55 years of driving....must make him in his seventies so why is he still working with his highly paid job with a final salary pension??
Ah, bet he was driving before he could walk so he's only 54

Didnt we deduce that Pete only bought the Honda for 2 reasons...
1 Because it has ***** shaped door handles
2 Because it has ***** shaped door handles

Brecon Beacons is definitely much better in Summer, but enjoy the captivating peace and the natural wonder, as long a the fog doesn't play it's tricks in this weather. Have a good time, Pete.

I'll be looking out for these Impreza's ..... they're fast, but all huff and puff - no real pulling power - not like a Diesel Turbo.
Remember that I've got 10% more cc's working away than the 2.0 Impreza's, and it counts on the real roads, in the real world.
Anyways - give me a hoot if you see me ....... I may be way in front though ...... but I'll slow if I see you

Well I've got a Civic Type-S CDTi and my mildly modded Impreza would destroy it in any real road environment. The Civic runs out of go very quickly. Great daily drive though, does good mileage, tax/insurance is cheap, it's roomy and ultra reliable (so far).

But - let's compare apples with apples .... modify a Honda Civic diesel and then we have a totally different beast and will knock most Impreza's into the weeds in real road driving in the real world.

All you are saying here is that a modified Impreza will beat a standard Honda Civic diesel .... erm, I wouldn't argue with that.

I do feel sorry for Ting Tong being in such a position!
I back your remarks on all the torque etc., My turbocharged Mini Clubman D has similar performance to your machine and it does well over 53 mpg too on short runs! Goes round corners like nobody's business too-especially in the wet!

Arrived here in the Brecon Beacons ...... I'll let you into a secret - I got 62mpg over the 135 miles!!!
62mpg - yet still snaps your neck off!!
£100 Road Tax and £150 Insurance ..... it really is a no brainer!!
Anyway - who owns the Scooby sat outside the VUE Cinema in Merthyr Tydfil ..... with its front numberplate inside the windscreen - anyone here??

Anyway Rob no point arranging for his car to disappear as he will have forgotten where he parked it by the morning.
