Default Road Trips

So Ive had my subaru for about 2 weeks now and ive already been to Kent twice to pick up parts one being a lambda sensor on sunday because the old one was rusted in the old downpipe and wouldnt come off without some light encouragement and we wanted to start the car up after fitting the new exhaust and of course monday was far to long to wait haha anyone else driven crazy distances for a bargain? or am I just impatient

My interior came from Doncaster, my exhaust from Watford - but I was travelling round England for work so neither were far out of my way.... furthest I've gone just to collect something for the scoob was to Bristol.

When I had my first car (corsa) I travelled 250 miles to pick up a set of wheels....

Ran in my 2.35, had it mapped and was at the Nürburgring in 9 days

Went and picked up a turbo from Sheffield, roll cage from Dorset and had the Evo worked on in Plymouth

Drove to Goodwood to pick up an exhaust from Silver Surfer who lives a 2 minute walk down the road from my own house
