I vape now
Haaaahahaha!
what flavor though :^)
What flavor?😂
Lol
Still not a house
At this point, the only way Jimbo is moving out of the shed is if he is tricked into buying a JDM RV
This gives vettel an idea.
preferably a turbo charged one
He should expand the shed
It will be a twin rb26 powered , quad turbo stance RV
@@Mike23443 Knock knock
He went from streaming races to buying rare legendary JDM cars. Jimmy has gone a long way.
My arch nemesis. HAPPINESS
Jimmy, you have more JDM cars than square meters of usable living space xD
He certainly has more square meter of cars then living space.
Well,it's not that bad.
Proper car nut😂👍🏽
@@Lh29567 not bad for a single man with no family ambitions.
@@Bbknuckles hes dating veronica
Jimmy is one of the only content creators who I am SO HAPPY he is where is. He’s such a nice guy and deserves everything he has. What a guy.
Mom: "Jimmy!? Do you have a visitor?"
J: "No, why?"
M: "Well then somebody parks in our spot again."
J: "Yeah, about that......"
M: "Educate in British"
that happened to me ... and not just once ...
but never with an impreza or a gtr unfortunately
Mom: "He got a bitchin' ride tho"
When you are 30 and had to explain to your parents why you not moving out but own 4 cars lol
Jimmy : let me know what you wanna see with it
Prob all of us : GO RALLY
jesus fuck NO sim racing experience aside considering how rare these imprezas are doing rallies in them is a horrible idea. i'm not saying he should baby the impreza or garage queen it infact i'd rather have him drive it hard and get the most fun that he can out of it going rallying is a bit too much for a car that rare
@@ephemera-noctourniquet No. Absolutely no and no. The ultimate purpose of the Impreza is to rally. Put a roll cage in, seam weld the body, reinforce the suspension and take it to Sweet Lamb.
@@tqracing Indeed, impreza just HAS to rally
@@ephemera-noctourniquet these Imprezas don't cost a pretty penny so why not?
When you decide to get a huge garage to put all these in, look for a garage with a kitchen, running water and room for at least two pieces of furniture
69th like on your comment 🤟🤣
or a ware house when he can move his shed inside of
A pair of small shipping containers with sheet metal running between them over a bit of asphalt.
Two pieces of furniture, simrig and bed is all you need :)
@@renz1013 that might be even better
Jimmer, you mad lad!
@Raijinzz Even better, he's a huge F1 fan.
His hair looks like (on the back) as if he just left his bed to pick up the car
and i love it. He has his priorities right!
Someday Jimmy's garage will look like everybody's garage in the first Gran Turismo (including 8 different versions of the same GT-R)
Indeed 🤣
Then it will be literally GT R (Gran Turismo Reality)
i feel attacked, all my individual gt-r's has a pupose.
That purpose being i got bored of the old one
Hey! I have to admit, if I had a garage like my first run of Gran Turismo 2... It would have been perfect.
Way more interesting and fun than the garages I had on Test Drive Unlimited 2 or other NFS titles where you had to get less interesting exotics :P
1000% correct

Jimmy, as someone with a non-555 STI-RA, I can say you will love this car. As you say in the video, it's a great B-road car. Super responsive, handles very well. Incredibly easy to drive, but still rewarding. Glad to see UA-camrs buying GC8 Subarus, they're underappreciated compared to R32s and Supras.
My mans slowly buying up the entire car cast of Initial D
Bro that’s so fucking true💀
Yellow Mazda RX-7 FD next.
@ imagine being able to even find an 86 for sale, Levin or Trueno lmao
@@ValentineC137 in my country there are always at least 5 Levins for sale and sometimes I come across a Trueno.
@ Where? I need to import it. Or maybe come there to live lol
Had a 2001 bug eye in the same colour. It was great! So much fun to drive. And that engine sound was amazing. Also lived near JPP. Spent waaaay too much time rooting around their parts shop. Uprated the brakes, the lines, the master cylinder, the roll bars, suspension etc. You're gonna have so much fun.
