Wick is in the top right hand side of Scotland - it's only about 15 miles from John O'Groats.

It will cost him an absolute fortune in fuel..

Are you trying to bankrupt the lad before he's got off his feet.

Be sensible and start him off with a small cheap car that's reliable and cheap to run.

tbh, although it looks good and will be a " like mother like son " car , I think the mileage, tax. mot and ins bracket will be a no no.

even though the ins is well below a turbo, it just is too high for a first car. you want to hunt around for something cheaper to insure, cos you just know he is going to have a bump in the first year (if he takes after his mum )

it's probably a UK AWD nasp Subaru Impreza 'GL' auto.

That's what I have, a GL auto... (I needed auto before i get flamed)
<-my scoob

Although i think they did also an auto they badged as a sport...

This is a scooby related thread, I'm one of you lot damn it - turbo or not! hehe

(Jap market catered for turbo auto saloons)
