Default Picked up my new scooby today

Well about a year or so ago I walked away from impreza's after having 2 new age, had a very comfortable lancer gs4 d tractor for that period but after presseure from the missus (her mid life crisis not mine lol !!) we have done a 400 mile round trip today to pick a new wrx-s up from Scotland, its took a while for the hatch to grow on me. Great drive back, brakes are poor though too much travel, but loving being back behind the wheel.

Stunning new motor you have 2 options on the brakes as there are 2 group buys on brakes at the moment

I had a WRXS as a courtesy car last weekend and it was very nice actually, although I did feel like it become a little too unsettled over a series of bumps for me to feel totally confident to push it harder - I hope you enjoy it and may the mods begin!

Thanks for the comments, if I'm honest this should be what the standard wrx looks like, they minght sell a few more, the "s" additions definately made it appealing to me look wise !!

Agree - the rims are great. Plus the tints which pick up the black in the grill. Gives it a bit of menace, which is what is missing from the current WRX.

Any tinkering planned?