Jimmy will buy more cars than most people will own in a lifetime, nevermind a pair of GTRs, an MX5 and a Subaru, yet he refuses to buy a professional shed, also known as a house.
yet he refuses to buy a professional -shed, also known as a house- mic clip. FTFY.
What's house btw?
dat youtube money
he mentioned last stream that he finally got approved for financing so he can start looking
@Federal Bureau of Investigation you can race a shed
Ya know what, I think we as viewers of this channel have grown to appreciate this wonderful human being. Someone who has had more things to deal with than we know. He does not, enjoy...Or did not...enjoy getting out and about he was, and probably still is dealing with depression and other things we cannot fathom. Maybe, some of us can but not all. But he is happy it seems and content with what he does with his life and even if he spends every dime he has for the rest of his life on cars, so be it. The smile on his face says it all. He is happy and continues being happy. If he wants to live in a shed for years to come then he can do that. Its his choice. If we all could afford to do these things too i'm sure we would. I'm sure he has plans on buying a home, or renting something. He just has to it when he is ready. We just need to continue watching these great videos and support him to the fullest. He and maybe a select few others are the only ones that I watch their videos all the way threw. They are not fake and they are honest with us and continue making content that I , and all that are subscribers and members of these people will continue to support. With money or just watching. I get it Jimmy, your a car guy. I may not be as big of a car guy as you, but if I had the money there are 3 or 4 cars that I would buy right away, and they would be one of my first purchases. LOL. I love seeing these videos of your hard earned time and effort you put into making and editing these videos for us to enjoy. Because I know that that in itself is time consuming and work just like what anyone does when they wake up and go to their job everyday. You are just doing a different job. I appreciate you good sir, and sorry everyone, and Jimmy for the long comment and I love having a way to express this to you.
One thing we don't mess with in subaru land is timing belts. I hope if it sat for a while it has a new one with idler bearings. I have an 99 sti type r. head studs fix the gasket issues. that transmission is the closest ratio transmission of the bunch. cryotreated gears. sodium filled exhaust valves. Congratulations, great car. and you can put a kid in the back!
most people: *mounts a gopro to the windscreen for facecam*
jimmer: *WHOLE ASS DSLR ON A SUCTION CUP*
sophiegamer i was nervous as hell looking at that. i cant even get a suction cup to hold a cheap dash cam on, let alone like a 5 pound chungus of a camera and lens
That's not a DSLR as far as I can tell though, it looks to be a Sony A7S which is a mirrorless camera.
@@DJenerate You got the idea...
And a cloths peg as a mic clip 😂😎
@@imaner76 It's kind of weird since a lot of lav mics already have a clip but apparently not his.
Congrats on the purchase! I ran a Series McRae for 60k miles as a company car back in 96-98. The best b road car I've ever owned. Pre 2000 Impreza's are peak IMO - they got faster over the years, but as is the trend with modern cars, they also got progressively lower and harder suspension, and bigger wheels with stupidly profiled tyres... which ruined them IMO. It's the suppleness of the earlier cars that make them... the way you can drive them flat out and just ignore potholes, badly surfaced sections and camber changes. They do understeer a bit, but you can get round this with trail braking, or a big lift mid corner... plenty of lift off oversteer available like this, and enough power to get back on the gas and hold a 4 wheel drift.
As Jeremy clarkson once said “that is the distant throb of a turbo charged flat 4 which all over the world heralds the arrive of moron”
Heralds the 'imminent' arrival, know the quote my friend
Buuuut like 8 years earlier, he reviewed the 2004 wrx and loved it.
Brilliant!!
@@tungabunga4107 these things are not mutually exclusive
@@tungabunga4107 he said that quote because it was Hammond driving it
Love it Jimmy! This video reminds me of the time I almost bought a Ver.2 STi-RA Ltd as a ~20 year old student... right down to the slightly manic laughter through second and third gear. Common sense got the better of me however, and somehow I never have owned an Impreza. Many happy years chucking a Legacy GTB around on gravel roads though, and at least I ticked the MX5 box!
ordinary shed owner: let me invest in a basic house with a toilet.
jimmi boi: 3rd jdm sports car *yeeeeet*

Don't forget the Miata!
You wouldn’t?
