Hi All

I have just had a call from Richard Burns' office and have been told that there will be a post from Richard Burns on here later today.

I have reserved the name "Richard Burns" (exactly like that), so that we can authenticate the message.



Cheers

Simon

Will his posting be under wheels and tyres or is he asking what mods to make?

Top man!

Is he looking for some driving tips ?

I guess I could give him a couple of pointers, you know just to get him started and all.

I also hear that he is moving to the new Audi WRC team next year, as apparently an S3 can KILL an Impreza

Whats the Icon on this topic all about ? Looks like someone hoovering a rug.

He's not gonna win many races with one of them

mind you those Dyson DS01's probably have at least 50 quadrillion horsepower once they've been chipped.

He's very welcome here, as long as he doesn't drive down my street, at speeds approaching 155 MPH, whilst children are playing outside, in which case I should say 'OI! Burnsie! NOOOOO!'

Chuck - LOL

As it will be his first post - my money is on one of these:

How do I fit a boost gauge?
Why does my car understeer?
Which pressures should I run front & back?

or even -

What is THAT 'Bright Switch' for?

Just kidding - Nice one Simon

Rich.

Prehaps he's up for some "Advanced Driver Training" - me first, god knows I need it loosing out to a Ford Cossie in a handling test

BTW - Will he be speaking to official UK owners only or will he also talk to grey owners as well

Webmaster,

Can we get Mr Burns to use the name 'Six Speed Subaru Killer'? Two reasons - it sort of reflects his performance in the rally of Finland, when he did actually kill one, and it might get rid of the clueless spanner that's been posting twaddle using that name.

Nice work if it comes off, BTW.

It's officially imported by Subaru to the UK & goes straight to Prodrive, (The Great STi Modders themselves ) who as you know won't entertain enquiries for their products from "grey" owners

If Subie Gal finds out she'll wet her knickers. Judging by some of the posts, I'd say half of you lot are as well

Simon / Stef

What about inviting Mr. Burns to put in an appearance at Brands. A lap in the WRC might be fun to watch (especially up against Stef or JF's Westie )

Mike Wood: What would be our chances??

I expect he's after tips on the care of his trunk monkey. I understand the works model is quite a beast!
