Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

You misunderstand, the pram isn’t for me, I’m far too big and would never fit it one.

.

A chap was selling this 2.0R Legacy wagon recently in the uklegacy forum. Might still be available. Looks in good condition from my screen at least

For Sale: £900
Model Year 2006. 55 Reg
Dark Grey Metallic.
177000 miles.

He did published his mobile in case you are interested.

yes , but for a BMW like Dans and mine , chains on the rear and then snow socks can assist on the front . Of course you can use just snow socks and then they go on the drive wheels etc.
They are hell of a lot easier to fit than most chains.

177,000 is a lot of miles! What is the lifespan of a Legacy?

176,000

seriously though, I had a 1992 Legacy that I bought with 140,000km on the clock and sold with 284,000km on it, no oil leaks no smoke still in great mechanical order...really depends on the service history, gotta change that oil frequently and cam belts every 100,000k

edit: mind you it was an EJ22 motor

A guy i work with has a 2.5 Legacy outback with 340,000km on it.

He says the key is to change the oil every 10,000km and cambelts at the interval

I think ours was four figures. It's on baby 2 though and still looks new.

As long as the owner keeps on top of regular services (especially oil changes) then those engines just keep going.
I reckon 200k is easy to achieve from a mechanical point of view.

Do you have to split the case to check/change Subaru bearing shells?

Proof the over 50's can still cut a dash. Spotted this today, one of the nicest examples I've ever seen, red leather interior, dapper as fuck from any angle. Happy birthday @jonny.

cheers dude. that is in much better shape than i am. but just enjoyed a little birthday joy ride in the little fiat.

That is glorious. Perfect

Looks great! Congratulations.

I was looking through a few on ebay last night - my wife prefers the Forester, which I don't mind at all, so I think we're going to look out for one from 2003 onwards which is ULEZ-proof.

Currently enjoying the view as we waft along the motorway with the motorway wafter safely stowed behind us on this AA truck 🤬

Legacy estate has more interior space for luggage, and is far more comfortable/better handling on long drives...but I am biased

Nice 'stang

Not the morgan and what other classics can you spot
126 bad phone photo, anyone guess what the silver car with the vinyl roof is?

Mercs, hard top and soft tops

Golf thread? ;)

Maybe. But I doubt Bugaboo is a hot topic on the links

silver car with the vinyl roof is

The one behind the tarpaulined red car?
Mk2 Cortina.

Serial Legacy owner here too.

Outback 2006 2.5, 120k, 7 years ownership
Spec B 3.0, 2007, 130k, 3 months ownership

Love the both, super reliable, capable and understated.

Like your thinking, it is a ford but rarer.

If you've got a grand to spend I'd be buying the newest lowest mileage petrol ford focus estate you can find. If theyve been looked after they are pretty bomb proof.

I needed to get a better car suitable for kids too and ended up buying a 3 year old dacia Logan mcv estate of all things.I'd never really considered a Dacia before but they seem to be very reliable, mechanically straight forward and very spacious for prams etc.

Ford Corsair?
V4 in the 2.0L option?
