Forester STi SG9
At the beginning of this year I fancied something fast to use as a weekend car/take to work on nice days and to also perhaps break my trackday cherry in. However, I didn't want something that will depreciate too much and doesn't have high running costs. I really did want an evo but that doesn't really fit in with those conditions I don't think. Maybe one day though!
With that in mind, a friend suggested that I look at kit cars as they generally hold their value incredibly well, and the associated running costs tend to be very low. After a bit of research I had my mind set on getting a bike engined Fisher/Sylva Fury. Unfortunately, with it being the middle of winter, there weren't actually any Fury's for sale. I looked at Westfield's, Tiger B6's, and a locost/Haynes, but was never really committed to any of them.
Then, all of a sudden, a Tiger GTA cropped up for sale from a local dealer. It wasn't bike engined but I thought I would go and see anyway. I booked a test drive, on what I believe was one of the coldest days of the year, just 2 weeks after I had had major open abdominal surgery as well! Needless to say, I still really enjoyed the test drive! So much so, I decided I had to have it.
It was pretty much a blank canvas when I bought it, put together with very little individual touches added by the builder, so it's very much open to me to add some of my own touches to it which I'm more than happy doing, so is a bit of an ongoing project atm.
Anyway, here it is. Cue the "looks like a Fisher Fury to me" from those in the know. Yes, it does. And I like it
