They rare round your way?

Every farmer cunt on earth round here has one still it seems, there honestly FIVE in the nearest scrapyard to me right now.

And yes, Impreza/Legacy stuff goes in no problem, twin cam (rather than quad cam) flat 4 engine and similr 4wd setup as standard.

And yes, they nice shape/looking pickups TBH, like a mini El Camino Brumbys fucking rule, I fancy saving one from the scrappers as a new project.

You might enjoy this small video...

(also that proves old man Clarkson didnt invent the calling things "stuff" and "things" when he dont understand/care about em either, lol)

Stavros i live in the m4 corridor - there are no fucking farms around here. only shit hole towns like slough, reading, bracknell etc.

i come from norfolk though, and the farm where i lived used to have these, but they got wrecked pretty quickly. that was 15 or 20 years ago though, and i don't think i had seen one since then until saturday

if you know of any that are tidy enough bodywork wise but mechanically fucked, i would be very interested
