General comments?
I would not have my Ag-Quip any other way. I am slowly restoring my new baby and it will soon be shining again, like the star she is.
Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) need a medal or something, they have created, in my eyes, one of the most awesome cars in the world.
I love any excuse to drive my Brumby.
For a 1.8 litre, carby-fed Horizontally Opposed 4 cylinder, they put out some power. My Ag-Quip has no problems frying her front tires while accelerating from 2nd gear. You engage second and floor it and smoke comes out the passenger side front tire well. It's "Fully Sick"
