Ditto! Crap weather aside. Fantastic short drive down culminating in a twenty
Impreza convoy of various models on the A64. Some awesome runs on the strip including a wolf in sheeps clothing Legacy running 11's!! Andy's runs can be summed up as the perfect way of converting grunt into grip!

Impreza type r in sonic blue. Couldn't miss it big eff off Mickey Thompson drag tyres on it. That Golf has been around for a while it belongs to Grant Parker and has an Audi turbo engine with four wheel drive quattro, it has run low elevens possibly tens.

Don't think so but he's sure gonna give Keith Cowie a run for his money at TOTB later this year! Keith did a 9.4 sec run last year.

I must confess that even though Paul was not driving yesterday, I was still nervous! My heart was totally in my mouth on your second run Andy (esp when you did a tiny wobble!!) Absolutely awesome, I cannot wait for Jap Show and TOTB now - I can feel the Subaru force.

Amazing Car Andy - It was one of the most spectacular displays of speed I've ever seen.

It made it worth the trip alone!

I've rarely heard a few hundred spectators all go 'f*ck me' in chorus! There were fathers covering their childrens ears and then swearing themselves..

Erm yes, nerves and errrr, quality night before

I think that if it rains at TOTB I will charge 10p per spectator sheltering underneath!
