lol, you really have to feel for the bloke, I bet he is actually a nice enough guy just totally feckless with cars.

112,000 is quite alot for a car of that age is it not though?

Just a thought, this isn't the high mileage RB320 that was sold by our friends over Keighley way a while back is it?

Same neck of the woods...

This alleged RB320 has been discussed on the RB320 owners club a few times!

See here - http://www.rb320ownersclub.co.uk/ind...showtopic=4212
There's a couple of sub thread links, due to it being for sale a few times!

Believe it or not this isn't the first time I've heard someone say their impreza has a porsche boxster engine.
A chap tried telling me his 95 wrx had one and no matter what i said he still insisted his car had one as did mine. I ended up agreeing just so he'd stfu.

I may be wrong
