Ever since the days of beating WhiteBoyBob round the mountain tracks on split screen 2 player Gran Turismo on the PS1, my gaming racing car of choice has always been a Subaru Impreza WRX.
I am currently working up to purchasing one on Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox 360. I have got as far as a Mini at the moment, with an old Jag and a Roadster too.
Although I am definitely “not a car sort of person” and would probably still be huffing around on my BMX if my ex-employer had’nt paid for me to learn to drive - I have always sort of hankered for having a Subaru one day.
The problem is this though… I have seen three really nice ones out on the road in the last 2 days - but they have all been driven by girls!
So - does this mean that the shiny, imported, chipped blue Subaru with the gold alloys that I saw yesterday is really a “girls car”? Or was she just borrowing it whilst her baseball cap wearing chav hubby was out doing community service?
And should I be looking for a more manly car than that now? Perhaps a Supra or an Audi TT?
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.
