I've only ever bought one copy as I haven't had my Subaru long and I just stumbled upon the mag when on holiday six or so weeks ago. I thought it was pretty good as far as car magazines go. No wonder I haven't been able to find it again.....
Did they do Total Kit Car Magazine too?

Usually find myself reading my sons Fast Ford and Performance Ford magazines and they are a surprisingly good read with contributions from Stu off here.
If only there was a similar Impreza mag that was of the same interest and quality.

I must admit I stuck to getting them from the shelves in the local. I read the mag regularly and it started out quite well with a few good features, but I mostly only got the later ones for Alan Jeffery's column. Went down hill after Peter Cambridge stopped his articles IMHO.
The technical features were the highlight, too many pages devoted to blinged up classics.

Get them all to the NBO 30 June 2013 and we will sort them out in the ring
I always found that the TI competition was only successful for people that had loads of friends in a club
If you were a billy no mates with a fantastic car that noone had seen in the fleash you would have no chance in the earlier stages

If you paid subscription on your credit card you will be able to claim it back from the credit card company
I'm not sure I think PayPal will be the same as it goes through MasterCard /visa
Debit card holders are the ones that lose out as 3/4 p in the pound isnt much TI get back and you will wait a year
Never pay by debit card for anything always credit card so your protected

2. A lot of companies add £2.50 or whatever to the purchase cost if you use a credit card. That can add up compared to the relatively few times you might want to make a claim.

It's a shame to get that far and not finish it!
I'll supply trophies for first second and third.
I have no connection with Total Impreza other than scribbling on behalf of somebody called "Mr Grumpy".
I'll try and get hold of the man from Total to see how far he got, failing that, we'll work something out on my Facebook page, or here on Scoobynet.
Or both!

saying that though ive also seen a lot of the cars in the comp in the flesh and god knows how you would choose between them.
im not sure impreza idol is fair anyway as some are self built and others have just had money chucked at them, which in my opinion isnt the same.
maybe needs two categories, self built and cheque book built.

And when I'm not in the garage I'm at work earning the pennies to buy more parts, it's a real labour of love

its a little unfair to put the two builds in competiton with each other.
maybe needs a self built catergory and a tuner built category.
great idea by alan to keep the competiton going though.

The home built vs tuner built seems to me as its only Clive's car that will suffer
Little unfair IMO. I'm all for a built not bought car, as mine is completely self built.
However, an Impreza is an Impreza no matter who built it and surely it would be up to the voters to decide???

yours would win either category anyway
