Yeah, I had a call too - he is asking some people if they want to run an STi for a year all expenses paid, to test them. I said nah thanks its too ruddy ugly for such a handsome fellow such as I!!

Seems a good offer though??

Question

How did he get YOUR name Fulham then???

Maybe they put into the hat the second/third owners too?? did you get a warranty on the ones you bought second-hand? maybe thats how they got your name?

Would you be interested then?? It means writing a report at the end of the year too

It IS insured by Schofield Insurance too - sort of a publicity stunt - still, if you want an STi for a year I would drive to Subaru UK tomorrow and get your name down

Exclamation

Stop winding him up guys, this could be serious. Apparently a handful of P1's, relating to a specific production line run, have a serious engine problem. Not sure of the details but it is being described as a pontential time bomb, IM have traced chassis numbers involved and are personally contacting the owners.
