Cool Where Old Scoobies Go To Die!

Just come back from a week long trip to Somerset/Devon ..........

and I found the strangest Subaru Dealer I can imagine - in the village of Dulverton.

In an age of New Flash Showrooms and the smell of cheap aftershave from the Salesmen its a pleasure to see this garage, in a small village, in the middle of nowhere .... no flash showroom, just an old country garage!

And what was in the field over the road from the garage?? the death field of old scoobies thats what! on a picturesque riverbank lay an old Boxer engine Axles and gearboxes adourn the nearby hedgerows and Legacys and Justys can be seen between the marigolds and daffs!

I only saw 2 Turbos .... this is a place where the yokels drive Subarus over mud strewn fields and abuse them without thought!!

Brilliant! and the Dealer?
