Oh well, looks like I've gone and done it!!

Sold the wife's WRX SL wagon!!

and bought her this - a brand new 08 STI hatch in Obsidian Black, this is very rare for the Uk as our options are only red, white, blue, silver and grey, but this is a one off special!!

I've got a few extra's ordered -

18 inch wheels
front fog lights
front mesh grill
loads of interior goodies

I'm going to LA in a couple of weeks and gonna see if Ferdie can sort me out with some mudflaps and some better looking rear lights!!

I'll post some more photos in September when she's all done!!

Take care y'all

Mike

Cheers guys!!

Jon, the wife wanted something slightly smaller, so I told her the new one would be great!! (it's about an inch shorter!!)

I love my car too much to trade just now, but I'm saving for an RB 320 maybe end of next year (I hope)

Hope the wife and kids are doing well!!

regards

Mike

Ah, very nice Mate! It looks "SUPER" black.

I don't know if I could drive a car slower than the wifey. Oh crap, that's right I have a yaris.

Or a vitz in your neck of the woods. Nice acquisition though!

i traded my wife's crappy '04 honda accord for an '08 2.5i hatch. i was sooooo close to convincing her to get the wrx, but i failed. i would've failed quicker if the sti was there. hah

lucky wife!
