Jesse is a very brave young Dutch lad who suffers from a muscle disorder and is confined to a wheelchair.......he is also completely Subaru mad



So when his Mum asked if anyone with a Subaru would mind taking him for a drive one day?

....this happened



over 150 cars turned up







What a completely brilliant day out
150 cars in convoy c/w police escort



Jon

 

Excellent Jon, Thats what having these cars should be all about!!

Making peoples lives better!!!

Well done mate!!

 

cheers Ron,actually it was a very moving experience....on the estate where the young lad lives all the neighbours in the entire road left their driveways free so that we all had somewhere to park.....and when his mum came straight over to me to thank me for coming 'all the way from England'...ooooh me bottom lip was tremblin' like a goodun

 

That is great!! Nearly got a tear in my eye. Dont you just love most scooby drivers

 

What a set of jolly good chaps!!

 

That is so super cool and breathtaking!!! Makes me proud for being a Impreza driver
If I had heard about this event earlier, I'd propably would have mobilized some Swiss scooby drivers

 

thats amazing- real community spirit!

And yes this boy had the day of his life.

 

This was a seriously cool meeting

Yesterday was the day of the meeting:



After we had gathered 164 Impreza's near Rotterdam in an office area near the home town of Jesse, we started a 30-minutes trip by car to the home of Jesse.

There were also one police motorcycle and two police cars accompanying the HUGE assembly.
The trip was quite nice, and lots of people came out of their houses to look at the cars, wave and shout! Really nice. My brother and I had a bit of luck, as we were driving behind one of the (few) Mitshubishi EVO's that were also attending.

Once we got to Jesse's home, there were lots of people standing in the square in front of his house (drivers; co-drivers; family; neighbours etc.) As the crowd consisted of 164 Impreza's, there was a "slight" parking problem, and the whole neighbourhood was stopped at its feet.

Anyway, once Jesse and his two brothers were given a few gifts (posters, R/c cars, a t-shirt signed by Petter Solberg himself), we started the second part of the journey. Again under police escort, we had a drive of about one hour to the next stop. It was really nice to drive at 130 kilometers an hour on a out-of-town road, while being chased by a police motor with the sirens flashing, and NOT being stopped for speeding

I think that a lot of people were very busy with the arrangements of this day, and thank them for it.

One more photo of the day:


I think that Subaru community really showed its best here.

 

Just a couple more,but well worth a look.....pics taken from the SCN website

 

One of our members pointed out this post on our Forum, I would like to take this opportunity to congatulate all that took part in this momentous event. As owners of performance cars, we sometimes forget about the real important issues in life, and get bogged down with our own interests . For all of you that took part, the Club spirit that you have shown in bringing some happiness and joy to a young lad less fotunate is highly commendable.

hello my name is Andre and i was the lucky one that have drove the little lad around?!?! it was a fantastic day for him his parents and also for us. when he heard the pssst from the dumpvalve he looked at us whit a smile i will never forget.

ive also have a question the man from england i did talk to had the chrome bulbs indicator lights in his wrx,i am looking for a long time for those bulbs can you please give me a link to where i can buy these bulbs?i'le be very greatfull.

greetzz from holland

 

Well said that man!

Excellent Stuff! I am glad to say that I took part in another such event for a young lad with the same/similar disorder last year (October/November) and it was a thoroughly satisfying experience to have brought such joy to someone.

We also did a Xmas pressy run to Derby Children's hospital a week or two later. Isn't it strange that high performance car drivers can be so badly tarnished with bad press in the media and eyes of the general public (and often by their own hand), but when we do something like this and stuff for charities - it isn't recognised! Shame!

Well done to all involved!

 

Well done guys, now that's community spirit!

Looks like a top day out!

 

well done lads.that is spot on!!

steve

 

well done to all involved, I am sure that will be a day Jesse will never forget.

Good on all of you for making that such a special day for him.

 

Brilliant, just brilliant, well done, you're a credit to society let alone a credit to the performance car world.

Great to see the pics, well done

Thanks for brightening my day

 

Andre
