Keen to watch this get built!
Apart from what you have said, can you fathom any reason for the lack of co operation from Subaru? It just doesn't make any sense to me not to promote the brand..
As for your GC8 I was lucky enough for you to take me for a spin in it around Barbs for a few laps after an WRX owners club day out there a number of years ago. Fucking awesome was the impression that was left on me which helped fuel my desire to get into it a whole heap more.
I think the impression you left on me is a far cry from the one I left on you
Good luck!
