Default Finally........05 WRX STI (Now with pics!)

Well, after wanting a WRX since I was about 13 and never actually doing anything about it, I started to get serious this year. Spent the last 6/7 months looking for the perfect car, and on Wednesday, I picked it up

05 WRX STI in the classic WRB, all stock, no mods and low kms (40K). I had it inspected by David at STechnic who said it was one of the cleanest, well maintained STI's he has seen come through their garage, which is always a good sign! The previous owner has taken very good care of the car, and it shows, so I hope to keep it in the same condition.

Since it's my first turbo car, I am still getting use to when the turbo/boost kicks in etc, and plan on attending an AHG driving course to learn how to better control my car. Hoping to have some pictures up this weekend after I go for a nice long drive. Still can't wipe the smile off my face!

Hope to see a few of you out on the roads, and no doubt you will see me around, keep an eye out for a WRB peanut with STI868 plates

EDIT: Finally took some pictures today, though with my phone so not the best quality, but you get the idea

40kms on an 05 sti. He must have been selling it for crack price! Nice work on the buy. I'll be sorting out RAC days in the new year

A nearly new 05, you can't get better than that. Enjoy.
