Lukes - Subaru Impreza P1

When I was very young, we always attended the Grizedale Rally with our friend who was participating in the event in his Evo 5. Whilst watching all the cars there was one that always caught my eye… the Impreza! Ever since then I have always wanted to get my hands on one.
My first ever car was a 2009 Fiesta Zetec S, doing the usual XXR wheels, Zunsport Grills, LED lights, etc. But after a year of driving I had the chance to own a UK2000 Impreza from a friend, surprisingly could get insured on it at 17! However, the inevitable knock came which short-lived the car, I replaced the engine with help of a local garage and sold on.
Fast track to 19 when I caught my dream car, the Impreza P1, I started to save like mad. Eventually went to go pick the car up from Aberdeen and the drive back to the Lake District was unbelievable. Bits had already been done to the car, however, we thought we would continue what the previous owner had started. Now 21 and the cars running sweet as ever, along with the daily that is a 2008 Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition – with the help of Lakeland Car Centre.

If anyone sees the car out and about at any shows/meets or just on a general drive out I am more than happy to talk to anyone about the car and my journey with it and help others out.
