Hello SLi!

My name is Marcus and I greet you from Saskatchewan Canada! I had planned on lurking SLi for longer before registering but came across a build thread I felt I had to post to so here we are.
My Subaru obsession started with a 2008 WRX hatch in WRB (Gallery can be found here (http://imgur.com/a/DTzcU)) which I had to sell :(. I picked up a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V (https://plus.google.com/photos/106639975163308709275/albums/5920334290549353073?authkey=CN3JtNuI4N2o2wE%20) which I also needed to sell shortly after.
Now I have returned to the Subaru world with a 1997 Rio Red LGT! Sadly the only picture I have of it is my Avatar because it is tucked away in my garage (and dirty :roll: ) and it is bleeding cold outside. So I must need be patient and wait for warmer weather before I can get to work on it. I purchased it off a lad who did not seem mechanically inclined and the motor is shot. I walked away with it for $900 CDN, a great deal in my opinion as the body is in fantastic condition.

That's my car history so now a little bit about me. I am a 28 year old single chap who loves cars, technology, and schenanigans. I work as a programmer for a local telecommunications company, the job is pretty good and it funds the toys which is the most important. I am currently on a leave from work as my health is less than ideal due to my medical condition - Crohn's. I try to be as open about it as I can because it saves explaining why I run away mid-conversation haha (My bowels wait for nothing). It's a shitty disease (pun intended), but I manage well with it. I appear to be on a positive turn around with my health so hopefully I can return to work soon and hope I will be healthy enough to travel this year. I would love to drive through 'Murica with my final destination being California as I have some friend folk there I would like to visit. We'll see.

Pictures of my car, my garage, my house, and myself will come as weather permits. Damn cold....

A chap who loves cars, technology, and shennannigans? Oh, you'll fit in wonderfully here. Welcome to the wonder that is SL-i.

I agree with Muse. After reading your post in Thom's thread, I have a feeling you're in the right place. Welcome!

I had a bid on a wrecked 98 Legacy wagon and I won it!
Going to check it out today to see if it runs and if it does I will be bringing her home.
Build thread incoming?......

Change of plans :( - the weather has gotten really shitty and highway travel is not recommended. I don't feel like losing control of a truck and trailer on a highway at ~60mph so I cancelled my bid. I am hoping that no one else posted one (I don't think they did, I went minimum reserve and won it) so that it gets put up again for next week and I can try this all again. If not I guess I just have to be patient until the next opportunity arises.
Welcome to Saskatchewan