4th
I'm so proud
"Oh i`m a chlid and i dont care". Practicaly every happy mans words ! ! ! RESPECT Jimmy ! ! !
9:41 Well,I'd just like to see more videos about the cars that you own
You've had the mx-5 and R32 for some time now, but we seldom see them, and I feel same might happen with this Impreza, don't be shy, show off the interior,exterior, engine bays, trunks and all that good stuff
And take them to a track day babyyyyyyy
Agree ^^
@@oaz8 Yeeees, a road trip + a track day! 🙂
Jimmy thanks for sharing your new ride with us. I hope you will show us the engine at some point and discuss head gasket blow out prevention!
It's such a testament to all Jimmy's hard work and effort over the years that he now gets to basically have his dream garage of cars.
You have to admit all of us petrol heads would do the exact same if we could.
There's one key thing about a house and that's "you can't drive around in it!"
Yeah you cant drive a house, but he already had two cars that he *can* drive. I think Jimmy grossly underestimates how nice it is to have... a house.
Even with all that, im happy he's happy
"You can live in a car, but you can't race a house."
I'm not sure but I think that's a Jimmy quote.
@@SuperPITSteelers take it from someone who missed many opportunities to buy a house when I was younger - he’ll regret it when he’s stuck paying rent forever (like me).
@@dunnyzed6953 aye. Im being forced into buying a second car as well as paying rent for a house in a couple of years (Mustang in the snowy North isn't a good idea) and having to pay for the house is rather daunting, not to mention paying for the car at the same time
@@SuperPITSteelers I feel that, mate :(
Totally enjoyed this. You deserve good things. You are a good person and appreciate your fans and what it took to get you here. Cheers!!! Enjoy that new ride!
Jimmer in GT-R video : I'm well aware that this, despite its relative practicality, was an impulsive purchase and is wholly unneccesary.
A few hours later:
*Gran Turismo new car purchased noises*
Jimmy cant even afford a mic clip now, that's how broke he is
Or a comb...
mic peg
Yep, he's down to his last peg...
@jimmybroadbent I remember my dad bought me colin mcrae rally 3 for my ps2 when i was younger. I've been ruined ever since. Racing was a passion, rallying was an obession. At 24 I got the opportunity to buy a 17 Wrx and immediately put gold wheels on it. I'm super excited for you man. Nothing cooler that being able to fulfil a dream.
T H I C C Brit owns 4 cars but lives in a Shed!
"Everyone liked that."
Pretty sure it's 6 cars already now: 350Z - Skyline - GT-R - Jazz - MX-5 - Impreza
@@generalguilmon6719 He sold the 350Z.
@@generalguilmon6719 Only been part of this ride since 2017-ish i only knew the MX5 and the Skylines and Impreza.
Jimmy, mate, you seem genuinely happy right now with your purchase and the Imprez joining the Skyline and the GT-R, and we're so happy to see you happy and enjoying your purchases. Keep it up and I'm always looking forward to what you surprise us with next~
Jimmy is trying to replicate his Gran Turismo 3 garage .
GT2 since that's what he said he played more
Same car I had when I was living in the UK. Mine was 766/1000, extremely awesome piece of kit and never tired of the kick you get when you put your right foot down, enjoy!
2024: I bought a museum for my cars.
(I'd honestly love to visit it)
"Jimmy, that's not a house!"
Comments: That‘s not a house Jimmer!
Jimmer: Haha, Impreza go brrrrrr
From someone who's owned 3 Subaru's, you can mitigate the risk of blowing head gaskets and running bottom-end bearings MASSIVELY by avoiding putting your foot down in 1st and 2nd. I blew many more head gaskets and bearings than I've owned Subies, but when I was told this by a Subaru mechanic that came to an end.
Your collection is awesome Jimmer. Here’s to the next car lol
Next car has got to be a driving shed
How many cars are we up to now?
@@iamlarsen7896 4, Far as i know.
@@iamlarsen7896 The MX-5, R32, R35, And the GC8.
@@midnxght_purple does he still have the 350z?
Nice one, it's a beautiful car, enjoy it and keep the videos coming. Next time maybe a walk around the entire car, show some of the details on it. Have fun!
