ok spike started this one off about nobody hearing much about my cars so here goes i will run you through the 2 subaru,s im not doing every car because its boring and brings back too many memories so here goes.

First up was my white automatic L series paid $800 for it about 14 months ago it was my way of showing the missus i was happy to be a father it was a 1991 auto push button 4wd had only 276k on the clock and not a speck of rust it was blowing a bit of smoke on startup and had rocker leaks but for $800 who could complain how ever after a few paddock runs and an issue in glasshouse forestry it was considered dead so i fixed it and sold it for a grand haha

Second one was a 1989 grey touring wagon ( THE BOSS) unfortunatly i paid $700 for this one to pull the motor down and find it was shot to hell and yet still had the hone marks on the bore but on the plus i got a sub and spotties and i got to fix my trigger finger with a 9" grinder hahaha

third one planned is another L series havnt decided which one as long as its cheap and runs i dont really care i only want it for the beach and occasional bush bash... yea yea then it,ll get a lift and bigger tyres and ill end up with my own forum hahaha theres some pics of the white one

Are you looking for one with powersteering?

I've tried L Series with and without powersteering.
I find the ones with powersteering a lot more fun.

I can chuck a you-ee, start to finish in 5 seconds (or less

) with my index finger on bitumen.

One of the best things about the L Series is extremely-tight turning circle.
It's one of the reasons I was less enthusiastic over an early model Liberty wagon.
I just wanted a unique driving experience, and I sure got it!

Mine wasn't cheap,
but I didn't want to wait several weeks for a bargain.
Only regrets was buying a used car from interstate,
so for more than 1 week it was technically unlicenced.

*Had I known, I could have asked someone in SA to let me use their mailing-addy for a vehicle transfer.

Hehehe... the good old scandinavian flick in 4wd is really something else! Add EJ power to it and it's a scream!

Sorry to hear you wrote off your old L from this mate.

That white L looks awesome mate, very neat!

Cheers

Find an L Series with powersteering,
then buy niterida's EJ25/auto 4.44 combo?

Wait, a mate of mine had a Liberty car and he got his car rolled, landing in an ant's nest, trying to show off his AWD.

Doesn't own a Subi now, but has fond memories.
