Default Hi All Visiting from OZ

HI all , i am currently on exchange with the RN based in HMS Devonport, and am a mad subaru fanatic. I have owned 6 wrx's previously and am currently on my 7th

what else can i say apart from hopefully chat to some of you soon

cheers,
Shane

also if anyone has an 03-05 model wrx (and lives around the area) , with that hideous orange indicator and would like help removing it i have done in excess of 100 cars back home in oz

If you get chance transfer up to Scotland the roads are great. If you have a big bag of MRT or APS kit then fun could be had.

dammm small world , yeah i was lucky enough to be invited along on a wrx cruise whilst i was there, they were just about to get a 4wd dyno on the island, i was pretty horrified about the thought of them driving round with untuned cars and the lower octane fuel

hopefully will be heading up your way whilst in the UK

am looking at going back to Hawaii next year with work, so i will have to look him up again
