Gotta be a bargain for somebody....FSH and new exhaust http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201407015460244?atmobcid=soc3 Almost worth buying as a donor car for the future.....leather, alloys, new exhaust, mechanicals etc etc etc lol

That outback is down to 2 grand now.....no money at all, an absolute steal [emoji54]

Great, thanks Tom. I'm guessing I'll need an appointment so might bring the subject up when they call to say my touch up paint is ready for collection. I can then spend an hour looking round the showroom haha

Cheers mate....one of those things that you hope you never need, but I appreciate it all the same [emoji106]

My black Labrador boy owns me :P - Bailey, 1 yr old SWMBO has plans to rescue another Lab, slightly older and of the fairer s*x lol

Ah - thought you might have been closer mate

Meant to tell you earlier - I'm across in Penrith on Sunday for the Lowther Show with the family, incl dog :P

Thanks mate - I'll ask them when I go to collect my touch up paint in a couple of days time.

Top work fella

I've got the booklet, but no code sticker :( I'll have to have a look in the car later to see if either of the owners have stuck it inside the car anywhere

Ordered a pot of touch up paint today from my local dealer......one or two stone chips on my bonnet I want sorted before the weather turns ;)

It was great.....I had this taxi behind me (vw passat I think) and I was tootling along at 30 approaching where the limit changes to 50. Just before it changes there's a traffic island, so unless you are totally reckless, you have to wait until the limit change to pass. He was showing all the obvious signs of intent to pull out, so I thought here we go, this will be a canny test. Flicked it across, hit the 50 sign, then gave the loud pedal a press. He had dropped back a few metres to give himself a slight run and must have just put his foot down before me. My power kicked in, he was left floundering and had to pull back in, then stayed about 50 yards behind me for the next few miles......THE PERFECT RESULT :D This is THE satisfying feeling I've been longing for since I joined the ranks back in January......feeling so fulfilled right now

Yes indeed, like you said yesterday, noticeably sooner :)

Oh oh oh, that sport mode is a bit naughty now, isn't it...... :D

Normal service to be resumed then mate ;)

Here you go Tom mate - these are the on'e I've bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201123564298?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I took the liberty of looking in their ebay shop for you and found these which may be what you're after?: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-2009-Subaru-Legacy-Sedan-Splash-Guard-Mud-Flap-Set-Black-OEM-NEW-/321458272872?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALegacy&hash=item4ad867fa68 That's assuming you are an 05-09 sedan (in their words lol). I'm not sure how competitive or otherwise the prices will be for you, once postage has been added mate. You'll have to speak to a stealer for a comparison.

Meeting in Newcastle later this morning....time to give the sport setting a workout [emoji6]

How long was it in for mate....thinking mine will have to wait until it's annual service in Dec as can't afford the time off work or inconvenience at the minute

"claps hands in a childishly excited way" :P

Cool And that makes it even more responsive? where do I now 'need to go urgently' tonight I wonder :D :D

Ordered a set of OEM mudflaps for my Outback from the US of A.......even with shipping and potentially import tax, a full £20 cheaper than you can find in good old blighty :) Don't you just love rip-off Britain!

By sport mode, do you mean just flooring it, or switching across to manual shift? (I've not tried that yet - note to self ;) )

Have to say, I'm becoming addicted to watching cars disappearing in my rear view mirror.....a bit too much!

Hope that's soon for you mate (health-wise)......you'll have to share the juicy details of the remap, if and when it happens ;) When pennies allow (and my current exhaust dies) I'm planning on a full stainless system to help the flow-through too :D

It's a mental machine mate - luxury, effortless cruiser one minute, insanely powerful beastly-racer the next. Absolutely, totally, love love love it!! :D :D :D Think that about sums it up :P
