saw quite a few on the m25 coming home last night about 10pm.

Was weird to just come across them, quite a few all driving together. Made me want to get one...

Epic homage to a true legend...

Brings back memories of when Richard Burns passed away, watching the 22b's going round combe in a convoy actually made me well up...

Simply amazing.

Huge credit to the subaru 'scene' for pulling off such a massive operation and providing such a great tribute.

I went to this on Sunday with my sister and her boyfriend in their Subarus I took a load of photos but I haven't had time to sort them out yet.

In the ariel photo above in the middle of the letter C that was us talking to the Police interceptors in front of my sister's car, the car next to her moved when they went home before the record was complete so David Lapworth drove Colin's 96 Championship Subaru down and parked it next to hers Photos to follow.
