I had a message on my work anasphone tonight from A guy called "Alan Langer" or some thing like that from Subaru head office.
I have no idea what he wants
Has anyone else been contacted by him today or does anyone know him or know why he might want to speak to me

I know this is mad but im a worrier & am hoping that someone can put my mind to rest
Otherwise i will worry all weekend til i can call him back on Monday !

Cheers Guys thanks for your help

 

Yeah, I had a call too - he is asking some people if they want to run an STi for a year all expenses paid, to test them. I said nah thanks its too ruddy ugly for such a handsome fellow such as I!!

Seems a good offer though??

Pete

 

Surely a wind up this cant be true ?

 

Yeh 'foned me too.
Offered the STi - said I'll think about it.

 

Me too!

Only this time I have to drive the WRC car round corsica?

What the bloody hell is that all about!

 

what do you drive & why you ?

 

You need to pay the petrol - which I thought was a cheek

Pete

 

I drive a MY01

Bizarre!

 

Ignore davyboy - hes just playing wiff ya!!

Apparently those who purchased a NEW Impreza over the last 10 years went into a hat - he only rings ONCE so I hear?

Pete

 

ive never brought a new car
brought two second hands ones
& he left me a number to call him !
Did the same guy call you both ?

 

Nah mate!

Honest, they are a bit short of Drivers next week. Said I would to 'em a turn behind the wheel innit?

 

I got my call nearly 3weeks ago. This is STi Wagon. Know what you mean about fuel. I have to log everything that goes in it. Filled yesterday.59.49l=13.10galls. 257.6mls=19.66mpg. Sucks.

 

How did he get YOUR name Fulham then???

Maybe they put into the hat the second/third owners too?? did you get a warranty on the ones you bought second-hand? maybe thats how they got your name?

Would you be interested then?? It means writing a report at the end of the year too

Pete

 

*LMAO*

 

WHY RUM

 

Alan Langer 'foned me too.

I drive a P1 here mate.

 

It IS insured by Schofield Insurance too - sort of a publicity stunt - still, if you want an STi for a year I would drive to Subaru UK tomorrow and get your name down

Pete

 

Only 10 people I think he said.
I'd get up there tomorrow if I were you!

 

they arent open til Monday !

 

Isnt alan langer the talent scout for the WRC?

 

10???

**** thats not many - mind you the offer stinks if you need to buy the petrol - doesnt it??

Or am I just being too cynical??

Never mind, I said no so thats that then

Pete

 

Special day opening tomorrow - and the cars are going to be in the Corsica livery colours to make it a special event - top gear are covering the hand over of keys

Pete

 

oh well my loss cant be there tomorrow
P1 being delivered back to me in the morning

 

 

You got the same e-mail I did then davyboy??

Thats just the picture they attached to my e-mail

Can you see me in THAT thing driving about here??

Pete

They even spelt my name wrong on the side window for gods sake!!

Leave it to me then, I just know you hate gold wheels.

Do you wanna meet on the m1 before meeting in Fen End?

 

They are going to put REAL MANS wheels on for me, Anthracites, handbags with the golds!!

Yeah meet ya - M1 - Service Station??

Pete

 

Watford gap, 8.30?

Are you driving or are you getting a lift with your significant other?

I'll be in the White MY01. With "off white" wheels

 

8:30 thats a bit late isnt it? the day is over then!!

Are you saying that there are TWO 8:30's in a day??

Pete

Stop winding him up guys, this could be serious. Apparently a handful of P1's, relating to a specific production line run, have a serious engine problem. Not sure of the details but it is being described as a pontential time bomb, IM have traced chassis numbers involved and are personally contacting the owners.
