I thought i'd join up as im considering an Impreza in october. Im currently driving a CTR which has been fantastic but I crave more power and a DCCD! I'm put off by the servicing costs of the Evo and the Elise/Exige so the Impreza is top of the list

My budget will get me a year old STI, maybe stretch to adding the PPP. That way ive got the reassurance of 2 years warrenty. Whats peoples views of this car.

I have no knowledge of ownership so expect alot of questions. I hope your all as friendly as the guys and gals on www.civictype-r.co.uk .

 

there are a few of us in the area mate, in fact plenty, there is a specific herts subarus site, or there is us www.sox-japoc.co.uk that caters for everything jap as you obvioulsy like them going from a CTR to an Imp

welcome!

 

Whats the Herts Subaru site?

 

Hey . .Your not by chance the Black Type R I few months back raced down the A1000 in Barnet bound Potters Bar . . . .Did u get yr car Alan Day/Whetstone??? MAte . .When you get the scoob, enjoy it . . I bought my first Scoob only last year! . .In my limited experince stay clear of London dealers! I would sggest stay conservative and get a Blobeye Sti with PPP . .Some good deals going on those I believe . . And make sure its BLue!

 

No not me im afraid. Wilsons in Chelmsford have a good selection of STI's at the moment and they are main dealers for Lotus and Mitsubishi so I can try all cars out if im parting with close to £20k. I don't mind travelling to find the perfect car. Blue does look best IMO, I don't want another black car, too hard to keep looking nice. I'll be tracking the car so expect the running costs to mount up! Just got the small issue of insurance 23, 3NCB 0 points..touch wood. Greenlight are great insuring CTR's but I spoke to Neil and he said they can't insure me because the car is over £12k. I'll be trawling the insurance section for a while on here!

 

speak to gary moulson at keith richards, his numbers in the insurance section.

think the web addy is www.hertssubarus.net

 

where are you based? im in hitchin...

 

Thanks and thanks

 

no problemo

 

Little village near Hertford, so always around Ware/ Hertford/ Hatfield and St Albans. I've been at Uni in Hatfield for the last 3 years, graduate this summer so job hunting...and car hunting

 

Hi Mark

I am in Ware and am a member of the SIDC and Herts Subarus. I guess you have already found our website? You should come join us for a meet where all Jap cars are welcome! - please see www.hertssubarus.net.ms and register to get full access!

 

I work part-time in Ware Tescos so if you see a black CTR in the car park..its mine Been on the herts subaru but looked like I had to subscribe??

 

Do you mean Keith Michaels? Keith Richards is in the Rolling Stones Looks like my 1st port of call for insurance, most mainstream companies will not want to touch a 23 year old in a 300bhp STI

Stanstead Abbotts, you welcome to come along to our CTR meet 7pm 21st May @ The Sun pub in Hoddesdon. There's about 15 CTR's at the moment, the guys and gals from the Bedfordshire area are even making the journey down for it.

 

Is everyone welcome? Equally, all the CTRs are welcome to the Herts Subarus meet. Previous meets have hosted Evos, 200SXs, Suzuki Ignis Sports, even trackday weapon Golfs!

 

Yeah, you'll be out numbered by CTR's though

The venue has changed though, its same time and date but moved to the Fish and Eels in Dobb Weir, there was a parkin issue with The Sun pub.

 

For your shopping or a space in the car park . The shops getting another re-fit soon btw.

 

for barbecue food - normally she controls the shopping side of the house!

not a problem for parking any more, now i drive a focus

 

The BBQ is the mans domain!
