Scottish Sighting of the rare Subaru Impreza 22B

[MC12]

Hey guys, just thought i'd let you see what i saw today :D .
The Subaru Impreza 22B :drool: , what a beast it was, very noisy. Pulled into a fuel station and i immediately ran over and got pics :lol: , i couldnt actually believe what i was seeing :shock: . As quoted from mihals post in his ultimate car sightings topic :
"To Celebrate these triumphs just 424 replica's of his impreza 22b sti have been built for sale mostly on the japanese market. Britain has been allocated a mere 16 examples of it!!!!!!!"

OK so now the pics 8)

[MC12]

Thanks for the comments everyone :P and thanks RC for telling me what the car is and i think you may be right. But theres still one classic un-named :?

[Cearabc]

[dingo]

The 22B is the flavour of the month it seems, first I do a photoshoot with one, then MIHALS spots one and now MC12. :shock:

Well done, nice pics. :D

[MIHALS]

as I already said, those cars are unbelievable!!! The 22B is the queen of this topic, absolutelly imazing pics! so dingo isn't the only one here, who spotted this blue beast :prr: I've seen one 22B few days ago, so what happened? 22B everywhere :lol:

the other cars like 2 tone tuscan, VXR, VX220, new ST and Z4M.... wow, just a great job Dave!!! well done, keep them coming :wink: :good:

[MC12]

Thanks everyone for the replies and yes mihals the 22B does seem to be everywhere :lol:

wow, just a great job Dave!!! well done, keep them coming

I will try to do more topics like this because it is rewarding when you get positive replies when going out and photographing cars and doing a topic that this time took me 2 - 3 hours because my shell uploader wasnt working :cry: but still its worth the effort :D

[Caplax40]

Oh whoa, and part of a MKIII Toyota Supra to boot!

After dingo's photoshoot, it's pretty nice to have another 22B spotted by a JW member!

[sikx5]

Damn dude a 22B!! :shock:

The driver was looking a bit sus at you taking the pics too :lol:

Very nice work mate :mrgreen:

[MC12]

Thanks for another load of comments :P and yeah the driver of the 22B was wondering what the hell i was doing :lol: , i dont think he appreciated the rarity of his car to spotters :wink:

[Andrew]

[MC12]

How come it said 22B on the back of the car and the rear goes out like a normal 22B. There are foglights on the car but it has the covers over them. I think your fibbing :wink:

its a replica reg checks are linked up with the dvla and dont lie :wink:

[MC12]

You could be searching for another reg and making it all up to prove me wrong :roll:

[Andrew]

you seen the pic yourself of the data ;)

[MC12]

Every subaru 22b i search for there comes up as a gl , i think the real model isnt listed. Somehow you cant list the model saying 22B :?

[MIHALS]

you seen the pic yourself of the data ;)

stop spoiling our happiness :roll: :fist: :mrgreen:

I think if it was a replica (same goes for "mine") there should be some quote about that... :hmm:

[MC12]

Yeah even if it is a replica it looks like the real thing and is no different and i must say it looked fantastic :P . This topic is a little old now so people cant stop replying. Theres a new topic up you know :wink:
