The main reason for letting it go is lack of use and the urge to try something new as I've been around the Subaru scene for a long time. I want a car that can sit out on the road and be used daily for a bit of fun or popping down the road not stuck in the garage waiting for nice weather and unable to park in public car parks etc.

Looks lovely mate, wish mine was as clean. I was thinking of selling mine a few months ago but decided to keep it as I knew I'd regret it. I've only done 890 miles up till last years mot and just over 2000 this year, but I do try and drive it at least once a week, always puts a big smile on my face

The guy who came around today had a Evo 8 and we had a look around each others cars with a view to doing a swap first time I've driven a Evo and I have to say I was really impressed with it!
He is keen on a deal but I'm still deciding if to or not
I had a guy a wanting to view tomorrow but that won't be happening now until he's back from holiday.

Because the Evo isn't in as good condition as the P1 plus I'm too fixated on letting the p1
Out the garage if its raining, where as the Evo will be parked on the street just like my old bugeye was.

I know what you mean but if you sell it then it could become daily drive for someone to enjoy after you've kept it looking so nice for them. If it were me I think I would rather use it and enjoy it rather than sell it and let someone else enjoy it just because I didn't want to get it wet.
I can be the same with mine sometimes especially after I've a had a good cleaning session on it but then I try to remind myself it's just a car and it can be cleaned again. . I agree about the parking though. I can be a bit picky where I leave it to avoid the door dingers.
