Ellie the Brumby (1991)

Not the targa I've been on the hunt for, but I couldn't resist: https://i.imgur.com/FNloCfQ.jpg For SA, she was a good price for a brumby with minimal rust, and red was my first brumby love so... I am now the third owner. The first owner had her until 2016; she kept on top of the maintenance and onl...

Re: Greetings from Adelaide

Hey Bennie Heh, I've noticed people tend to have at least two brumbies or MY series cars. Given the cost of parts and the handiness of having access to spare parts when something goes wrong, it's making more and more sense! I've started considering snapping up a brumby in less than ideal (body) cond...

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Yeah cheers! I love looking at it while driving, not enough to be a hazard on the road though :P I'm guessing the opposite! You're just very conscientious about your speed, which just so happens to require frequent glances to the lovely dash. :P Gah, you always hope it's the fix you think it will b...

Re: Greetings from Adelaide

Hey, Bennie That's a big part of the appeal of a brumby, other than it's dashing good looks. I'm looking forward to developing my skills and aim to do as much as possible myself. I'm getting waaaay ahead of myself here, but was thinking I may need to take it somewhere for things like big AC problems...

Re: Red Targa Brumby

That dash is awesome! I keep ooh-ing over it. I'm sure it doesn't make up for all the work yet to be done, but it's a little oasis of lovely that can at least distract from it a bit. Also, perfect 'fun top' weather right now.

Re: Greetings from Adelaide

Hey, fellow Adelaidian! Yeah, like yourself, I'm thinking it may take a while to find the right brumby for me in SA, so I've picked up a 'cheap and cheerful' 2002 Outback to keep me going in the meantime. I've seen the thread on your brumby and the past member who used to own it. Seems whoever owned...

Re: Greetings from Adelaide

Hi Bennie Thanks for the welcome. I'm very familiar with Redback as I've been pouring over that thread a lot the past day. What a journey you've been on with that li'l guy. Down the track I might have some questions about converting to a six gauge cluster/dash because they look pretty slick, but of ...

Greetings from Adelaide

Hi all I don't own a Subaru right now but had a '99 Forester in the past and am currently on the hunt for a Brumby. Other than the Forester, all my cars have been a 70s-80s vintage. I fell in love with the Brumby over 20 years ago so it's high time I made one of these sweet little road warriors my o...
