As some of you know, I've been looking around for a 360 for awhile... wasn't having much luck finding the right car but then heard from Tim at Walkersport about someone looking to sell a car in pretty much my ideal spec!

Did the deal and picked it up yesterday!!! biggrin
It's in lovely condition with great history and am absolutely loving it so far and can't believe it's now in the garage!



P.S. A big thanks to Tim who has been really helpful during the whole searching/buying process with nothing being too much trouble. Although I didn't buy the car from him I would definitely recommend using Walkersport. He even sorted out a couple bits on the car for me late yesterday evening while on my way back north.

Here's hoping for a bit of decent weather before the winter arrives!

John - this talk of Lambo's is all bluff. Kim was giggling like a kid when she booted it past you smile

She has seen the light.

Hi Justin & thanks for the message.
The car is lovely and a credit to you both. I'll certainly be looking after it well - it's been a long time coming.

Looks good. I remember when mine was that clean ha ha.

TdF Blue is the best colour by far - suits the fat hips of the 360 much better than rosso in my opinion (but then I'm biased! wink)

See you at Hopetoun next year biggrin
Yeah I really wanted TDF. I was admiring yours on the HH at Golspie so very happy to have my own now!

Will definitely be at Hopetoun next year.

Not mine as it's at home in the garage - I hope! Not an 04 either, but don't see many around in that colour though.

Not sure if we'll be taking it to Skye Steve, depends on the weather!

Am going to try and not be too precious about it!

Don't mind a bit of rain (we live in Scotland!) but personnally can't see the point in taking it out if the weather is really bad. Just no fun and would rather use the Impreza. They have got a bit of a rep for being a bit lively at the back and I hope I know my limits!

Mike just take it to Skye, you can drive a little slower, it pishes down all the time in Scotland you may as well get used to it. Nice protective wax and you'll be fine.
I'll be taking the 911 on cups regardless of the weather and would be rather upset to meet up on the Sunday and the 360 isn't there frown
Unless the weather looks really bad we'll bring the 360 smile

Don't mind admitting I'm no king of oversteer and others are braver/got more talent than me!
