I paid for it :) ...and no doubt will be doing all the work on it too (though I don't mind that bit so much :) )

But yes, the 2.8 is quite good fun, especially with the ASC switched off (even through it's an auto box - Charlotte chose the gearbox, I chose the engine :) )
More fun than an x3 as well :D

I'm part way through getting rid of my 'spares'. I have a full spare M Interior (currently for sale), and another set of standards seats which I'm in the process of breaking (one is just a metal chassis, and a box of bits and the other is still complete). Then there is spare centre console parts, bulbs, gaitors, switches and lord knows what else... Oh, and the original 16" alloys and headlights...

Before I started the clearout I filled my cupboard under the stairs... :ymblushing:

Yes and no, the X3 has a 3.0D lump up front so is about as quick as the Zed... more tricky to powerslide though :))

You should see my shed... went through it the other day and as well as a bunch of parts I'll probably never get round to fitting to the Impreza, I discovered a load of parts from cars I've not owned for years - ARB drop links for a 205 GTi, rear wiper motor for a Polo 6N2 GTi, to name but two random parts... glad Charlotte never goes in there! :-^
