Using as a daily, 10k miles a year. One or two driving holidays a year (Scottish road trip etc)

Car shows and commuting.

Blobeye WRX - modified to 350BHP, rebuilt with STI block, vf34, mapped and checked over by Bob Rawle.

Terzo - rebuilt engine, otherwise standard.

Both owned by proper enthusiasts. I've had a Blobeye before along with a BRZ.. preferred the BRZ. Using equity in my current car to free up some money and buy an Impreza before moving out.

I like lightweight. I like good handling. But I do like Blobeyes.

Insurance on the Terzo is £600, Blob is £1000. Cost to change, Blob is £1500 more to buy and insure. I know it's down to personal preferences, but I've never had a classic. Do they hold up? Which is the better buy.. kept for 2 years with hopefully no major major issues and normal maintenance..

Thoughts? smile is the Terzo actually a fun car to drive or underpowered?

Well guys, I decided to go for the Terzo. I pick it up this afternoon! Having already had a Blob, I decided to try something different. The guy took me out in it and it felt so raw and in touch with the road, something the blobeye never did and something I enjoy about my girlfriends MX5. We shall see if it ends up being the right choice! smile.
