Thanks for your nice comments. It took some finding, and was lucky (well, even more lucky) to get a low miler too. Agree about the front end - so much more fit for purpose. It has the alloy bottom arms which make the wheels 'fit' the arches better amongst other benefits.

Classic everytime. The BG270 while looking nice, is really just a WRX and 270bhp is dull, not quite enough to bring things alive

Here's my other Scooby - 330bhp Type R which spanks the ride of the wagon (just to stay on topic, my std V3 STi wagon was one of my favourite Scooby's owned)

Using an Evo for almost 4 years and 60k as a daily driver wasn't the best idea i've had in my life.

Money pit. Did you check out my costs? Haha

Let's just say I was on first name terms with the lady at the local Shell garage smile

She even used to let me in to fill up when the forecourt was supposedly empty biggrin
