3.0R Spec B

So, apart from the arsehole in the sickly gold coloured ugly little Renault Megane AO02 VTN doing 30mph in a 40mph limit, whom I overtook on my way to work, and whose fragile little ego couldn't handle being overtaken, especially with his girlfriend in the passenger seat, and who then decided to show me how much of a man he was and put his oh-so-macho foot down on the accelerator, thrash his little shopping car, overtake me on a roundabout, cut me up extremely badly, stick his fingers up, offer to fight me from his rear view mirror and THEN brake suddenly and dangerously, stuff his car into a curb and throw his door wide open to jump out and threaten me, to which I had to brake hard and swerve to narrowly avoid hitting the total jerkoff (thanks to ABS, all-round discs and four-wheel drive) who then stood there at the side of the road, holding up all the traffic and looking like a complete dickhead whilst I looked in my mirror, laughed and went on my merry way, everything started just fine that morning :)

The garage then called to say my Legacy was due in again today and that they had no courtesy car for me, which was OK because the sales department had already organised a 3.0R Spec B and forgot to tell the servicing guys...

Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B

So, for one day only, I drove a £29,000 car in black with 18" alloys, heated electronically adjustable leather seats, 6 disc multichanger with MP3, sports shift and sports shift sharp intelligent electronic gearbox, some sort of traction control, sat nav, climate control, 245BHP 6 cylinder horizontally opposed boxer engine and all that jazz...

But I've got my turbo back so I'm happy again.

That should be the last car blog for a little while ;)

    its always fun driving a loaner...you can drive them pretty hard and not worry about the long term damage. too bad you weren't driving the loaner when that jackass was showing off for his girlfriend this morning, you could have bumped him into oncoming traffic.

    Monks: That 3.0R Spec B is for sale so I didn't wanna thrash it incase I wanted it ;)

    But yeah, I shoulda had a SUV with a big bumper on the front... I could have had fun tipping the back end, like those diplomatic drivers do, and spinning him off LOL

    Looks pretty sweet. Loaner is always fun to drive around.... assuming the loaner car is not a POS.

    Tawcan: Yeah, was nice, and fun too. And talking about a POS, check out the one I had 2 years ago... it gave me Starlet Fever it did ;)

    Jay: Yep, it's certainly an object if desire... but a very expensive one at that!
