Any of you edinburgh boys got a 250bhp (ish) UK (modified, obviously) Impreza?

Next question: Would you mind taking me for a wee blast down the bypass and perhaps some twisties so I can get a feel for what's available - I would of course cover your petrol costs, etc!

Figure you sub 20mpg boys need all the help you can get To help save for the scooby I'm now trying to keep the Saxo in the 35-40mpg zone.

Why just a UK ? Is an import too fast for you

No, I'd love an import but I do 25,000 miles a year and will struggle to run a UK much less an import which gets less mpg (I assume) and needs serviced more often, etc.

Alas, I doubt any car could ever be too fast for me, that sucks!!!

Import MPG and servicing is the same AFAIK, maybe even better MPG round town due to being lighter. In fact the UK's are known for running rich, especially if you tune them. (which you need to )

Impreza and economy are not normally found in the same sentence

Sure you can have a run in mine sometime Let me know when you're next down in Port Seton.

I'm working nightshift at the moment, Next weekend would be OK.

You may consider taking a run up to the AWD SIDC members day in Perth this weekend. There will be a few dozen modified scoobs there I expect. The odd demo run may well be on the cards

Yes, a certain Black EVO has had a good view of my back bumper down the length of Crails 1/4 mile Oh and a well known White one on the road to Knockhill You know who you are
