I saw someone taking a picture of one of these tonight on my way home, it (and yours) looked brilliant. I don't think it was you as you're profile says you're far too far away from me but it was definately an RB5
My brother has a chaved impreza in this shape and seeing how good some of them looked from the factory makes you wonder why people bother changing things.
Lovely car mate

That was me mate! Took a trip out to kirton this afternoon to take photos at the observation point near scampton, small world eh? Thanks for the kind words 
RB5230, they came from the factory orange, all turbo2000's had them!
Tempted to get clear lenses and colour code the vents but for now, I actually quite like having the orange, I think it makes the car stand out more, so many people have changed them
Edit: heres a pic of my Dad's Turbo2000, way back in 1999, dug out these pictures after taking some of mine He wouldn't admit that his spoiler wasn't that much smaller than the WRSport one on the RB5, he's had to concede now

Small world indeed. I nearly stopped to have a closer look at the car, but then realised that you taking pictures in the middle of the countryside and someone approaching in a battered passat might seem a bit odd to you.Great car.
oh yeah a secluded spot, you with a camera and me with the opening line "hi I'm darren, from the internet" that would have gone down well.
I think I've seen you on other forums. I used to be obsessed with Peugeots and I see you've had a couple too. ... Now that doesn't sound freaky does it?
Not having a car worth hooning for far too long now I don't know about any runs out round this way I'm afraid. I think the Yorks lot might occasionally do something.

Daylight photos at last! Got a serious addiction to this car. 
-Obligatory Smilie!
-Bit OCD, but this isn't technically the correct centre cap. I just liked the Prodrive/Subaru in the same picture.
- All mine! not bad for 21
The insignia is my company car and the BMW is mine, but is being sold to a mate.
very good for 21 dude lol, better a less blurred pic tho, be a nice momento to have all three together. lovly car tho dude, lovly.

Yep, she does get looked after! We should sort out a PH meet up in Lincs/south yorks, like a breakfast club or something.
Slight update, I'd been enjoying the car loads, its awesome. Took it on the Rally GB on thursday, and it was great until friday evening, when the immobiliser packed in, meaning it wouldn't start.
So, we managed to squeeze all our stuff (and ourselves) into various mates cars, and the RB5 got recovered to a local garage, who couldn't fix it, so its at Subaru in wales now. Apparently its fixed, a new ECU was required though, just got to wait until the weekend to go back and get it!
For the 2 days it worked, it was a brilliant choice, comfy (to sleep in as well!) quick and the roads around south wales are awesome!
Edit: and the BMW went last night! I'm a bit sad, but my mate will probably have a thread on here soon about it!

I've PM'ed you CatsPyjamas
Little bit of an update for you all, mainly pics of me hooning around in the snow!
Picked the car up from wales last weekend, and was intending to take some pics with the lovely scenery on the way back, well, I got to the M5 and realised I'd been having that much fun I'd forgotten to stop for photos, arse.
But it was a great trip, and even better to have the car back after a long week without it (I wasn't even at home, so couldn't have used it, but still missed it!)
So this weekend I 'arrrv been mostly playing in the snow!
Pitiful amounts of snow Friday night, enough to make the backlanes (and even A roads) interesting though:
Woke up saturday to find a much healthier dose of the white stuff:
- the door is open here, its not a bad shut line
- I may or may not have done a few laps here 
Apologies for the image quality, they're off my new HTC, and that doesn't cope with dark very well. Uploading them to facebook doesn't help much either.
Cheers,
Jimbo
