does it have the plough attachment and silage cutting blade fitted? as with any tractor the rear wheels should be hooooooge compared to the fronts and there'll more than likely be a smell of cowsh** on getting close to it hth

Very bad, possibly lower than a Supra. I remember reading some articles about these a few years back (Jap Performance anybody) and it always stuck in my mind how bad the mpg was.

Nice cars those legacys. If I was after a fast estate i'd probably go for an RS4 or a Nissan Stagea, IE; http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/cardetai...n/stagea5.html

Fair point buddy! Like I said though, them Legacys are nice cars, and reliable too if cared for (which looking at the condition of your Supra i'm sure it will be!) I hope you have fun M3 bashing on the backroads too!
