Hey
 

Hi people

I'm Gareth from Medway Kent. Currently in the proses of purchasing a MY16 WRX STI. In my eyes theirs only one colour to have it in WR blue.

Think my love for cars come from my dad watching endless hours of rallying when I was younger. At this point im Probably going to make most of you hate me in my early years my love was for the 3 dimonds going up always wanted an evo but now my ideas have changed.

Misses told me to get a sensible family car which is easy to get kids in and out think I've made a good choise.

Should hopefully be testing one on Wednesday. If anything goes wrong think I'm going to start liking at blob or hawk eye stis

welcome to the forum mate, be sure to get the pics up when you decide what to do, plenty of friendly advice available on here!!:five:

Hi Gary, welcome to SES let us know how the test goes :ok:

Hi and welcome to SES

Hello and welcome to the club :wave:

:welcome: to SES fella ;)

Hi and welcome goodluck on your test drive .

Hi and welcome to SES :ok:

Hello and welcome :ok:

:welcome: to SES. :five:

Welcome to SES!

Yay one more sleep till I get to test drive one. Will be my first outting in a scooby and I'll be driving :)

Will post my thoughts tomorrow :)

Welcome to SES. be interesting to see what you think of the new STI but I still think compared to its rivals it's still the most fun and involved drive, if not the most economical! Have fun!

What would you class as a rival for the wrx sti now then. I've alway seen it being just the evo really and you can buy them new now

Unfortunately dealer had to cancel test drive this afternoon due to sickness and colleagues being on courses so rebooked for Friday.

:welcome: Gareth

Friday when completely wrong held up at work and little boy was ill do now booked for 3rd time tomorrow morning. 3rd time lucky took the misses down today to look at it and she approves

Finally tested the car and loved it took it easy as car wasn't warm normally don't have mechanical sypothy for demos but only car I could test is the car I will be taking delivery on Saturday morning :)

Going to be a long week

Nice one, gets some pictures up when you get time after the weekend :ok:

I'm guessing to post pics you have to use an external host site eg photo bucket

That's correct - photo bucket and then post the img link in the text field :ok:

If you go to the new members forum top of page is a sticky from spooky on how to post pics using photo bucket :doubleup:

Only pic I have at min

Looks awesome :ok:

Nice to see one in the best colour! :ok:

There's a lot less of the newer WRX STIs around in WR blue, it just the right colour imo ;)

To be honest only colour I have seen them in are wr blue and that's only 3 of them I've seen 2 at dealership and one the dealer had at Leeds castle last year

Nice:five: really like the new look

Very nice :doubleup:

I bet you can't wait for delivery. Be great to see some more pictures when you get them.

That's 2 new ones now on SES. Tempting to make it a third :lol:

Sssshh.... then we end up hosting the images and it takes longer for my backups to run ;)

Nice... these are definitely growing on me. Love the plate, shame it wont be on that!

No i like the plates have asked if they can go missing as a set of show plates but they can't.

Plate does not bother me as will be staying on 16 plate till march then going to pit a private plate on it

Did want SL16 STI but that is stupid money

As for more pics I will take and upload them on sat or Sunday after I have done the paint protection and treated the interior don't think the alcantara will stay lovely for long if not treated with 2 children under age of 5

Finally got her loving every min of it

This on way ment to stay standard but already planning mods. Only down side if 50 miles on clock and already nice chip on the bonnet stupid gritting lorries

Pics :ok:

You wearing blinkers everyone ive seen apart from 3 have been wr blue :whistle:

I'll keep an eye out for you driving about. Looks nice. The shape is definitely a grower.

Lucky you mate ;)

Not seen many down here but not seen one of the latest shape on the road in wr blue yet!

So after spending a fair bit and the car slowly getting it to where I wanted it come mindless idiot took offence to it and it is now a pile of ash. Yes she has been burnt out :(

no way !!!!!!!

That's awful mate !!

Oh mate, that must be gutting :( :( :fool:

Why are some people such dickheads?! I doubt they'll find who did it if the car was burnt out but if they do, they need their balls chopped off :splat:

She was a beauty.

Hope the insurance process is as painless as possible.

Such a shame, that's sickening, I'm gutted for you.

The mind boggles as to why people would do such a thing...

Sorry to hear about your car, it still beggars belief that their are morons in this world hell bent on making other people's lives a misery. Stealing a car to then sell it on is one thing, but to simply burn it out makes no sense. Hope the insurance claim is processed swiftly.

Makes me a little nervous for my trip back to the UK - I park off road so hopefully it won't get noticed.

That's awful. :sad:

So sorry to hear this fella, I hope they catch the perpetrators, fire doesn't always get all the evidence.

Sorry to hear:(

Gutted to hear this news mate :shock: I really hope they do catch the little :wa: and the insurance process gets sorted out asap for you.

I thought this kind of thing had stopped when scrotes had run out of Metros to steal. Where was it parked?

GOD you must be gutted,I know how I would feel. Hope insurance gets sorted quickly.

Makes me so angry that some mindless moron/s get some sort of sordid pleasure out of someone else's misery.

Echo what's been said and hope it's sorted quickly and painlessly :ok:

Insurence been pain in the ass, fire had nothing to do with the car other then car was mine. I know who did it but after all lines of enquires all charges have been dropped.

Will be back with another scobbie but after complicated reasons I'm not opting for a replacement. Thinking a blob now
