It was the 996 Anniversary Edition, but it just never scratched the itch for some reason I think it was just too clinical and soul-less if that makes sense.



I'm toying with the idea of an older air cooled…..slower but hopefully full of character and I can tinker with it. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

The air cooled are a good classic but also drive like one too. Plus cost as much as a 997.

It's definitely an inch I need to scratch but I'll either have to cut the kids legs off and stick the dog under the bonnet or wait till I have my mid life

996s are cheap as chips, Daz;

Decent aircooled 911s are upwards of £20k and now pre impact bumpers start from £40k! With most in the £60-80k range

This is the one car I with I'd kept , told the lad I sold it to, to give me first dibs to buy it back, not expecting him to call 3 months later as he couldn't afford to run it! (I didn't have spare cash at the time either!)

Prodrive pack and a group N paddle clutch, it was a rocket

^^^^^I bought one of those back in 2000, Brand new, same colour but without the Prodrive pack. Then i had a drive of the P1, and that was it, i had to have one. So my garage was full 2, Impreza´s Sold the dark blue one on its 3rd birthday and i haven´t come accross it again.

Hi Ady, that one was a MY00 as well, I personally imported it from Holland, the exchange rate at the time meant I paid £14000 new!! It replaced an early (95) white turbo, which I gave to my Dad. All he did was change the oil every 6 months and he traded it in 2 years ago, bullet proof! The blue ones clutch went at 5000miles hence the change to a paddle clutch.
Your P1 looks ace, I always fancied a 22b as a keeper!

Thanks Dave, A pal of mine has just sold his 22b Type Uk As you probably know, there were only 16 Type Uk 22b´s brought into the country. He sold it for 32k.

This is like Scoobynet revisited...

Oh, I don't know about that, I never like the newage stuff, but bought the last of the wagons, only to find the new hatchback grew on me and wished I'd waited 6 months!

This was my last one

I'm probably being harsh Dave.
But it was "soft" in comparison to the MY03, and considering it had an additional 0.5 litres of engine capacity slightly underwelming (when you consider the other hot hatch style cars were closing the power gap significantly).

It needed 400 out the box, with low cost modding to around 450. Then the Impreza name would still have been the earth shaking force it was in the 90's (compared to other equally priced cars). I took on a friends Audi S3 (270 version) and the German was more than a match...until I got mine mapped that is...

A friend has an inported RA with 40k kms on the clock.... he's going to dry store it for a few years and make a killing  RRS gone

Great photo, Waylander! Is that in Essex?

I have many regrets, but my XJR really was the puppy - low mileage and immaculate even down to its delicious lambswool rugs!

well blow me that's impressive! It is indeed in Essex (or rather was - the pumps have now been removed ) On the old way from Wickford to SouthWoodham

Jees I must be getting old, but i saw a BRG XJR yesterday and it looked damn good. I like that one Ilard - should have kept it !!
