The Subaru World Rally Team at Goodwood Festival of Speed today.

I don't usually go in for all this 'thank you' stuff, as you know, but - when something is given to you freely and willingly then I feel it is a step beyond and appropriate to post a public Thank You.

To all those involved in making my (and my daughters) day I thank you - your names will remain closely guarded - but you know who you are!

Meeting Petter Solberg was great - really nice bloke ...... Mike Bushell, from BBC Sport was there getting scared out of his skin Watch it after the hourly news tomorrow morning!!

It was good to meet Colin McRae too - he will be using the Subaru WRC tomorrow (Saturday).

The lunch was jolly good too - I did leave some for the others

Cheers again lads and lasses - brilliant!!!

Did you tell them how to make their front pads last a little longer then pete ?

pslewis

That Petter Solberg drives like a madman ...... he'll never get 66,500 miles out of the pads driving like that!!!

I had a good look around the WRC ....... not a CockLink is sight

Pete, for a second there I thought you'd had your Impreza modified and you were thanking the mapper for his good work !

Glad you and the young lasses enjoyed Goodwood. Never been myself - on the "to do before I reach 21" list.

pslewis

It's a fantastic Motor Show - relaxing and you can get close to some of the stars

Just watched Mike Bushell on the TV this morning nearly throwing up Mind you, between you and me, he did woooof his lunch down yesterday!!

Cool, i hope you pointed out that modding the cars will reduce the life of the car, Subaru spend £££££££'s developing the car... eh Pete

pslewis

They were all ears to my suggestions - the new WRC will not be running on Gold wheels in 2008, all forms of CockLink devices are to be banned (in fact there isn't any anyway, and there will be none introduced!!)

I explained to Petter over lunch, that, if he took the corners more gently the brake pads would last longer as will the tyres .... and easing off the throttle will more than TRIPLE his mpg figures

He seemed to take it all on-board

I have here a Goodwood ticket signed by Petter Solberg and Colin McRae

The Zohan

LMAO!

I can just picture it, glad you and yours had a great day out Pete

pslewis

Cheers Paul

Did anyone find a Subaru Merchandise Trade Stand? - couldn't find one ..... was there one?

There was one last year - seemed to be missing this year?

DevilHimSelf

I think they heard you were coming Pete!


Glad you saw the REAL side of Subaru
