 Mine's a '99 non-turbo, so its not fast....I might be a little high on the mpg, I love the car. For what I have to do its just about perfect. What year is yours John?  I'm totally gay for Subaru's!
 And yes, we could have a Subaru club, that is if our esteemed moderators will let us.... ;)

Mine only gets 17.8 MPG!  The turbo could be the cause

Or, if you're like me, liberal application of the turbo might be the cause  ;D

Lovely flock, Mark!  The 'guards came out cool

I've always loved John's dive bombing Buzzard - I only realized now that it is - enlarged - on Mark's one scratch plate.

And those Subarus don't look half-bad.

My Suby is a 2001 2.5L flat four non turbo.

What size donk is connected to that turbo John. I would guess that Marks is the same as mine.

It's the same engine as the WRX but bumped up in HP for the added weight of the larger legacy platform.

243-hp turbocharged SUBARU BOXER 4 engine
241 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm

a turbo station wagon?

Silly question. What other means of transporting a flock of Birds quickly is there? You know what the difference between a man's car and a woman's two seater is? The former still is good for something.

Station wagons are totally "rawk":

Six-cylinder 3.0 litre petrol engine
400 Nm torque from 1500-4800 revs

And in Germany - land of the free - it is allowed to go 150 mph on ze Autobahn too!



(Mine is black though, with red leather seats and - most important - a 4x125 Watt stereo plus a 200 Watt subwoofer ...)

I want one of those Volvo V70's in the worst way! I had a Volvo wagon back in my band days that was just cool as hell. Fit all kinds of gear in that thing.

The C-30.




Edith has one like that (in matching black) and loves it. Looks like a washing machine from behind me thinks ;D,






 but it's a good car. Used it for a longer ride to Düsseldorf last week to see Judas Priest (my brother had loaned the V 70 off me for a longer trip where his little show-off, totally impractical two-seater Opel Speedster (manufactured by Lotus as part of the GM family)



would have put unnecessary duress on female co-pilots!) and it acquitted itself well, even with four adults in it.

I think this remark just whooshed past everyone else. Maybe they've never heard the term "lesbaru".  ;)

I owned three Subies back in the days when their slogan was "inexpensive and built to stay that way." Wish I still had my Justy.

 "Maybe they've never heard the term "lesbaru".  ;)

I thought I was the only one that had heard that name for them    :gay:
My is definately a non-turbo, I like Uwe's V70, but its well beyond my means........and with Seattle's traffic you're lucky if you could go 150 miles in a day! much less an hour  :sad:
