@walowiz 
Not yet!
I ended up listening to my head instead of my heart. However I still very much want to!

I think I need to be sensible and give it a few years, when I have less on my plate and a space to keep it. For now I have an early Impreza which is a love of labour. Enough of rust issues for a lifetime, and the expense and time involved in chasing the fun numbers for bhp etc...

You could just create The KLF's famous moment on Jura - it will cost about the same.

cool, different proposition to an old defender where chasing speed and up isn’t really an option.

Definitely the other end of the scale, it's been quite a few years already and is always an ongoing thing. I have an end goal in mind for it and that's not too far away now... (famous last words)
