SUBARU OWNERS purchased my car,” says James. This ‘new’ car “started life,” he says, as a green 1998 Impreza Brighton Wagon. Today the vehicle resembles a Japanese spec, first-generation Impreza wagon, but it took a lot of work to get it there. He literally purchased Subaru parts from all over the world to create his latest showstopper. And, this one has performance to match its looks. “This is by far the best performance car I’ve ever owned,” James admits. So, where can James go from here? Actually, he’s got it all figured out. He has set his sights on a classic 1998 Impreza 22B STI. This vehicle can only be purchased overseas so to make it financially prudent, he has to wait until 2013 when the car is 15-years-old, thus making it a ‘classic’ and duty-free. Until then, we can bet that James will be saving his pennies and collecting Subaru parts from all over Canada and the world to make that 22B STI his own! The Ross family loves their Subarus!
