Default Hello from Newcastle

Alright guys and girls just wanted to say hello. As I am hopefully going to be joining the Impreza owners just waiting on my T5 transporter to sell. Then it's the hard hunt for a red blobeye for me. I can't resist it's an itch I have to scratch

Welcome.

Your probably already looking at Spec C's then if it's a red model your after. Not many standard uk model sti's in that colour.

Unfortunatey spec c is out of budget I am hoping to find a wrx. Not got the biggest budget. Maybe £6k. So sti. Is probably out of the question as well . If I can't find one I might have to just vinyl wrap one jobs a good one

Yeah I know they are some red WRX's around. Should get a clean example with that budget.

Good luck.

May be worth mentioning on NESF: http://nesf.forumotion.co.uk/

Just down the road from Newcastle myself (Hexham way), I'll keep an eye out.

My car is there at the mo for a service, with the APs off to Godspeed for a full refurb. Great staff down in Hexham and they love their cars. If you let them know they will actively keep an eye out for you. My wife was after a newish Forester recently and they did their level best to source one.
