Default 25,000 miles in a Scooby

Well, today i have officially done 25,000 miles in my WRX since i bought it in August 2007, its been a great, reliable, fun car and i hope to have it for a few more years yet, it has now done 47,000 miles from new so still has loads of life left in it, the only problems i have had with the car since i bought it are:- new clutch, rear strut, new radiator, rear caliper and arb drop links, other bits like wear and tear items:- tyres and brake pads and upgrades like exhaust and wheels.
It still puts a smile on my face as i use it as my everyday car, 50 miles per day to work and back, just need to get the dent in the rear door done this weekend and it will be perfect again.

Blimey! Welcome to my annual mileage

I now have a 05 STi with 74,000 on the clock, all my own work!

So what I'm trying to say, is that if you have a low mileage, clean classic, KEEP HOLD OF IT!
