Nick13 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Owdo all, I'm old enough to be most of your grandpa's, but hey, who cares eh? I've always been a Ford fan at heart, but have now owned 3 Impreza's, the latest one replacing a "modified" Focus (RS looky likey) I toyed with the idea of having a wide bodied Type R built, but have to admit SC prices were a bit off putting, not doubting the quality for one second, just couldn't comfortably afford to have one built.........and didn't fancy the wait while it all came together..........so I bought one "ready done" from a nice chap in Halifax!, like you do. I sold my P1 for peanuts just before the prices went silly, that aint going to happen with the Type R........I love it, can't wait to be able to have a bit of wet weather confidence again, something sadly missing from the 300bhp front wheel drive monstrosity I have just sold. Hoping to get to a few shows this summer, Thoresby for certain, hope to meet up with more owners, there aren't as many of us about these days. Out with the old, in with the ummmm older!!!!!!
