RE: PH ‘Silverstone Sunday Service’ Meet This Weekend
Discussion
Thaks for the compliment, although it needs a good clean and T cut, plus a few mods to give it a bit more poke. Amazingly every so often I see an identical sportwagen to mine in the town I live in, (Chelmsford). I say amazing as I have only ever seen one other identical model! Its nice to have a fairly unique car, living in the South East and working in London Sportwagens are actually rarer than Porsches, Lambos, Ferrari's etc.
The only problem i have is what to replace it with. It's a company car and costs me a fortune in company car tax due to the high Co2 emissionss. I am tempted by the Litchfield warmed over new Impreza which they say will have over 300bhp and 300 lb/ft but as yet they don't know what the Co2 emissions will be, (after all you don't buy a scoobie for its looks). What other practical fast new car for under / around £27k should I consider that won't cost an arm and a leg due to its high Co2 emissions? (Sorry for going off on a tangent).
And a very nice Black 04 WRX it was too...Seeing two in the same place at the same time namely the Sunday Service doesn't happen often Long live the Sportwagon!!!

This was my first PH event and I had a great time. However I was a bit of a wus as I didn't say speak to anyone! Sorry for that, I promise to chat to you all next time!
I have also taken a few pics, if any of them are any good I will post them tomorrow.
I was the guy in the olive green Le Mans t-shirt and shorts in the 04 black WRX estate, (not the bug eye at the other end of the car park), parked next to my mates black boxster with a very loud exhaust.

I had a good time on Sunday, too. Glad to hear you all did! Apologies if i appeared a smidge miserable in the ticket office - I'd been up since five and was running on three hours sleep and no breakfast!
Heheh, you'd never last as a marshal then!!!! Seriously though, no worries, you seemed ok when I arrived.
A belated thanksyou to all at PH for a great day out. Sorry I didn't say hello to most folks but my wife and daughter both get bored easilly plus the fact that I had to leave earily as I had a nice round trip to do (Caterham > Silverstone, back home to Caterham to drop the family off and then over to Bristol for a week long course)
Anyway, here's some of the pictures for you:
