Never thought of those, will give them a look! Any pitfalls with the engine to look out for?

I've also started looking at MX5s, though all the ones in my budget are st hehe

I'm looking forward to getting it!

My only worry is I was hoping to buy an Impreza in Feb/March, and I might be at risk of not wanting to get rid of the E39 hehe

Can't go wrong for the money.

I've always had a hankering for a MK3 VR6... I know the mk3 was never a great hot hatch but I think they look great.

Ours will fail on ROT too...MOT not due until Feb but it is off the road and going to the scrappy in the sky as it has been made surplus to requirements.
It's a shame they rot so easily, as aside from rot the car is absolutely fine (albeit a bit dented)

I've been looking at a suitable replacement, either a Mondeo ST24 or a cheap BMW E39
