    Are you sure its not the middle finger? I only get Subaru owners giving me sh*t-eye lol.

    Always liked P1s and really wanted one 4-5 years ago but two things put me off, the insurance - absolutely ludicrus quotes and the other was the engine problems, lots of had rebuilds and usually rebuilds won't last like a factory engine.

    Does looks smart though, wel done and hope you stick around on the forum!!

    I'm jammy enough to have my office 6 miles from the house, which is mostly dual carriageway driving once off my estate, plus the postcode is on my side too!

    The above points are the main reasons for justifying the purchase. Your advice a while back Dan was very good and I factored all those into the decision making process.

    I won't tempt fate, the engine has 94,861 on the clock. My intentions are to keep the car how it is and enjoy it!

    its defo a p1 and not a 22b, both have the type-r chassis but the 22b had wide arches and a lot more. The p1 you got a sticker in your car

    nice cars but if you drive it as it should be driven then you'll need gearbox's, diff's and some new cadburys piston's

    should of got an evo tbh

    Not a fan of Scoobs being an Evo owner kinda goes with the terrority haha
    Used have an STI Wagon a few years went ok but always feared the engine would give up, oil starvation with the pick up being a built in problem!

    Anyways i do like the Classic Imprezza if forced into one either the P1 or the awesome looking 22B.

    Good luck with it, its light years ahead of the Punt, it will actually go around a corner haha

    22Bs are the preserve of the very rich, unsure why mere mortals always refer to them.

    P1s and in some respect TypeRs are the classic impreza for an enthusiast!

    The insurance on the Type R was £250 extra but I don't like the look of it.

    I'm glad I bought it though, I'm really happy with it!
