Cheers guys - thanks for your thoughts.
Actually, Simon, it wasn't so much being patient for a purchase as waiting for a sale. I wasn't going to sell unless I got top dollar (because I really didn't want to sell) and, well, a good car just happened to present itself at the same time.
As it turned out, the car was misdescribed on carsales as a non-SpecB MY05; Subaru confirmed it to be a MY06 SpecB. I actually had passed it over a few times when I was trawling but became interested again when the price started to get silly. A quick look at the pictures and I quickly worked out it was a sleeper - something I confirmed when I saw it "in the flesh" and called Subaru about it. A year of being in the market helped me there, as did a couple of queries quickly answered on here.
Taylor, let me know about the next cruise - I'll more than likely be there. Used to do these with the BMW boys and always had a great time.
Also, Collingrove is just down the road from me (well, in a country sense - it's about a 15 minute drive) so wouldn't mind rocking up to say hi to some of you there when the time comes.
cheers,
bj
