After 5 years of dreaming and 10 months of waiting I took delivery of my Series II Stagea today.

This may seem like a long time, but when your after something specific it's well worth it.

Every option under the sun roofs and all [pun intended]. (one thing I didn't get was side airbags but I reckon the wait may have been forever for that)

Just to name a few

Look forward to seeing you on the road &

Thanks for your time

That towel rail is fantastic! Enjoy, I know you will!

As you all know by now I really hated my Forester, but, in the spare wheel well (full size) there was a poly wash basin. You could take it out and do the dishes etc.

Silly buggers didn't fit a towel rail though. If it had one I might have liked the LEMON.

Well done! Never even seen one with a towel rail before! You've been waiting even longer than me... I've been looking for about 3 years, I paid a service fee to my chosen importer a couple of months ago and I'm struggling to find a series 2 in silver with leather... I can appreciate how you could spend 5 years (or 10) looking for one with all the right options, that's for sure. Awesome looking example you have there. Got any pics of the interior? I guess it is a prime ed with leather?

Yep Prime Edition with all the fruit.

Only got to drive it once from the importer to my mechanic for a major service (precautionary)

so I'm chaffing at the bit to get my filthy hands back on it.

The back has that "never sat in feeling"

That looks niiiice. I reckon that silver with leather has gotta be the rarest damn combo. I think I'm gonna settle for pearl white/leather. But silver looks best :D

nah dude pearl white in the right sunshine looks friken fantastic

just you wait......

wish I had leather interior tho

Well spotted, Shan! 100 points

Finally got it back from my mechanic yesterday and he absolutley loved it.

I think he kept it a few extra days so he could drive it around......

Noticed these little gems whilst driving at night this evening

Can't really see the point of them but they light up white when the doors open

Then if your headlights are on and your driving, they glow green(!?)

Kinda makes you feel like you're in an aeroplane :laughing-smiley-014:

The dude who bought this car really optioned it to the max...

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
