WR1 Owners Club

Got me beast back on Friday and after returning from Chessington on sat decided to hit southend seafront to make up for the 2 months of sat nights i've missed.

After spending 2 hours taking people out for rides ... that came about from my habit of having to check the turbo pipework everytime I stop for an extended period to make sure I haven't melted it again, turned round after lifting the lid and had 12 people standing behind me ... I decided to go out for a long run to basildon.

Happened upon a top class bloke in a black 360 spider at the lights (he was in front of me) who kept looking in the rear view mirror and smiling. The lights went green and he sent that thing sideways at full chat for about 200 yards - obviosely he wanted a race so I gladly obliged. OF course I could keep up for about 10 seconds each time we both dropped a gear before he pulled away and then slowed to let me catch up. He pulled into basildon with me and was well lovin the WR1 - he said "best looking and performing impreza i've seen, had to push a bit to pull on ya"

Love it!!!

pmsl ... it's good fun though taking the old chavs out for blats ... they big the car up so much! Plus I am a bit of an exhibitionist so always got me foot welded to the floor popping the old flames out!

Lol na the people down there are harmless ... 95% are down there because of the cars and not for trouble (despite what the police say) - they were all genuinely interested in the car and will probably never have the chance of going in one or owning one - so I am happy to take people out for a blat to show them how impressive these cars are.

Can give em all blurb about how they should keep on the straight and narrow and get decent jobs also ... probably means nothing to some of them but I feel better about giving some advice.