Jimmy is one of the most humble people on UA-cam and it’s awesome where he’s gotten and where he’s going! He’s definitely earned every single view and sub! Cheers for the future my virtual friend!!!!’
Well in lad! I bought a 2001 WRX UK300 in July. Lovely machines!
"Watch me roll this car"
Oh Jimmy not again!🤣🤣🤣
Jimmy: maybe I shouldn't have bought the gtr
Also jimmy: LET'S BUY A SUBARU
Can't blame him, would've done the same.
@@hbtm2951 true but it's just a meme
I love how the mic is pinned to his hoodie with a clothes peg😂😂
Clothes
Yesss Jimmy!!! I feel every emotion you went through... I bought a version 6 type r a few years ago and can vouch for the way you feel
Gonna have to start calling you JimmyLZ
I used to have a 1997 WRX STI Type-RA. I imported it to Australia with 6000km... was an awesome car.. Light weight doors, windows and seats from factory.
This guy has more room inside all his cars combined than his own house
Fantastic car, congratulations! I have a -99 type r as a toy and love it, one of my dreamcars. Watching the video I think you need to be reminded the redline is at 7900 rpm!!!
A dream car for me(and a lot of rally lovers), I love it jimmer
I want that car so fucking much
@@xandermartinez9436 Same.
I just honestly want any sort of WRX but this era is so iconic
Jimmy, I have a rare, American brand sports sedan. Same year as yours. The trouble with older, rare cars is the old, rare parts you need to keep them maintained. I love my car, but it's been sitting for over a year because I can't locate a couple of valve seals.
Jimbo: pulling up with his hat on backwards and a vape
Jimbo: Steps out of his Impreza
All the girls: 9:36
As a GC8 owner myself, we are exempt from the Vape dude bro stereotype. That shit really does apply to owners of the newer models though lol
@@nomeru_0 and civ owners
Nice one! I used to have a unofficial import WRX Sti (280bhp was a lot back then), amazingly fast and usable. Bridgestone SO2's were the tyre back then. YOu could not cover ground very rapidly in any weather with no drama.
At this point I think Jimmy's just hoping that he buys enough cars that they form some kind of Voltron that he can live in.
brilliant haha
Love it Jimmer! Lets see more external shots of her! A gopro on the wang might be neat, if it doesn't die.
Jimmer has an Impreza now. Next video: "I Bought A Vape!"
I entirely get the appeal of seeing a rear wing in the window. In my DC5 Integra (also blue with blue seats) it's high enough that it 'frames' the view in the mirror and I can see underneath it easily, but over the shoulder the endplates look very cool! Love the Scooby. Hope it's a good companion to you
Need a house to keep the cars in you will have to stay in the shed
Or just a second, bigger shed for the cars. Then he'll be Jimmy "Two Sheds" Broadbent
@@djordjeblaga7815 i got two sheds, one for my sims and one for my cars
or third choice: renovate his current house and happily living with his mom and all his cars :D
Not a bad idea...
1. needs a roll cage
2. proper seats with 5 points
3. some ground effects
great find, though, enjoy it! small cars with around 300hp are big fun!
4:40 My exact words when I saw the thumbnail, that spec is incredible!!
I'm enjoying this style, it doesn't feel like a generic car review, it feels like we're just in the car listening to you have a chat, and it's great
This is getting like a dream car garage on Gran Turismo or Forza, I'd love to have the chance to buy my dream car which is an nsx, love the content as always, keep it up
Love it! Super happy you're able to do this for yourself. Cheers!
Everyone: Which dream car are you buying Jimmy
Jimmy: Yes
For real though that is a sound investment. Have a friend who has an evo and every year the insurance value goes up by 2k :O!
nice one Jimmy! I have a Subaru special edition myself. actually one of 555 made. it's a 1996 STI type R. lovely car!
Jimmy, thats not a house
As someone who grew up with Gran Turismo 5, I feel like your garage is quickly becoming my childhood dream garage
"Cal McRae here, watch me roll this car"
Not the only car he rolled...
Thanks for being humble, not very often youtubers are genuine when they say it, but you clearly are.
