The hawkeye looks great in that pale metallic grey cour
Its blue. The metallic grey is nice too and have seen them in black. Best cars around!
Being an Evo owner I'd have to disagree
hahaLove the old school Speedlines on your car!

I'm currently carrying out a 'rolling restoration' on a 1989 G plate E30 BMW 325i Touring. Wonderful motor, great drive and becomes a right laugh in the wet, no fancy traction control gizmos, just the way i like it.
Money pits
I had a bill for just under a grand yesterday because the AYC pump had failed and it needed a service (again)Feels awesome again though now. I'm sure your Impreza is the same, but the grip levels in these Evos are mental

2009 Seat Leon FR, 2.0l Common Rail TDI, 170BHP & 258lb/ft of torque. In black! More than enough power to keep up with & surprise the likes of Audi's & BMW's & still good for +50mpg. Has the chassis, build quality & reliability of a Volkswagen, but with stylish Spanish flair. A nice match!

Just swapped my Insignia for a VW Scirocco 2.0 diesel auto GT in Candy white thanks to my beloved dad who passed away recently and left me an inheritance. Beautiful car, very pleased with it. Still got my Landy Def, but sold the Disco.

I am the only one in my family that does not drive
Between them there is the following, Discovery, 1964 SWB series II landy, freelander, vectra, fiesta, scooby and not sure what my eldest has.
Good job they can all repair them, themselves, even my daughter can put together a landrover engine.
I should open my own garage !!

Daily is a 1998 Passat tdi110, just about run in at 215000 miles
On the drive is a resting (rusting!) ex army FFR 1984 Land Rover 109 2.25 petrol (for restoration although looks like a new chassis will be needed),
an unmarked 95 V6 Ford Probe (retired until petrol goes down) a low mileage 96 Volvo T5 estate (also waiting for petrol to get cheaper lol) and a nice 51 reg MG ZS180 that i'm looking after for a mate....

I have a 9 year old Mondeo.
That will not come as a surprise to those who know me.

At the moment, I own a bike since I'm at uni (I don't need a car at university, plus I'd have to pay for a resident's permit since my road is a residents only area), and nothing else
Although when I graduate I'll be looking for my first car

Nah, it's a pushbike. The bearings are worn out so when I leave university I'll either try and sell it or get rid of it for free.

Or you could just re-grease or replace the bearings for about £20ish
(Assuming their the wheel bearings and inner/outer race taper roller bearings..)
Ball bearings are about the same price though...

After driving several cars since passing my Test back in '85, I recently have gone 'car less', the MOT/Tax was due out (and was looking at £450 minimum) so as I walk to work and the car could sit outside for 4 or 5 days and not be needed, I realised I didn't need a car anymore, so it's gone to the scrapyard in the sky...but the Girlfriend has added me to her insurance to drive hers
Best of both worlds me thinks
(The cars I have owned have been as follows; Ford Cortina MK111 estate/Morris Marina Estate/Austin Allegro/Ford Escort Mk111, 3 of them/Citroen AX/Vauxhall Astra/Rover 400)
P.S The Devon and Cornwall Railcard gets far more use now

I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris Zinc in black which is very nice and is called Madge!
What I would really like is a Mitsubishi L200 Warrior, one of the new shape ones - awesome vehicle.
