Car jacking was on the 6th January in Leigh. Wasn't a scoob and wasn't a youngster driving it.

Can't give details but the victim is an absolute star.

Was me in the red one wasn't it? About dinner time?

Nice to hear Andys about, noticed there was a scooby a bit in front, didn't realise it was him, would have done some daft overtakes

Don't worry about it no-one ever spots my 03 sti either, and i am around the leigh area nearly every day.
Seen a few many times near asda, but no-one ever waves back.
Put this down to me being a female in a Subaru.

Oh, I have seen 1 or 2 other black (best colour in my opinion) with gold wheels (same as mine).
Im thinking of getting a newer classic when I move house depending on what cash I have spare. there is a black classic in the for sale section that they reckon is pushing out 400bhp or there abouts with a very good spec list.

yep I know what it is, where did you have the work done or did you do it yourself (judging by your name you could work in the trade)

what sort of costs were involved with it as well as I was toying with building a 2.5 bottom end and then swapping my heads over etc, getting a fmic and a remap on the power fc

Was only joking Donna, wish mine was an sti, mine is an old wrx on a K plate, probably hear mine coming though as it is very loud (in a nice way).

Is yours silver by the way Donna? If so do you have blonde hair as I saw a silver sti nr the hospital in wigan on the 04/01/07

Turbo

do you rate Hyper then? I have heard/read mixed reports about them, I have been in a few times last time enquiring about changing a timing belt (not a job I like doing myself) and also a new clutch. they seem okay and although the garage always seems full, no one ever seems to be working on any of the cars. If they are okay may give them a try with it being local and that, and they say they can map the apexi as well which is a bonus.
Does your 2.5 bottom end use standard rods and pistons or did you uprate them?

I drive down the Lancs to Golbourne roundabout and head towards Warrington down the back roads every day ending up in Fearnhead Warrington.
Yesterday I saw an impreza coming towards me with spakky coloured sidelights as I was heading towards the Lancs from Hermitage Green to the crossroads near the garden centre...
Anyone on here? It might have been a WR1 judging by the colour You were in a hurry Probably off to get those sidelights sorted .

No i have brown hair now, but it's naturally blonde, i drive a mica blue 03 STI type uk REG is RO03***, normally out and about round Leigh area on Mondays and saturdays.
You will be able to spot mine easily it has very bright zennon headlights and blue/white led side lights.
