Cool 1993 WRX Cumbria Trip & New Sticker.

Bought this car 30th July and done two major road trips in it already. I'm really pleased with the way these pictures came out.

Enjoy.











And an important recent addition to the car...

Was one of your roadtrips to the Nurburgring?

Yep, and it was by far and away the most terrifying thing I've ever done.

I did 11 laps, span on one of them at 60+mph but *LUCKILY* missed everything so no harm done.

I took a few experienced guys out for rides and they estimated (excluding the traffic, of which there was loads) I was doing between 9:30 and 10:30 laps.

I timed myself from the gantry to the pit lane at 10:35, but that includes two yellow flag incidents, an un-flagged crash and the fact I always crawl along the main straight in 2nd gear to let the thing cool down before I had to park it.

Yery pleased overall but I'm not sure I'd ever go again. Too much carnage.

Our group took 4 cars out there but crashed two of them...

We had a biker hit so hard he landed in a tree, a 911 on its' roof, a lady biker fell off and came within metres of being run over by an Elise, a biker colliding with a BMW and breaking his leg, no end of minor shunts and spins, a few in the armco and a few dropping their fluids. That's rather too much excitement for me!

That said, I'm already craving another shot at it...

I'm actually most scared by the armco bills. A decent stack into those can cost thousands and coupled with the loss of the car that's a big bill!
