So I have a new whip. It's a well known car around these parts. I'm happy to have kept it in the subyclub family.
Its a 1997 Gen 2 Outback limited (Cruisn edition lol)
Flew down to Mexico. Met Mark, picked her up unrego'd (I had a permit to drive her home). After 3 different cops pulled me over & 8 hrs of driving she is in her new home of NSW.
I must say this thing is mint. I've never seen a car of 17 years look this clean and tidy.
