We invite you to our Sept meeting, taking place on Saturday 20th,
at which we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Impreza, by offering you the opportunity to enhance the handling of your car.

Here's an outline of the day. Locals (to me) can meet at the usual Coopers venue from around 10.30am. At 11.00 sharp we head off on a scenic drive to Scaynes Hill, near Haywards Heath, where there is a very fine public house called "The Farmers", on the A272 itself. Here we shall munch and imbibe. Directly opposite the pub is Scaynes Hill Garage, part of the Gatwick Motors Group, where the workshop and some keen (Subaru trained) staff will be available with a variety of handling improvement kits for classics and new-age. These can be tried on your car during the course of the afternoon. You are under no obligation to buy, the fitting service is free, and the kit can be taken off with your car returned to normal (whatever that is) for your trip home.

If you don't fancy the drive from Eastbourne, just drop in at the pub or the garage when you fancy, and marvel at the goings-on. Gatwick Subaru's own adopted test pilot, Subarman, will be available to discuss his experiences of the modifications on offer.

If it gets busy, and you don't get a chance to try the kit on the day, you can make your own arrangements for a trial fitting up at Gatwick Subaru.

This is a service to the local Subaru community, and is not a direct dealer promotion. Of course they would like you to buy stuff, and for you to become their customers, but you are under no obligation. And remember, the main meet is in the pub over the road. This is a side attraction to meeting up with your mates for a gossip/physical interaction and should be treated as such.

Keith, well done for organising this - great result. Sadly we won't be able to make it as we won't have the scoob then....

Good luck to all though, sounds like a great day.

what sort of handling mods are available for testing...??

If there's an AntiLift Kit for a classic (MY00) then I'll see if I can make the meet...

Will find out about anti lift kit.

Imports are okay, AFAIK. Will check.

SHOCK HORROR!!! I hear that, to replace the Scoob, Glenn has bought himself an MGB Roadster, cloth cap and scarf for Caroline!!!! Shame we could not have provided you with a Scoob cabriolet or something. Still, if you like the fresh air that much, then that's your business. Will you bring it to a meet, Glenn? Is it red? Has it got wire wheels?

LOL...been there, done that....nearly as uncomfortable as a caterham for me !

Not sure what will be next....maybe back to a porker....something light and powerful....maybe heavy and powerful...or maybe do the sensible thing and pay a chunk off the mortgage and buy a RC Scoob !

Will be there, also see you next weekend (maybe with a few more add-ons).
Any idea what there prices are as I'm tempted just to buy the things anyway from Jap Innovations.

It's a handling test day - so only handling kits. However, Gatwick Motors are starting to get into the aftermarket tuning stuff - have a chat to them.

Keith, are similar offers available to drivers of cars that they sell (ie Scoobs . Evos) after the event as we cannot make it on the day ....and would we just mention the dreaded phrase... "we know Suberman"....and when they stop laughing, they'd do us a deal ?!?

Yes - you will still get the free fitting and take it off if you don't like it afterwards. That's primarily cos there may not be time on the day to fit everybody in. Just make your own appointment and mention "that weird bloke", or "test pilot", and you're laughing (just like them).
