Sold my Impreza, it goes away on friday night, i like it ... a lot   but i miss having some comfort's/extra's all my impreza has is A/C and elec window's. i'll deffo miss the power though and i don't see me ever having a car to match the performance? 

what next??

BMW or another Jap performer??

desicion's, desicions  

so for now i'll be driving my E30 cabby full time (untill it sell's to?) i'll also miss out on Loudoun this weekend with my local car club  as i don't think my E30 is any where near being good enough to be a show car?

jesus that was a short ownership period!  car that good eh?

how about a legacy, do they not the use the same engines as the impreza but a bit more upmarket? (i.e. more creature comforts)

you guy's are kinda in the right area ... ive already worked out what i'll be driving next & ive already picked out "thee very car" i'll be going to see it on monday and all going as well as the seller say's i'll be have'n it

it's still Jap, it's a twin turbo (supra is to small inside) it's a 310BHP,4 wheel drive saloon and it's not a subaru  ..Oh and to make it even harder to guess, there are only 3 or 4 of this version in the UK. the very car i'm going to see was on ebay a few week's ago but the seller wouldn't sell it to the buyer as the buyer was a dealer and the seller didn't want to see or hear of it for sale with a big mark up on the price.

i'll let you have a guess at what it is before i tell ya'll

my impreza was kinda "head hunted" from me  the soon to be new owner was so imprezta with it he just kept offering me cash, i wasn't looking to sell it just yet but it just wasn't grabbing me the way most of my past car's have.

when i tell you/show you the picture of the car in question, some may know what they are and some may not? .. but you will all know the more suttle version  

here is another clue: ive owned one of this type of car in the past, but not the version i'm looking at   (i owned the suttle version)
