I like that grill!

Much nicer than OE isn't it...PomBstard mentions it in his thread too

You called...??

Indeed - looks so much better than the chrome tatt, though I always thought it was a bit like lipstick on a pig as the Gen 5 ain't a good looker to start with

Got a few more bits on their way too...very little available in the UK, so all Jap auction sites. Which are filled with temptation.

I joined up back in 2010...posted in March this year for the first time

I assume the car is in the yard in the UK now?

Not yet, landed at Zeebrugge on Thursday, and due to be transhipped to Southampton on 20th June...I'll chase the Shipping Agents tomorrow and see if they have the name of the next vessel available yet.

Heard from shipping agents, due Fri/Sat this week in Southampton...so potentially with me in a week or so. Maybe.

Still not seen one in the flesh either...so I'm mostly excited

Landed on Saturday, I've just paid the customs charges...just waiting to hear from the transport company to arrange drop off

I have now seen an Outback variant...it was a bit of a minger

[S100HP]

Have you got it yet?

[trails]

Arriving tomorrow morning between 8 and 9.

I think I’m getting excited…too bloody busy to give it any real thought!

It's here




Much cleaner than I expected, the interior is absolutely immaculate. Everything seems to work, including the lady shouting at me in Japanese for some reason or other



Tyres look like they will pass an MOT but look old, so I need to check the manufacture date.

Only driven it up and down the road so limited first impression, but the steering feels nice, very quiet and refined inside...horribly over-assisted brakes though.

Lots of paperwork, including FSSH and a spare key.

What is the floppy disc thing on the dash to the right of the steering wheel?

Toll card thingy...will be removed when I swap the head unit over.

Mine has that built in too. Quite reassuring when she chats to you in Japanese as you start the car

I may have slipped out between meetings to have an investigate...need a new trim bit without the cut-out

[S100HP]

Any sign of the V5?
