Born in 1997 in the land of Subaru, Charlie is already a Legacy. Dark blue, with a 2.2L stomach and station wagon capacity, she can carry me and all my stuff (incl. friends) over the back roads of New Zealand with little fuss, especially with her (as yet unused) 4x4 function. She's not without blemishes. I inherited her with a slightly wonky passenger door, a wee dent in the bumper and - something I didn't discover until later - reverse lights that don't work. These don't seem to have detracted from her retro beauty though, as, soon after coming under my ownership, a beast of a 4x4 tried to take her from behind. She fended him off very well, however, and emerged from the ordeal with only her pride dented and boot(y) decoration smashed. Otherwise no other physical damage.1,297km later and we've started to know each other and our odd quirks better and all bodes well for a lasting friendship.
