So update.

Anyone with half the ability to read will notice that I was umming and ahhing about selling this thing.

On the one side - absolutely loved the car. So much fun to drive, looks great, has been utterly reliable (despite being left with a few niggles from previous ownership, the car NEVER let me down, and having sorting them recently its been smooth sailing)

BUT - I was afraid to drive it hard. I dont have a reputation as a dak dak killer for no reason. So every gear change is a cringe, ever rev out is a worry, etc etc. It kinda sucks owning a performance and being afraid to use it. Plus 80% of my driving life is in peak hour traffic to and from work, then to or from social shit in the inner city. I dont get a chance to enjoy the car for what it is made for. Plus I knew there was a plethora of people just waiting so they could say I told you so.

So I thought to myself I might sell, and upgrade to a bug eye sti - they really are a performance bargain. 207, 6 speed, brembos etc.

But life doesnt always goes to plan. Atm I need something comfier than a Subaru with stiff suspension and exhaust etc.

So I have sold it, and will probably just buy a boring non turbo forri or lib. The new owner is 17... but has his head screwed on. I hope it brings him as much enjoyable trouble free motoring as it gave me. Will actually get used on track, with some decent rubber on that car he is going to embarass some of you.

Then I began thinking about how much I can give/take from perth wrx given the car is gone, and actually started typing Dave a pm requesting my account be deleted. To be frank, the levels of moron, circle jerk, stupid shit chat etc have gone through the roof lately. Even being point blank rude doesnt seem to get the point across for some. Take your mother fucking ooohs and aaaahs to fb, or sms, or do it face to face in real life. Even catching up Ive known a decade socially becomes painful because others will start discussing the forum. Fuck me, make a post, whinge about replies, then sook, then talk it about it offline from the forum.. surely life has more to intrigue people with? So I figured I would just get the fuck out and not try to deal with it anymore.

But there is some good people on here, as evidenced by a catch up for lunch on Fri with 5 of the (not surprisingly) older members, and then Sat after the bakery with a couple others. Once you wade through the ton of bs there are good people here.

So I deleted that pm for now. Plus it is quite likely I will end up in a performance Subaru of some sort when life gets back on track. Plus I will no doubt want some shit for whatever daily I buy.
