michael_jenkins Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Would be good if everyone could make it! I certainly wouldn't be the owner of a Subaru if it wasn't for Richard Burns. A true hero in my eyes! I'm very much looking forward to the engine sound-off in place of a minute’s silence!

michael_jenkins Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Sorry mate. If I'd seen it I would have put my name down. Good to know you are going though! See you there! If enough people from here and surrounding borders are interested, we will all meet somewhere and convoy up. Link to comment

Not a worry, it was just a mention and a link to a long last of people going. Unfortunately it was a link to S*****net so perhaps it might have been vaped? Itll be a good do, and if we get more and you pass by Oxford way, Ill be well up for a convoy! Note to self: Wash the fricking car! Link to comment

Nice one, lets hope we get a few more! Ahh, it's all about the RB5s and RB320s on Saturday, the P1 will have to settle with parking away from it's place of birth ;-) Link to comment
