Anyone know the inside track on this? certainly explains a few things Nurburgring publicity stunt and the move away from the rally image!

Subaru to decide on WTCC entry this month

The rumors on Subaru joining the FIA World Touring Car Championship has been going around since 2008. According to Autosport, the Japanese manufacturer is going to decide before the end of this month whether to enter the championship in 2012.

Series promotor Marcello Lotti hopes that the long going rumors are going to be finally confirmed this month.

"I have spoken with them and they said the final decision will come in Match. I hope they will say yes and we know before the opening round of this year's championship in Brazil," said Lotti to Autosport.

Linked to the Subaru WTCC efforts is the Belgian team Kronos Racing and their team boss Marc van Dalen said to Autosport that they hope to be able to reveal something about the project shortly

thats a great looking car

Thats exactly where I thought he meant Cathy

looks like it could be a good trip (not at the same time though)

Thinking the Borders area is so geograhically spread out that mid weeks are impossible for people so i have tended to do mini events instead of meets, thinking that weekend may suit better for people down here.

If possible i would like to try and do a lothian and Borders type meet/event to try and generate some interest, next wee event i am thinking about is a wee hurl down to revolution in Newcastle as it is not too far, dunno if people would like that or not answers on a postcard.

Knowing you either Dave Lapworth, Ross Brawn or Paul Howarth?

Hi Imy/Grant

Everyone has been a bit quiet on this wee run in Wales for the Charity is anyone from Scotland going?

Very nice looking motor, i think the sti bug looks great

Get some bubble bath for the hot tub ya puff

Isnt this the place that has went into administration? or am i thinking of somewhere else, sure i saw a post about this

No it was DP motorsport in Ayr that has closed up shop, DR motorsport is different.

Hi All,

As the title suggests I am going to see this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2366695.htm on Sunday as a straight swap for my Audi http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1848425.htm

Anybody got any thoughts if this is a good deal or not - been without a Scoob for a while now and after having the Audi advertised for a while and not having anyone come up with a decent Impreza I thought it was pretty close to the mark.

Feedback welcome.

Cheers

Gary

Thats a nice clean car Gary about time too you were back in a scoob i might add!!you have been away too long, post up on how it goes, blobs rule

Seen it, done it got the t shirt, it is not a bad day at all, 3 trips in the car 2 with you driving and 1 flat out with the instructor, you dont really ever get out of 2 nd gear as there is no need. It is great fun and would recommend it to anyone for a fun day out, i think if it was a club day it would be even better.

Grant it is not often i am lost for words but tonight i just dont know what to say to your health news, you have a great wee co-driver in Imy who will always be there for you and dont forget yer gravel crew at sidc they will always be there for you too pal, keep yer chin up dude and Daves right there are lots of Donkeys at St Boswells well overdue a visit.

Al i hope things work out for you as well next week that news is equally shocking.

Chat soon Guys

update got torch out washed down wing and theres a nice dent in it right on the wheel arch , guys away now so cant say nethin to him , and still pissed off

p.s anyone know anybody good for getting dents out thats cheap?

But surely if you know him if he is your neighbour you can show him the damage and tell him to pay for the repair? if not phone the police and report it and tell them exactly who did it.

Ill tell you who it wasn't.........

So sad what happened to the Fatboy I loved the look of that car

Hilarious

I'm looking at purchasing new tyres for the scoob and normally use Eagle F1's but due to cash restraints and needing new shocks at the same time, I'm having to look for cheaper alternatives.

I've found some Toyo Proxes T1-r's for £72.00 each on Camskill Performance's website which seems cheap so I was wondering if anyone has used Camskill before and wondering what sort of mileage I'm likely to get from T1-r's?

Thanks

Kim

Hi Kim

I have purchased 3 sets of tyres from them and the service has been frst class every time, I would recommend them, cannot tell you what mileage you will get from the T1 -R as I have never used them, no doubt someone else will comment on the tyres shortly.

cheers

John

Thanks John, where'd you see it last time?

Anyone else?

It was at the NECC In Brum, stayed at a travel lodge a few miles away from the venue, defo worth a hurl.

This for me S12 WRC car, i would just sit and look at it all day :kerstsmiley:

Now added to Xmas list

for 4 minute video on You Tube of the Vision stand at Castle Coombe

filmed and edited by Peter Farrow, one of the Series McRae owners that were on the stand with us

Superb wee video loved seeing the Talbots again I loved those cars, looks like a good weekend at Castle Coombe, here is hoping the weather is kind to you this year at the Rally of Scotland.

Competition here

Tempted to give it a go myself

I am thinking there might just be a few Gags coming about the new car and the fact that Subaru are now giving them away !!

I had mine done at Nobles and I was in at 8am and back on the road by 8.50am on my way back to work, they had 2 mechanics on it so was a bit quicker.

The Garage is taking the absolute mick charging you for 8 hours!

Was wondering if anyone had attended this last year and if so would you recommend it?

Fancy a nosey but if it's overpriced rubbish (and it is pricey) then I'll not be bothering!!

Anyone from Scotland already heading?

Hi Baz

I went last year and the show in the halls was ok not brilliant but ok, the really good bit is the top gear live show, it was very very good and made the trip very worthwhile.

It doubles up with a classic car show so there are a lot of older cars there as well, my old man was into his old cars so he really enjoyed it.

Hope that helps pal.

cheers

J

Nice looking car,enjoy and watch the splitter I have the same problem when driving into my street

cheers

John

Found these today when scooting around the world wide web, I like the foosty and the DS3, the Mini in Gravel spec is lets just say work in progress

Enjoy

John
