    For those interested, there are a few more shots of the young ladies here on my FB page: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.479583765393197.119509.248878411797068&type=1

  2. Another option is an SIDC track day like the one we have booked on the 9th June. SIDC members can get 4 hours track time from 9-1 for only £115 and there is free instruction included from a Knockhill instructor as well :)

  3. SUBARU ENSURES ‘EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF’ WITH UK’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE

    AFTERCARE PACKAGE

    Subaru UK is raising customer care to a new level with the launch this month

    of a new three-year aftercare package called Everything Taken Care of

    (Subaru ETCo).

    Included in the price of every new Subaru, Subaru ETCo is the most

    comprehensive and targeted three-year aftercare package currently on offer

    to motorists in the UK, offering a host of potential benefits worth over

    £7,000.

    Subaru ETCo comprises 11 different elements, all designed to make running

    and owning a new Subaru easier and more beneficial than ever, not to mention

    the cost benefits with each of the services provided free of charge. Subaru

    ETCo’s comprehensive package includes:

    * Minor dent and scratch repairs

    * Alloy wheel repairs

    * Monthly wash ‘n’ vac

    * Annual makeover – full valet

    * Lost keys replacement

    * Service collection and delivery

    * Annual wheel alignment check

    * First MOT cover (and contribution to repairs)

    * Accident management service

    * Insurance excess cover contribution

    * Winter wheel and tyre storage

    These benefits can also be passed on to subsequent owners of the vehicle,

    helping to enhance the vehicle’s residual values. Subaru ETCo will be

    offered in addition to Subaru’s three-year (60,000-mile) manufacturer’s

    warranty, 12-year anti-corrosion bodyshell cover and three-year paintwork

    warranty, and also lasts for three years.

    Marketing Director of Subaru UK, Kenyon Neads, said: “Totally free with

    every new Subaru, this innovative – and we believe industry leading

    programme – is a package of services and promises, specifically designed to

    complement the lifestyle of the typical Subaru buyer and to enhance the car

    ownership experience – year after year. Subaru ETCo is available to all

    Subaru retail customers and we believe it has no rival in the UK as an

    aftercare package.”

    Subaru ETCo in detail

    * Minor dent and scratch repairs

    The trials of modern motoring mean that small dings and scratches to a car’s

    exterior are inevitable. Subaru ETCo provides free minor dent and scratch

    repair worth up to £1,000 per year, over three years (up to £3,000 in

    total). It’s the kind of cover that will also benefit owners by reducing

    their insurance claims and premiums, while maintaining their car’s resale

    value.

    * Alloy wheel repairs

    Alloy wheels can be vulnerable to damage against kerbs. Subaru ETCo offers

    free repairs, carried out by wheel specialists, to scuffs and chips and

    worth up to £1,000 over three years.

    * Monthly wash ‘n’ vac

    To ensure that Subaru owners enjoy the maximum feel-good factor, Subaru ETCo

    includes a free ‘wash and vac’ every month, for 11 months each year and for

    three years.

    * Annual makeovers

    In addition to the monthly wash ‘n’ vac, once a year owners under Subaru

    ETCo will get a free full valet and cosmetic makeover: a kind of a ‘spa’

    treatment for each new Subaru owner’s car so it comes up gleaming and ready

    for whatever activity they’ve got in mind.

    * Lost key replacement

    Even Subaru owners have been known to lose their car and house keys… Subaru

    ETCo only needs the registration number and a few identity details to get

    replacement keys on the way. And amazingly – given the price of today’s

    sophisticated keys – they will be supplied free, once per year to the value

    of £350, for three years.

    * Service collection and delivery

    Subaru ETCo is all about making Subaru ownership hassle-free and enjoyable.

    So when it comes to scheduled maintenance, Subaru dealers will collect,

    service and return a vehicle to the owner’s office or home – within a

    25-mile radius of the dealership – free of charge.

    * Annual wheel alignment check

    Tracking can be knocked out of true by striking kerbs or an obstruction

    off-road – affecting steering feel and tyre wear. Subaru ETCo will cover a

    complete, four-wheel alignment check once a year, free of charge. This will

    ensure that the tyres do not suffer premature wear and could save money for

    the Subaru user. Any corrective work required may be chargeable.

    * First MOT cover

    Many Subaru owners keep their new car for much more than three years, so

    there is often the requirement to present it for its first MOT. Subaru ETCo

    will cover the cost of this and in the unlikely event of a failure, will

    also pay for rectification repairs up to the value of £300 in total.

    * Accident management service

    While every Subaru is fully equipped with ‘active safety’ technology to

    avoid daily hazards, sometimes a collision is unavoidable. The inevitable

    stress can be dissipated by one phone call (even before calling the

    insurance company) to Subaru ETCo which operates in the UK 24 hours a day,

    365 days a year. No matter what happened or who’s to blame, Subaru ETCo will

    organise a courtesy car, liaise with the insurer and make sure the car is

    repaired by approved Subaru technicians, using only approved parts, and

    protecting the warranty.

    * Insurance excess cover

    Subaru ETCo’s Accident Management Service will also cover the cost of any

    excess on the Subaru owner’s insurance policy, up to £300 per year, for

    three years.

    * Winter wheel and tyre storage

    To complement Subaru’s legendary All-Wheel-Drive security and ensure maximum

    peace of mind, Subaru ETCo guarantees owners the ultimate ‘ready for Winter’

    package. After purchasing a spare set of wheels with winter tyres, Subaru

    dealers will keep them safely stored for the owner, for free, until he/she

    decides it’s time to make the change over.

  4. Looks very nice :)

    If it's the RE-070s you have fitted, then you are right that they won't be much use on the winter roads up here, but they are spot on for the summer. I now run with two sets of wheels and tyres for mine, one for December - March and another set for the rest of the year. Get the performance in all weathers :)
