Sunday Drivers
Hello all. My first venture in to the world of flat fours. Many may know me from other forums . I'm a massive fan of cars in general. But competition and competition vehicles have always been a major attraction for me.

I am a mechanic by trade (Nissan) but now work in a family business. I occasionally race karts (125 open). I did a session and a bit of Mondello fiestas. I've also done a bit of Rallycross and autocross. I have been convinced to to a bit of night naving for the winter months which leads me here

I've just picked up my first Subaru , a sh*t box 99 2.0 na it has been the victim of a few less than fantastic owners. But it's fairly rust free , it runs and it was very very cheap. I'll post up a few pictures shortly

And I look forward to chatting with you all
 
This in the car, embarrassingly this is the newest car i have ever owned :facepalm:



my interests started in the VAG group and the pinicle of this for me was the MK3 that i built with the help of Tango


it had about 270BHP and took an awful long time to build. i did 2 or 3 trackdays and sold it to build my fiesta


i really loved the racing but some elements coupled with the travel and having young kids ment i took a break which led me to trade the car in for a 205 rallycross car. it was a stockhatch. and i would recommend everyone to try rallycross . the people involved are some of the soundest i have come across always willing to lend a hand and just general good crack and that goes for everyone from the supercar lads all the way down.

i sold it off a few months ago to buy a ring (14 years 2 kids and a house later) and i really hate Peugeots
i have my next rallycross build lined up but it will be next season before i get out again.

what else.. oh landrovers i quite like them as well.

yup thats the one. Turlock made it road legal i had it very questionable with the pedal box and such. he has it for sale again i think. i have been tempted to get it back but i think it is best to look back through my rose tinted glasses
