Well the time has finally come for me to step up to the challenge of "Time Attack".
But first i need to say a massive thank you to a few people.

Mocom Racing - Zak thanks for the hard work in getting the car ready fro the event. I know we're not quite finished, but it is an awesome bit of kit now! and of course i need to mention Frayz, who has helped Zak along the way.

ABW- Darren & Rob thank you for getting the car looking so Cool.... I love the black track wheels!!! and my cars never looked so shiny.

AS Performance - Alyn (Stockcar) thanks for the brakes, helmet, gloves, boots, fire extinguisher, etc. Can't wait to get the suite ordered and delivered!!!

Expression signs - Dan down in Kent, worked on the car today and finally got her dressed for me.... I'm very happy with the results and YES the car is sponsored! although a couple of the stickers are for effect...

YVM - Neil thanks for the lifts, support, advice and etc.... it's great having friend so close, who also shares my interest in Subaru's and speed!

Finally this is the look of the car..... I hope you like and approve!!!!
And i hope to do both myself, my sponsors and the clubs proud!
