Default Banstead Stig's Scoobs

I had previously put up some pictures of my FSTi, before the Forumgeddon, which are no longer on here.

Since then I have made a couple of minor changes and there's a new addition to our stable, so I thought the time was right to put some pics.

First up, the FSTi... it's a 2006 with 37k on the clock. I've had it almost two years. Currently virtually standard, just a few tweaks as noted below, but a bigger one on the way






Out in the snow...



I decided to tidy up the centre console, as an interim measure before getting a decent double din unit in there.

Before:


Not very attractive or tidy. Certainly not to my preference.

And now:




Decided to fit some braces to sharpen up the handling...







And 'finally', until the new year, this arrived last week and is awaiting fitting...




Now, that's my car done. A fortnight ago (just under) we traded in my wife's Yaris, which has faithfully served us for years and replaced it with this...






A 2005 wagon with PPP (a bonus that was confirmed after we bought it). Needs a proper detail, tints and a few other bits and pieces, but it came with FSSH, 67k miles and a decent file of receipts for a very keen price.

It needs the rear struts replaced or refurbed, but they are not in dire need.

Hopefully it will also serve us well.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers chaps.

I love the Forester. Hoping to get a remap in the new year to unlock some more power.
I like having something a bit unusual.

The wagon now has some added darkness. Sets it off nicely I think.
