Greetings from Sweden

Hi all! I've recently bought a used Subaru Legacy and found this awesome forum shortly thereafter.
My car has 310.000 kilometers on the odometer but it is like it was new from the factory. I paid 3000EUR for it, I think it was a real bargain.

Here is a pic of the golden beauty ;)

The picture doesn't really do the car justice, it's much nicer IRL, even the inside is real fresh and the service
book is full of stamps from one shop. They even had to stamp inside the covers because the service book got full ;)
I come from the most southern part of sweden and I work as a rotorblade technician at Enercon(doing outside maintenance work on wind turbine rotorblades).
The road to my house is really crappy and gets almost undrivable in the winter so I bought a real old crappy Nissan Patrol 3.2 turbo diesel but I realized I won't be able to get it road legal until next year so I had to find a good 4wd car and enter the Legacy ;)
Thats all for now.

Welcome to SLi!

Very clean Legacy you have there I am sure you will be able to plow through anything however what transmission type did you choose? :-D And Awesome job btw.. I wish my country would embrace wind power like most parts of Europe :-(

Thanks!
It is a manual transmission.
I had work training in germany with a bunch of people from all over. And there was a guy from Canada there. He's from Nova scotia
so there is stuff happening in Canada aswell ;)

Nova Scotia / Newfoundland & Labrador / PEI are all on the coast and have a high demand for sea wind farms.. I am from eastern central Canada (Ontario) our locals are not willing to embrace wind power :-/

Anyways congrats on the new ride and the manual transmission :-D I love rowing through gears while having a 50/50 AWD split.

Cheers

Thanks man! It's really golden ;)
Okey, ppl here in Sweden also hav bad opinions about windfarms. They are going to build 1101 turbines
in the north of sweden and they have been at it for five years without putting any shovels in the ground due
to ppl complaining.
