Hi All,

Not really sure what to post in my first thread, but here goes..

Im a 39yr old Subaru fan who has wanted one for about 15 years and finally managed to convince the wife to allow me one about a month ago...

It's a 2004 WRX in (proper WRC) blue with a stupendous 51,000 on the clock! Since buying it I've changed the spoiler for a proper STi style one, added the WRC 2004 graphics kit and changed the alloys for gold ones. Some may say it's a mid life crisis but what the hey?

Have to say it's the best car I've ever owned but Jesus, where does the fuel go?! It's tucked in my garage most days and nights and have to keep old faithful Focus for normal use...

Any advice/hints/tips would be very gratefully received!

Look forward to getting to know a few of you a bit better.

With a name like that you must be a very law abiding citizen . Welcome to a forum of unlawful fun.

Welcome from a fellow mid life crisis. Turned 40 this year and had my first Scoob for a month now. You're like me, leave it in the garage as a toy, no way I could use mine for the daily commute althou it did come out to play today.

Welcome to the forum, just started my mid life crisis by buying my Scoob.

Had to be a wagon for me as it is my daily driver.
