as its an import . Manuals are around 6.2 secs 0/60 and i
think the Auto's are aroung 6.8 or something like that .

Insurance was a pain though £438 TPFT :evil: but i'll shop around once
it runs out in March ..

It has a nice Subaru Rumble from the Zorst but only subtle so i'll have
get a after market one as the Zorst is standard at the mo !

Yer every ones telling me to leave it as it is . As in no gold wheels etc ..
Dunno what to do , Was gonna lower it , WRX Zorst and gold alloys but
dont know . I'll see how i feel when the time comes... Could do with a new cv joint and the brakes bleading properly .. but other than that jobs a gooden !!

:D

Thanks Justin , Well you can pick them up dirt cheap . £1500 gets yer a
94 - 95 on an L or M Reg mint with aroung 65,000 Miles on the clock which
isnt bad for a 280 BHP car !

All the imports seem to have low miles on them although mine has 90,000
miles but its amazing how cheap these cars are for the performance .

Ive just seen one like mine for £700 . 60,000 Miles , Just imported in . Just
needs regestoring for the UK , and MOTing . And the insurance is lower
than an impreza as its not classed as a sports car .

Also has more power than a Impreza as they are single turbo with 215
BHP unless you get a STI or WRX etc .. Even then the top Impreza's only
come standard with 280 BHP the same as the Legacy but with the Legacy
you have about £200 cheaper insurance and less chance of being stolen
as not many people are aware of them .

Well worth looking into if you like fast cars for little money , Although
only bad thing is they are expensive to repair so getting me Timing Belt
changed which is £150 just for the kit . Belt , Tensioners etc , and just done a Diff , Engine and Gearbox oil change to be on the safe side ..

Oh and expect around 18 - 23 MPG but other than that jobs a gooden :)
