Should say "Scottish/McRae/Subaru" but it's not posting properly. :lol:

I thought someone might get a kick out of this. I've been meaning to post pictures but I haven't quite gotten around to it until tonight.

This is "my room" in the flat my girlfriend and I rent. Typical maybe, but I've got a few unique things as far as an American apartment goes.

First thing you see when you walk in:

The magazine on the bottom is the specific issue that took my interest into Subaru's from a minor one to a bit of an obsession. The top one is an issue dedicated to US servicemen, and it features a few guys I know stationed in Japan.

On the wall on the left...

Specifically an autographed ESX poster, a Subaru model I picked up in Osaka, a McRae Gathering decal from Grant, and a few books I bought in Wroxton (Wales) and Lanark two months ago.

To the left there, or sharply to the right when you walked in:

Opposite that, a Subaru advertisement featuring a full Subaru podium finish at the 2006 X-Games.

Don't worry about the TV, it's older than I am and it's not hooked up to anything. :)

Lastly, and most importantly... dominating the room...

From a vendor near the food court at the shopping mall in Paisley...

;)

It's a bit of a rallying sanctuary. I just wish one day I'd look outside and see a bit of the UK instead of some fence in South Carolina, keeping the hillbilly's out. B)

Looking good Shaun

and I even spot a DHL parcel sitting next to your bookcase lol

good to see you are settling into your flat.

re views of the scottish countryside, there are photos kicking about from the Gathering and you could probably 'borrow' one or two of images that show the convoy weaving its way through the Clyde Valley to print out and put over your window B)

Looking good!

Yessum, figured I'd stock up while I still had an employee discount. :D

Looking good mate. :lol:

But you can't beat looking at the Scottish countryside, some heather & Sheep!!! :D:)

Now that you mention it... if I had a spare wall free there's this website where you upload a picture, resize it to as big as you want (anywhere from 100cm to as large as a city block), and you then download it as a PDF file to print out and tape together... and I do have a lot of pictures of the Scottish countryside on my camera... :)

I didn't even think about that DHL box until I posted the pictures B)

Where are you living in the states?

I have a house in Yukon OKLAHOMA, home of Garth Brooks! Lived there for 10 years and the way this country is going i may well be going back sooner than i thought.

Only difference is, my house is decorated with Deer heads, Fish, 4x4 truck pics and Country music posters!!!

Garth who? B) I'm stuck living in South Carolina, but I'm originally from Pennsylvania. I don't really get along down here because I apparently have a northern accent, don't listen to Country music, don't watch Nascar or football, don't eat fried chicken and watermelon, and don't drive 20mph under the speed limit in the passing lane which therefore makes me an "aggressive drive." I honestly have never seen a state before that has to post MINIMUM speed limits.

We're stuck here for three years while my girlfriend is in school, then I want to move back north.

Like what you have done with the place Shaun, its got that "feel" to it... ;)

and that Rally XS cover, wow... that a real nice cover to have, 2 heros passed...

Thanks dude, I saw that issue on eBay and I couldn't pass it up. I haven't read it yet, it went straight from the package to the frame.

Lookin good Shaun :lol:

This isn't meant as an insult, so please don't take it that way...

With interests like hunting, SUVs and country music, American culture probably suits you better than British culture anyway.

Howdy, t3hWIT!

Love the decor :(

Are you a Scot living in the US, or an American McRae/rally fan?

Just an American stuck in America, I'd rather be in Scotland though. To say I'm a McRae fan would be a bit of an understatement though. :lol:

Well, each place has its pros and cons :(

For instance, how does $108 to fill your Scooby's tank sound? (only to drive around in heaving rain all week!).

No insult taken! :(

Much better than englands fast paced!
