Ha I get mixed up with facelifted Foresters - I've put a photo up to my profile of the lass. Yes I think thats a facelifted 55 ?
Its been a fab motor - up and down motorways during the week and then eating up forest tracks at the weekend. I bought it with just over 50k on the clock. 60+k in 3 years and all its needed is a couple of drop links, 2 new wheel bearings and a new exhaust. That was the fun bit - never been so excited buying an exhaust in my life. I need to change timing belt but if I'm gonna trade it in in next 6 mnths maybe not.
Was looking at 08/09s as possible next car. I prefer the looks of the older model and defo the performance. Shame they dampened the acceleration of the newer models. Would be tempted to get newer model as long as I can restore the need for speed with a wee chip modification. I love the look of the beemer drivers when they can't shake off the strange red rectangle staring at them in their rear view :)
