caution "bad words"

i test drove a "stunning" WRX Subaru Impreza tonight ...  got-to admit i was not a big fan of "scoobys" but i'm a changed bloke after tonight  

took it to a local test track and i was given the all clear to "nail it" in no time at all it was a touch over 150,  it's got quite a bit done to it and come's with a print out proving it's 308 BHP "at the wheel's!" (about 360 at fly wheel) the spec sheet for this car is crazy! .. running a 2.5 legacy block, built by it's present owner

receipts adding to more than �6K on work and he want's �4600 for the car

but after a bit of thinking (& my wife telling me about how quick i'd loose my licence), i think i'll keep my E39 and set about cleaning it up

of course it was  

being honest i see scooby's as a modern day MKII escort .. they are everywhere, bag's of fun and no doubt in yrs to come folk will pay silly money for the rare/limited model's. i went for another look at it this morning but for all i liked it i just can't see me ever owning one?

think i'll just keep my plan's to buy a E39 M5 later ... once ive got me a E30 convertable    

I've got a McRae era '95 JDM WRX and I can safely say I never tire of it

It's just so sharp & tight despite it's age.  I just can't fault the grip, handling & power.  Bang for buck it's got to be as good as it gets. 

Admittedly the mpg is poor, but that's no real surprise, and servicing is way cheaper than an Evo!