Id like to see you do some reasonable mods to this thing and document it but nothing crazy like the other youtubers who need ridiculous numbers, i.e the SC36 turbo from scooby clinic, get some more powaaa - then see you take it to a few track days!, I just bought a 2010 WRX-s recently (apparently prodrive say there only 300 were made, but definetly not as desirable as this) enjoy it!
3:32
welcome to subaru ownership. you will always need fuel
Best I ever got on my mk2 was 29mpg. Never got to 30mpg but had a lot of fun 😀
My turbo 2000 only averaged 17!
My family car growing was an imprezza WRX catalunya growing up, best we could get was about 20mpg. (Then the exhaust broke and the only one we could get to replace it was a huge drainpipe exhaust, so you could hear it from about 10 postcodes over. My dad, brother and myself loved it, my mum and neighbors, not so much)
my current DD is a 93' legacy turbo and i think it gets like 10mpg lmao. i cant go 2 days without putting a half tank in it.
Great choice. That generation of Impreza was such great fun racked up a few miles in some
Okay, I wasn't too bothered about the GTR but now I'm very jealous.
Jimmy there are very good driving roads that you can have a lot of fun with in your cars, so in terms of video ideas i think it would be cool to see you go on those roads, wales, scotland northern england etc
0:48 me too Jimbo, but I'm a 16 year old with about 20 quid :(
oof
The way he attaches the microphone to his hoodie is legendary
And also the onboard camera
Wasn't Jimmer worrying about buying the GTR in the last irl video. Very nice car though.
Hell yes. I bought myself an sti v4 type ra v limited 555 the other week! Hands down the most enjoyable driving car I've had so far.
Jimmer, I have a feeling you’re trying to make a collection of cars that you could drive in Gran Turismo
Daihatsu Midget is coming soon I bet
I’ve got a V6 type R limited and you’re right. 2nd-3rd there’s very little on the road that can stay with it because the power, weight and very low gearing make them as you say, savage.
"oh I'm a child and I don't care" I absolutely love that 😊
Me too 😄❤
This is phenomenal, so happy for you my man, absolutely fantastic. When time and legality permits, I'd love to watch some euro-travel tour in one of your cars, get some cultural car experiences (lets talk some youtube hits like stelvio, nurburg, etc) and basically get more in depth time with any of your cars doing so! You've got really good insight, and a lot of people out here are looking for specifically that feedback on your experiences!
Upgrading the shed naaaah
Upgrading the car collection yes
Jimmy I own an 04 Impreza RS with the WRX wing and I smile everytime I see it in my rear view
talks about being lucky to be able to buy these kind of things, *proceeds to strap mic on with washing peg* hehee
Happy for you, dude. That’s a beautiful car in great shape. Be good to it!
AE86 next?
Just a great car from a the 90’s rally era. Was either a Impreza or Lancer at the time you had to have, but both British world rally champions won in a Impreza.
*in 2 years*
Hey guys, just bought a new garage for all my cars...
Still no house though.
Did you mean: parking shed?
I would not at all mind videos with this, the mx5, the r32, even the r35, where you just took them out to a good road and did a bit of spirited driving, raw audio, maybe some commentary breaks here and there. Just a chill video where we get to ride on board and listen to some sick jdm vehicles.
Ay that's my favourite car!!!
If it has the adjustable centre diff (my 94 import WRX RA did), don't tighten it up on dry tarmac! Great fun though, 4 wheel drifting all the way around roundabouts is addictive ...apparently *cough*.
We: how much japanese cars do you have?
Jimmy: YES
Truely happy for you mate, this is awesome. Congrats
who needs a house when you have 700 cars
GT in a nutshell
Where “Home” is an infinite car storage
Yes Jimmy, Impreza's are a lot of fun, ive got a wr1. However JPP always ends badly, go in for one small part, come out with new intake, guages and bov lol
In other words, still no house for a while.
Ha, commented before I got to the part where jimmy said everyone would say stuff like this in the comments.
Thought it might’ve been a 22b! I’ve never even heard of this special edition! Nice one Jimmy, couldn’t be a nicer bloke behind the wheel of that beaut!
