Does anyone buy an impreza now or have one because thea have been inspired by the legend Colin McRae?
I grew up loving the fearless 555 legend and always wanted an impreza, and bought one as soon as I could insure it!

I don't think this is the case anymore
I don't think there is a better looking car or better sounding one at that than the series McRae!

Just wondered other people's thoughts

 

Richard Burns, and the stunning RB320 for me.

 

It the same, amazing drivers and love them both!
It's just the whole rally car look/sound that I love and has always inspired me about imprezas!

 

Brought mine due to that, I got it at 21 when I could insure it, played the Colin McRae games as a kid, tho most people I work with have no idea who he was

 

i have had imprezas over nine years and am no way a fan of mcrae

 

Richard Burns also won the wrc in a bugeye which also deserves some credit .....

 

Colin McRae ps2 games were the best!
And I'm not saying everyone is a fan of McRae ,
It's just you don't seem to see many rally looking scoobs anymore.. You know with the big exhaust and graphics... Looks amazing IMO

 

and he didnt kill himself,his kid and two others crashing a helicopter without a licence and flying too low and fast.

 

thank **** for that, this a GOOD thing

 

I think many bought the classic and bugeye shapes becuase of the rallying heritage, but times have moved on, Subaru are no longer a force in rallying and haven't been for years and let's be honest the current (soon to be dead in the UK) Impreza is about as far removed from those glory days as it's possible to get!

 

I think we all know what happened .....

 

I do have a bueye at the moment sooo lol
Looking for a looked After low mileage classic in the next few months though And think, I'm going to go for the whole rally look

 

So what we gonna call the forum then ??

 

also it not the rally look, its the **** look

 

No, Burns didn't

Wrong WRC driver

 

no mcrae did read the original post i was replying too

 

To be fair no they aren't such a big part at all anymore.. But have been and I'll always love that .. And the looks of the cars. And I don't think it is a good thing Tommy.
I know most are driven by chavs thinking they look good, but that's not all

 

nothing worse than a impreza covered in rally stickers

 

Doesn't read like that in post #8

I know what you ment though, just joining the Scoobynet pedantic brigade

 

so you have a bugeye, im guessing a wrx.
your going to plaster it in stickers in tribute to subarus loooong dead rallying triumphs and you think you wont look a bellend driving it around??

 

**** look lol! They look amazing and it's about 70% of stickerd up subarus that have made people have a stereotypical view of all classic owners with graphics on

 

Some WRC decal kits can look ok if done properly, but please DON'T add a fake stick on roof scoop.

 

Lol no I don't think the bugeye can get away with the stickers like the classic

 

its the 70% of the stickered up sh1te thats ruined it for the rest of us owners that spend the money on proper mods like remaps,turbos and coilovers rather than stickers and fake roof vents

 

theres 1 round here with orange wheels covered in yellow stickers and hes about 50 and he has his name and his wifes or his bitches name on the rear side windows........really

 

worrying isnt it that grown men feel the need to do this to a car, the name thing is even more worrying

 

Dont know about that. McRae used the Hawkeye in the xgames and Travis Pastrana and Ken Block both have used the Hatch for Rally.

 

Yeah that's what I'm saying Tommy.
I'm not one of those.. I just love the rally look and wul also be spending money on proper mods

 

his wife name that what really got to me lol

 

Ken block is amazin in that hatch btw!
