Hooligan thanks for that,to get some idea of cost,the '56 plate Rally car was £78k from Prodrive :oops: :cry: :oops: ,then the lads at Autotek,stripped it down :o :o .and to quote them " Put some proper suspension" on it ~~~ They use REIGER shockers at about £3k a corner :roll: :roll:
This car will do the Swedish ~~ first PWRC round,one Middle East Championship round,then it will be sold :roll: :wink: :roll:

If enough are interested,I can arrange a visit to the premises for a look around ~~~ It is like a "mini" Prodrive :wink: :wink:
Slightly embarassing to them, :oops: :oops: I challenged the owner of Prodrive ~~~ Dave Richards at a Dinner function,as to why there was no mention of this success on the TV coverage,That he (Mr Richards) has the Global TV rights to WRC rallying :oops: :roll: ~~ When this underfunded,and undermanned,but highly successful team,Upheld the name of SUBARU in World Rallying circles !!!!
Ahem !!!! he choked on his drink,and stunned silence greeted the room !!!!. :cry: :cry: Ever the diplomat he just changed the subject :twisted:

Basic postcode for the unit is BB18,bearing in mind,they are away a lot.
I know he is in the Uk on the 24th Feb,at my place for dinner :wink: :roll: :wink: so maybe the week after ~~ let me know if ur interested.
Rod.
