Yeah I am afraid to say yes I am well and truely old enough but I have to wait until November as that is what I have been informed of when the new MY11 is in the country and in stock.

And I would agree I would love to purchase a new STI but I can't justify the cost of one at this point so for now it will be just the WRX.

Even tho I am not active as yet I would be happy to assist if needed as I can print up to A3 plus if you would like to make up a few posters to hang up around the place to gain more publicity.

It might even be a good idea to have Subaru in town hang one up near the show room and service centre I am sure they would be happy to help promote their product with a local social group.
