Got to visit Prodrive tonight with Robw and was very impressed. The contents of thier car park is the stuff dreams are made of,22bs, P1s, Forester Turbos, WRX STI RAs and not just a few but loads.

What a set up. Really professional. Got to see the WRC engines being built and the gearboxes and some of the RallyStar team cars being put together.

Also saw Richard Burns car being reassembled and a new 4 door car which we were asked not to photograph from the front. Engine seem to be mounted exectionally low.

It looks the there will be a PPP for the new model and the rally car has a really cool spolier on the back that transforms the looks which I've not seen before. Let hope this is available as an option too. Funny to see the fitting bay where all PPP cars are done. PPPs must account for a tiny part of thier business as the only have the one fitting bay for this.

I have some piccies if someone can host them.

I've also got some posters I'll try and bring to Donno for exchange for donation to Children In Need

I'll set you up an account if you
like, e-mail me off-list if interested
Allan.

I think I need to get my tracking done because every time I drive past prodrive the car seems to pull to the right, in the direction of their building. Odd.

my car starts leaping around like herbie,
gets all excited it does... maybe we should
do a formation flypast sometime ... anyone

AllanB

Guys, you have mail. It might be the case that we could have an SIDC/Scoobynet day there. I beleive number are limited to around 15-20 people. I think these places would be filled in minutes and they said they turn down most people who ask .

I'll see if this is possibility.

If you want to know more about what we saw ask away .

Anyone interested in the posters for charity. I can get a piccy if you want .

Yes, Any means absolutely any subaru photo of at least some sort of quality.

I won't be using them just yet, but I am planning a huge Subaru photo gallery for the site. I already have about 300 Subaru WRT photos!!! he he, the more the better.

I'll add your photos to the list and will use Allan's when / if he replies as before I use any I want total and absolute permission from the owner of the photos (probably cant use the 555 one you linked to).

Look forward to receiving photos...
