Default Another car for the collection

Well as all my vehicles are rwd i thought as winter is here a 4x4 will be good.
A Subaru WRX UK300 number 81 of 300 with PPP pack, never had or driven one and am very impressed overall, slow as shit but handles like no Ford looks cool i think and ltd edition, for 3k i thought not bad, very good nick except some scatches easily sorted, very full history with new engine 15k ago due to owner running it whilst over heated! Bring on the snow!!!!

I run an sti daily but an import twinscroll, but they are superb in bad weather and very reliable. Needs a few mods to make quick though as the ppp on uk300 is only about 240bhp. Mines 340 and minimal lag due to twinscroll. They are thirsty though.

Apparently only 95 left of the 300!!!!
Not sure on mpg as the bloke gave me a full tank of fuel too!!
Handling feels great, very basic inside though, the special edition suede interior is nice and the seats are well supportive but its not like the S600

I thought PPP was a bit more than that in terms of power? Lol obviously not

Always loved Imprezas both classic and newer style ones. Awesome machines.

I bought a uk ppp for my pops in November. Apparently they didn't make many wagons?
Having allways disliked scoob's I was pleasantly surprised by it. I had intended on using it for a track toy but the old boy loved it so he now has it to lug his fishing gear all over the country for his competitions.

Phil,
Nice car and you get alot for your money, but I didnt think a PPP would be slow.

Maybe you just wanted it for the 'Gold wheels' so you could be more like Rainbird.?
lol

Hope you've fitted winter tyres, otherwise that 4x4 will be no use in the snow!

Phil, never seen pics of the boost Yamaha? I know you are into proper bikes like the 916 , but not a bad bit of jap crap as far as WSB/BSB history goes, always had a soft spot for them in the Witham/Mckenzie era, get some pics up of it

What happened with your plate, you never replied to my texts?
