How did you ORIGINALLY hear about i-club?

Everyone here has a story, so lets hear 'em!



For me it was back in 1998 when my neighbor bought a bright blue (WRB) 2.5RS and had it modified with a V4 front bumper, exhaust, intake, and other etc items. The car made my friggin jaw drop every time I saw it... Finally one day I went over to him and asked him about his car... We sat and talked cars for a while. It was mid-late 1999, a few months after we became friends where he mentioned an internet forum which talks all about the Impreza. I went home and went to i-club (impreza-rs.com then) and read through all the members stuff and registered... A few months later I went online to check out the forum but I forgot my password and I didn't remember my member name so I re-registered as "brucelee" and that was in January of 2000.


I ended up getting my 2.5RS in Feb of 2000. I had ordered it in 1999 but it took a long time to ship over here so I had to wait about 2 months, well worth it though. I became addicted to the i-club forum and the rest is history.


I'm on my 3rd Subie.

Heard about I-club from Josh. It was right after the split. I used to work with him at an ISP. He got me into subys. He let me test drive his wagon and I was hooked. I didn't buy one until 2006. Now I'm on my 2nd suby.

Bought my WRX Wagon in November '01. Was enjoying the car and driving to and from work. One day on the way to work, this sick L/RS wagon pulled up next to me at a light. White on white, lowered, nice. He revved and wanted to go, engaged for a minute, then afterwards he holds up a piece of paper that said I-club.com. This was in February 2002. Got to work, pulled it up and signed up. Found out that was hella old school member Randy. Stuck it out through the split and not planning on going anywhere. Since then my wife and I bought a 2.5i Legacy for her and I convinced my parents to buy a Forester when their Escape was nearing the end.

Back in 05 when Sean (Blue Blurr) got his car. Once he started modding his car and he took me for a ride. I've been hooked on Subies. Took me 5 years to get mine but finally got one. His car is pretty much what I want to do with mine. He's the one who told me to troll i-club to find out more about subies.
