#348 joins the fold
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:40 pm
Hi all, I have just bought WR1 #348 from Alastair at the Performance Car Company in Portsmouth and am thoroughly enjoying learning all about these special motors! It is my first Subaru having come from a line of rwd cars (Chimaera, Cerbera, 350z, VX220T, RX7) but having had a little fella on New Years Eve I needed to swap the RX7 (track focussed, ~500bhp) with a more usable motor for the hum drum of normal life (impending nursery runs etc) as well as weekend fun and track days to sit alongside our Alfa 159 family wagon.
#348 has only travelled 29k miles and I am the second owner - it is in immaculate condition and I intend to keep it that way! The previous owner only did ~300 miles in the last 12 months and maybe 900 miles in 24 months... so it has not had a lot of use - I don't think I could leave it sitting in the garage that long without wanting to go for a run!
A mate of mine has a P1 (owned for ~9 years) and has invested a lot of money into it at Roger Clark Motorsport so I will most likely head up to see them for servicing and maybe upgrades at some point as well (P1 runs AP brakes all round and they are awesome - will have to see how I get on with the standard Brembos...).
Anyway hopefully I'll get along to a few meets or see other owners out and about - I live in St Albans!
Cheers
Ross
