Your Subaru "unobtainium"

G'day all.
After being bored and doing a search (as usual) for Brumby bits that I probably don't need I stumbled across this sweet sweet subi (below). Hence why I thought it a good thread topic to start - share those dreams and aspirations of Subaru parts or vehicles you see for sale that you'd love to own/respect/look after/make use of.
Here's mine:
AUDM factory RS Turbo wagon... Hmmmmm
And the link to the advert while it lasts:
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hilton/c ... 1076302603
I've always wanted an unmolested RS turbo wagon. But I thought I e wanted the gun metal grey all along - but now I'm not sure I want to be that fussy looking at this clean (in pics) unit!
It's just wrong time and wrong place for me
*dreams*
I need to win tatts. Should probably buy a ticket first :P
Cheers
Bennie

I bet it would be. I like the number of K's it's got too. Would look into club rego for this and only use for cruises/long drives to see family - not for daily driving.
Problem is:
VT family vehicle,
Ruby Scoo,
Redback Brumby and
The scooter.
Too many vehicles to add another without financial burden. Otherwise I reckon I'd look into this further.
Good to know that a forum member knows of this vehicle though!
He wouldn't take $2500 for it?
Cheers

Well, I don't know if there's one for sale now but when one of these came up in NZ not too long ago I almost felt like flying over there to bring it back:
The older gen Subie's just suit me, I explain it to people by saying they just fit me like a glove
Of course I love everything Subaru but a genuine JDM 2 door Leone RX with EA81S is my unobtainium. Being they were rare enough when they were new (and were they even delivered to AUS?) I see this car as the best iteration of the MY body shape vehicles that were produced.

Scott - Delete the VT and replace it with this. Problem solved?

My unobtainable Subaru (hopefully for the moment) is a Brumby. Straight, no rust, no frills... Something like this:
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/reid/car ... 1075225446
I would then strip it, clean it up, get it re-sprayed and re-assembled with Forester EJ20 running gear. Give it a 2 or 3 inch lift, 27in tyres, full overland setup at the back...
It's good to dream, isn't it?!?

I'd also go for the Leone RX ...

What can I say I have my brumby and my vortex
If I'm good wifey lets me drive the TD forester
but then I don't want to drive mine after that
What I really want is my own workshop.

Nah the VT has been our rock and an awesome vehicle with the amount of driving we've done in our time with it plus I like having a vehicle capable of towing a car trailer without having to stress about it. And this is also the wife's ride - "they" came as a package deal
I also couldn't see her driving a manual every day... I guess there's one way to find out

I know the feeling about your own workshop! Where we're currently renting we have a decent shed, probably the only thing I'll miss about this place!
I really wish I had some lazy "burnable" cash for this as I'd love to take it on. The more I think about it the worse I am about letting it slip by
It's torture!!
But an AUDM RS turbo wagon...
And the other one for me is the classic RXII coupe (if I haven't already mentoined it!)

Yeah love those too, I think my Fav' though is the R100 coupe. Both pulling some serious coin these days
As for Subaru, I have both, of what I most desire, in the Subie range. An EJ powered Brumby (albeit not yet functional) and also an '83 GLF5 coupe.
I must be living the dream!! (always thought it was someone else's dream I was living though???)
If we're picking other Aussie cars (only secondary choices to our most desired Subarus of course) I'll go a 2 door SS A9X Torana.
At $250-$300k certainly made from unobtanium!!
