well weve just purchased a realy nice 2003 subaru forester, selling our beloved WRX i swear my hubby will have a tear in his eye when it does go out the gate, but we saw a realy good buy from a guy in palmwoods car has 10grand worth of stuff done on it alone without just the car being in such good nic.

pick it up next week round about friday only has 114,000 klms on it and doesnt have a mark on the paintwork guys wife wanted a prado (much to my disgust lol)

we are very much looking forward to getting this new vehicle anyone knows someone who may like a gorgeous looking fast 2000 model wrx give us a holler.

planning to go to the top end leaving night before my birthday next june another
crew from subaru club coming with us by the looks of things its always good to have
some one to go with i reckon ,should be a hoot got me stickers for me little camper ready to go on thanks to the webmaster what a great job they do.

im EXCITED lol

I had the 2003 Outback and would have another tomorrow if their tug capacity was up around the 2000kg mark.  At 1600kg and a low ball weight It's just that little bit down sized in my opinion for pulling a reasonable van / camper with all the junk one carries to go native .

Possible the best vehicle I've ever owned barr none . The new diesel looks the go. Mate has one but they  still have that restrictive tow capacity otherwise I'd have one as well.

Word of advice, get rid of the Geolander tyres if they are still on it , great ride low noise levels but a dud as far as mileage on AWD's

Happy motoring
