Hi Everyone, I have posted in a couple of threads already and I thought i'd introduce myself.

My name is Tom and I live in Coventry in the UK. I have owned 7 Legacies over the past 8 years including:

'94 BG7A GLX
'98 BD9C 4cam Lux
'94 BD5A RS
'96 BG5A GT
'98 BG5B GT-B
'97 BG5C GT-B Limited
'97 BD5C RS (Current car)

I can't find any pics of the other cars right now but here's a pic of my '94 BD5A RS

And my current car, A '97 BD5C RS

I have been a member of UKLegacy.com for many years and in the past few years I have been going on a few trips with some of the members who have since become very good friends.

First trip was to the Nurburgring in Germany in 2010.

Next big trip was a European tour in 2011 called the 'Epic Run'.

Then the most recent trip was to Scotland in search of some amazing driving roads in 2012.

Thanks for sharing mate and welcome! Great shots of some unique Subies you got there. We would definately like to see more photos because your cars over the pond are the ones we can't have or get here in the states. :smt023

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I work away from home during the week so when I get home at the weekend I will dig through my archives of photos and post more up. ;)

Don't have to remind us. My GT-B spends 99% of the time in the garage simply due to the cost of running the bloody thing. I have a standard BE9 auto as my everyday car (just seen in the background of one of Tom's photos) and even that isn't cheap. However, as Tom said in his opening post, when we do take them out we make sure we have LOADS of fun. The 2011 "Epic Run" covered almost 3,000 miles around Europe (8 countries) and the petrol bill just for my car was over £1,000.

HAHA! Dont give me ideas... I have a record for doing crazy things like that... :grin:

It's good to see some more UK guys and even more so with a BD! I love my GT-B, but my BD is my first love, even though it's not even turbo'ed.
