An Outback Story (Warning images may be distressing to some viewers...)

Bought an MY05 Forester today, used to belong to one of the paediatricians in town, sold and serviced by local subie dealer, 65000km's $20k, one of the 'weekender' special editions, has a funky seat design and hard plastic boot liner.

Tell ya what, I always berated the lack of low down torque of the H6, but it seems I was full of shit, it had buckets compared to the EJ25!

Hey Ben, there is a reason why I want/need a 6 in the Outback.You will find it too if you buy a 2.5 auto.

Nice choice, same as mine.

Although did you get an auto or manual?

Pity you couldn't buy it back. I wonder if whoever buys it will part it out... I need a bumper and the cross member below the radiator, too. :P
