I'm outta here!

I joined this forum back when I first got my Evo 8 in 2004. Met Gagan and some other nice Subaru owners at the autocrosses and signed up, despite not owning one myself. Somehow I've continued to lurk for the past 8 years and only this week purchased my first Subaru. Now that I have one, I feel it is only appropriate that I leave. Goodbye all!

The Mini? You mean The Neverending Story on Wheels? The shell is still at the bodyshop and should be painted by the end of next month. Once it gets home it will take several months to re-assemble it and build the wiring harness. Latest goal: on the road by the end of this year. Don't hold your breathe though.

I have no idea which car will be faster. I guess it depends on the venue. On a smooth, twisty road I suspect the Mini will be pretty quick.

I figured the power/weight ratio math for the mini would make it destroy the Subaru? (I am also an autox'er that was schooled by Gagan and has had a LOT of 89 1.6 civics hand my *** to me lol)

Sadly, I've lurked so much over the past 8 years, no one will really know whether I'm really gone or not. Well, I have come out of hiding on occasion to harass Krinkles in the past. Maybe I should step that up. Hmmmm....

BTW, I went into the Subie dealer to check out the WRX hatch. It seemed like it could be a fairly practical daily driver that would be fun. Nice but ridiculously light clutch, throttle and steering. Couldn't stand it. Sadly, the STI isn't that much better but I guess all the good stuff made up for it. My first Subaru and so far I'm liking it.
