RE: The great Subaru Brat relay
Discussion
Outstanding work gents, outstanding!
My earliest memory of a BRAT was a beige one my old man had on a farm when I was about 7 (I think) I remember it smelling like sheep dip and pipe tobacco and having the ability to never ever get stuck. We also had the estate version, christ knows what it was... an old W reg I think, as in the first time round. Think that's what sparked interest in Subarus, loved the first generation Legacy Turbo... but yet never owned any.

I have always wanted a Brumby (Australian name for the brat). They seem like the perfect tool to have lying about for odd jobs and collecting parts.
Sort of like a really awesome wheel barrow.
What a great story!
I had the pleasure of going to buy a second hand subaru from Aberdeen. It was a short plane ride up there from East London Airport and it started snowing hard when I arrived, so I knew I would be driving home. 8hrs 45mins though snow and rain to get back in my new forester, brutal.
The Subaru MV is a great little car. I imagine WRX running gear and engine would be a lot of fun too, but its a big job.

Thanks for all your interest and compliments guys. It's an interesting little car, that's for sure. It has also turned my Friday into a bizarre day. I was interviewed by BBC radio at lunchtime and, now, I'm off home to go and organise the tuck to be parked-up so that Sky News can interview me.
4.30 this afternoon on your tellybox, apparently.

What a marvelous tool. But enough about Findlay.
The BRAT (Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter) is quite a thing. Here it is visiting the concrete cows in Milton Keynes (with the Recreational Activity Vehicle 4WD):

Epic trip with such a cool car. Good luck and enjoy the BRAT.
