New wheels on the 'wagon'

Well, I've been bitten by the modification bug once again and decided to get a new set of wheels and tyres for the car as 2 of the original tyres were past their best and probably wouldn't scrape through the MOT in July (that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!)

I like the fact that the car is reasonably understated and shocks people when it tears off from the traffic lights! Not that I let the boy racer in me come out at every set of traffic lights of course!! Because i didn't want to give the car too much bling, i opted for BK 299 wheels in an anthracite finish....

Scoobie doo!

We've been looking around at estate cars for quite some time as we could do with something big enough to chuck the dogs in, along with the camping gear...

I should have gone down the sensible route and bought a diesel estate or people carrier but that's just not me!

Instead, i started looking at Subaru... I really like the idea of a Forester S Turbo, but have always had a soft spot for the Impreza. After looking at quite a lot of them, we decided that the Impreza Sportwagon would do what we wanted.

We've ended up with a 2002 Bug eye Impreza WRX with Prodrive Performance Package (PPP). This ups the horsepower a bit and unleashes more of that unique rumble that reallt appeals to my ears!
