Long Time Coming

Hi Folks,
It's been a dream of mine to own a GT after riding in a friends 08 when he bought it new some time ago. I haven't been in the position to swap out the car I had and move up to a Liberty until recently when I managed to put forward a good business case to the "Minister of Finance". Unfortunately while out car searching with the "Minister"things went off on a tangent, I came home with her car and she came home with and new XV. (wtf). After doing all the research, test driving and convincing I wasn't ready to give up so I put forward another business case and manged to get a second capex approved and eventually found a GT-B that couldn't be overlooked.
So here it is.
Specs are as follows,
07 Wagon
GT Spec B
1 x Lady owner
Full Subaru service history
New Falken Tyres
:lol:

That's it. Not really mind blowing but I'm so happy!
I will be trolling the forums for the best bang for buck mods and in the short term, happy to be the designated driver.
Enjoy!
Darren.

I just realised I bought a funeral car. I could moonlight as a mortician with a 30 mins or less policy. I might put an STi shift knob and badge on the tailgate. That will give it some attitude.
Thanks for the welcome.

Pfft... Diamond Grey > * (I'm not even going to be fussy on year, although I believe it's only a post facelift colour?)

Got some STI wheels today to keep the enthusiasm fresh. It's going to be a long and slow build but the engines next.

What surprised and shocked me was the weight of the oem spec b wheels. They are boat anchors. Totally ridiculous. At least these will allow some nice pink lowering springs and Brembos. So much to do!
