dodeer Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Been offered an E reg Subaru pick up for £400. Has done 130,000 miles. Been serviced at local garages. 1800cc ,4 speed gearbox. Drives nicely, starts 1st time. Apart from looking like a ***** has anyone got any views on these 4x4's. Going to be used for going pigeon shooting in, muddy fields etc. Will probably have to fit some knobbly tyres to give it a bit more traction though.

Devon Fox Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Those subs are the mut's nuts, used to have a brat years ago, excellent for pick up shooting ...... faster than a Landy for high speed fox pursuit! Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country_est Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Those subs are the mut's nuts, used to have a brat years ago, excellent for pick up shooting ...... faster than a Landy for high speed fox pursuit! Go for it! Used to be the pickup of choice for the farmers, bigger and better on road that a landie truck cab, lighter so didnt sink into the mud and snow too much, biggest prob was when it came to spares, F$%^ing expensive for the likes of exhaust and othe bits, but if its in good nick its £400 well spent.
