Hi everyone,
I purchased my 2.0 GLS back in April on a bit of a whim, at which point it promptly popped its radiator. Finally got it back up and running last week, with a new cam belt, water pump and thermostat and so far it’s been brilliant. I’m honestly so surprised with how nice is it to drive.
It’s far from perfect and certainly isn’t going to win any prizes for originality, but it doesn’t look too bad from 50 yards and seems to get quite a bit of attention as I’m driving around.

Thank you!
I keep finding myself reaching for the keys more than my Legacy, which I never really imagined would happen

Re: Hi Everyone
Pictures need to be hosted off site.
Using Fotobucket, Post images, Flikr etc.
viewforum.php?f=70
I upload all my pictures from my android mobile.
I do not use a PC, lap top, iPad etc.
Oh - and a belated welcome.
As you are using this log-in, I will delete the other one - to save us both confusion.

Oh yes, thank you. I signed up when I first bought it and completely forgot I’d already done it!
Re: Hi Everyone
Only half decent picture I have so far. I’m off to the Haynes breakfast club meeting in it tomorrow so hopefully get some better ones
Re: Hi Everyone
Looks to be a decent one 
liking the wheels.
I'm not sure about that front splitter though looks OK from a distance.

Re: Hi Everyone
It’s all fairly solid, which is the main thing. Yeah the front splitter is pretty ropey. I was told by the previous owner it was used in a charity banger type thing and was turned into a Cleland btcc rep (which I’m tempted to redo myself).
