Thanks for all your loverly kind comments. To be 100% honest I don't want to leave the Subaru fold just yet, so I guess its going to be turbo time.

I have spoked to Gary (Moley) via PM and given me food for thought (sorry could not resist) in insurance prices.

Looks like I gotta find what I want which is...I'll let you all work that one out (wink wink)

Its a typo and I am slightly poor at spelling things, but I am getting better. Its our stupid english language thats the problem... English is a crazy language - .:ImprezaSport.net Forums:.


I have been looking most of the morning and whilst I have seen some rather nice Impreza's non of which are what I am looking for as most have been modded and I want a standard as possible one, low mileage, most are 70k + and are all too far. But whilst I was looking, it suddenly hit me, how the hell am I going to afford to run the car when I am HAVING to go back to University as no-one wants to employ me. Its not as if I have a head of a bull, big chunky arms and called Minotaur. I have quite frankly given up on the word.

So if I start listening to my brain and not my heart, I think the sensible option is to get a cheap banger to get me to and from Uni. Sorry to build your hope up lads, but I got to do the sensible.

nothing wrong with that Darren...better than getting yourself in debt. Who knows, maybe when you finish your Master (?), you will get employed and buy a new GTR

Keep the sport or buy something cheap to run.

My money-

306 diesel

or if I wanted to stay funky

pre road tax mini, saab or volvo if you can find one.

Finish your course then save up and buy a P1 if that floats your boat.

A misspelling of breed, no doubt.

Cheers lads. I just hope I enjoy Uni this time around and not quite like I did before at a different uni. And also I hope I can get a job without falling into the problem of having no experience

I could not possibly do that.

After a restless night thinking about selling my Sport or not and what to replace it with and also that if I was to sell it I would miss out on the McRae gathering. I have spoked to my parents and my parents are going to help me get a 2nd car, probably a pug 205. I just hope they are reliable.

Well Darryn I can't say I didn't expect this, as you have done far too much to your Sport. Yes it's tidy, but it's still a relatively slow Sport.
Find another blue scooby turbo, transfer your better looking bits over. Job done and if you get bored, add power
