Phil Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi all, New member here. Never owned a Subaru before having owned BMWs pretty much from after I passed my test. I currently own an E60 M5 - Attached Im searching for a pre 2000 Classic shape car, ideally an import rather than a UK car, but I'm open to all... Ive spoken to Hursts in Bedfordshire and they have suggested I go out in a few first so I have a better idea of what I am looking for in terms of special editions/different variants. What would you guys suggest I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi! Sweet M5! I only got as far as a E39 540i. So why now an Impreza out of curiosity? What are you looking for out of it, daily, weekend, track.....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an E36 M3 GTii at the same time which I was restoring, so the E39 had to go. I would love another one, M5 though, I love the S62 V8 I want the Impreza to use as a daily. The M5 is a weekend toy / show car. I couldn't maintain its condition if used daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Sound! Hopefully you'll find the right Impreza, Id love a classic. If it was me Id end up loving it too much to use as a daily and before I knew it, Id have 2 for the weekend lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
