  1. Do you mean easington in co durham? If so i like like 5/10mins from there. :)
  2. I moved house at the weekend, so without internet till the 11th nov. :( I did see a black xv earlier today though. Got a bit excited lol. Theres quite a few scoobies where i work in darlington actually. Ive been seeing the same black wrx sti about. I even saw a pre facelift mk 4 legacy saloon, plus a few outbacks.
  3. Moving house this weekend. Christ its hard work!
  4. Looks lovely! Although, does it look a bit small?
  5. I got overtook by a WRX STI on the A1 North this evening. He was doing about 70/75 in a 50 zone... Then I saw a Tribeca! I was like wow, wtf is that!
  6. was driving along today, was two lanes merging in together. I was in the left hand lane and some **** in a vectra tried to block me from merging in! He knew the lanes were merging, yet he tried to force past on my right hand side. lol he didn't succeed though, as he bottled it. vauxhalls eh
  7. hmm, wonder if we could camp on site over night? that would be pretty decent. Will try and email the organisers and find out.
  8. Yeah it was a really nice car mate. The tax is far too much though, far too much to justify.
  9. oh I found it, I found the outback I was looking at the other day. Or atleast one of the outbacks. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201407115739780/sort/pricedesc/quicksearch/true/page/1/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/fuel-type/petrol/radius/1500/make/subaru/engine-size-cars/3l_to_3-9l/usedcars/postcode/sr84ta?logcode=p on that note... anyone got 15k they aint using? hahah

    I think there was two at NBO earlier this year. Looked pretty nice! I'd have one! Although, am i right in thinking they are only 2wd?
  11. thanks for the advice mate, I'll probably just go with some new tyres or something. rather be safe than sorry n all that !Removed!.
  12. I'd love a 3ltr legacy. I love my 2ltr, but a 3ltr would be awesome. Sadly, I expect it would be too much to insure and tax. Maybe my next legacy / outback will be a 3ltr. Be nice if they do a 3ltr engine on one of the new models?
  13. Ah i see, thanks chaps.
  14. I've got a legacy saloon. It's flippin marvelous. I love it. :) i'd say either a legacy estate or an outback would be a good option. Although, if you want/need the higher ground clearance then go for the outback. I do find my legacy is quite low and rough farm tracks can be a little be awkward. But other than that its !Removed! lovely.
  15. It was the dealer near the Ikea in Ashton Under Lyme. The manager seemed pretty sound. I was hoping he'd have had a few older/2nd hand fozzies as my folks need a new car, and a 2nd hand foz+auto would be perfect. The manager said they dont normally get second hand subarus in as people tend to keep them rather than buying a new car after a few years. And no it was the soon to be replaced outback. It was lovely though, the seats felt amazing and it had all the goodies. I didnt catch the price though. He did say that the new outback would be about 30k though. I'd certainly like one of the fozzies, however, the boot space for the outback was unreal!
  16. Went to a subaru dealer yesterday, just to look at some subaru's. Ended up having an hour long chat with the manager about subarus. He had a a 3.6R legacy, was nice lol. But I was more interested in a new foz or outback. The new ones look really nice especially with all the goodies inside! Missus Gr7 was checking out a few foz's and Xv's. She come away saying she wants a subaru, but couldn't make up her mind between a Foz or an XV! Mission accomplished! She even suggested that we could get a new scooby (for me) and she could drive my legacy.
  17. you think? hmmm, not sure whether to risk it or not. Rather play safe than sorry and potentially damage the car somehow.
  18. Hi guys, I've got 215/45/17's my mates got a set of 215/50/17's for sale. So can i switch from 45's to 50's? I find i feel alot of the bumps on the roads, so was wondering if going up to 50's would east that a little? Would this cause any problems with my speedo? thanks in advance edit, oh i looked on this site. - http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator Scroll down, it checks the difference between the two sizes. In this case, it says "Difference in diameter: 3.52% Actual diameter change: 22mm" and "We recommend a MAXIMUM of +/- 2.5% difference" maybe its not such a good idea. mmmhhmmm
  19. yeah count me n the missus in. I'll bring a camping stove for bbq and brews.
  20. I'll be there! YAY Camping! And NBO aint bothered if you set up a BBQ.
  21. I've found a place that is near work, Exhaustafix in Darlington. - http://www.exhaustafix.co.uk/ it does say they do custom exhausts too, - http://www.exhaustafix.co.uk/custom-made-exhausts/ It says that they do pipe bending? Correct me if im wrong, but that's good right?
  22. wow that's pretty annoying, but as they say everything happens for a reason.
  23. ooppps, double post somehow.
  24. Well, all the diesels were 07 onwards. But like you say, i'd have to run a diesel for years to make the money back. I have thought about a 3litre version, But then i'd have to get a 3l spec b lol. Either this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201410027891137/sort/default/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/postcode/sr84ta/engine-size-cars/3l_to_3-9l/radius/1500/model/legacy/price-from/1500/usedcars/transmission/manual/page/1/make/subaru?logcode=p Or this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201406275340637/sort/default/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/transmission/manual/make/subaru/radius/1500/engine-size-cars/3l_to_3-9l/model/legacy/page/1/price-from/1500/postcode/sr84ta/usedcars?logcode=p Both of those would cost me far too much to insure, tax and run. Never really thought about converting to LPG tbh, will have to look into it? Do you lose any power?
  25. I've just been looking at getting a diesel outback, legacy or a foz. I have a 60mile commute to work and back, so a diesel would probably make sense. Unfortunately, it looked like it would cost me best part of 10k for a decent one with low mileage.
