Got any pictures of car number 147, Subaru Impreza that competed, David Welsh/Stuart Cant? 37th overall in the Reviers? Wasnt there (was planning to but couldnt make it unfortunately). You see the new STi roll ?

Kelso - Jim Clark perchance?

Nice one. Just be really energetic and positive about it all, they'll see you are keen and enthusiastic and you never know what'll happen.

Just ask if they need anyone to do general odd jobs here and there, I got onto the Subaru apprenticeship 2 years after doing work experience and working there, who knows, I might end up on the Rally team in a few years. Go for it! :)

Because maybe they need apprentices to move cars into the bays for servicing? Or to go get fuel? Or to pickup/deliver a car? Or to take a car on a road test to diagnose any problems with the car? In a dealership of less than 5 mechanics/apprentices, and in total less than 10 staff, it is needed, trust me. Spend any amount of time in a garage environment and you'll see why.

Work for a Scooby dealership, insured on all the cars :)

Cheers, most of my static car pictures come out poor due to reflections in the showroom (must buy a polariser!) Camera is a Canon 400D with 18-55 kit lens. They are put through some subtle changes in Photoshop. The STi picture was shot in RAW and converted. Fun fact : That grey STi was the first one into the UK, working for UK dealer of the year for a few years running has it's advantages !

New company car anyone? I'd prefer this though ;) :)

Forgot to comment on this - yes it is lovely, more to the point it runs on a V8 !! Was a twin-hayabusa setup but that was changed to a V8.

Nice one, dont do it as often now... Had a big set of racekites and a racing buggy which I sold lsat month for a bit of dosh... dont really miss it to be honest, so busy with work at the moment that I dont get much free time!

Wont be at the JTS unfortunately, bloomin work ! Heres some more pictures of my other nutter-sport... :)

It's on a disc somewhere so will get it in the morning as i'm having to head off now, early start tomorrow. Here's 22 pages of pictures to keep you all entertained. http://www.carspottings.co.uk/adam If any of you want info on the event send me a PM and will sort you out, it's coming again next month. Mega fun, but it's an early start so you've been warned! :D

Will go find a high-res of the Evo, 2 seconds..

:)

I'll take Koji Aoyama's Enzo please. Oh, and the rest of his car collection too. MC12 corsa please! His Enzo is stunning though. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

The Melling Hellcat was just a project made by numpties who cant quite work out that big cars dont go fast. It has the aerodynamics of a bloody brick and would be very lucky if it reached 200mph to be perfectly honest. Plus, with its "quad turbo, 1175bhp engine", it'll never do that because there wont be near enough any traction. I've just spent my morning reading about a car being built in NZ - around 900bhp pulling about 1500ft/lb torque - that thing spins its wheels in fourth, so unless Melling have some absolute mega gear ratios or some bloody good traction system, there will never be enough space to get to 300. ETA : Here's Melling's predictions of vmax - -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- Now, lets take the Veyron for instance. On an engine dyno that will pull about 1300bhp, but road factors limit that to 1001. Now if VW/Bugatti put absolutely billions into that project (if you work it out - development costs / number of cars, they lose about £4-5million on each) , how can some company that hardly anyone has heard of do it. I'm not trying to knock them, but it's an impossible task.

Thats if it gets to the M25 in the first place :D

Wont be at the JTS, other commitments unfortunately. It is a hell of an impressive car, although Zen's car is also a cracker, if anyone no here is a member on ScoobyNet, their project section is great, people entering Time Attack through companies and some privately. On another forum, there is a Time Attack Supra being built... I dont know if they run TA in Sweden or wherever it is built - but i'll say 2 things - Monsterous Engine and Fully carbon body. Whos for a teaser pic :D?? http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn199/Stiansen9/10%20Prosjekt/IMG_3146.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn199/Stiansen9/10%20Prosjekt/IMG_2934.jpg :):)

Like most Scottish car companies it'll be a flop. I guarantee it.

Hardcore mode, no aids, G25 wheel. It's the best way :D

Love petrol, hate diesel fumes. Oil smells the best though, along with Thinners and a Tar+Glue remover.

Har har, I've got one in a few hours then i'm off till the 2nd ;)

I want to move but stay in the same country. It's the Highlands of Scotland for me. I hate hot weather, so staying in Scotland is perfect, and you just have to admire the scenery (oh, and the roads! ;)) -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- :)

David, is the new "Lambo" dealership in Edinburgh share a similar name with a certain TV program? If so let me know, got pics you might want to see ;)

Cheers lads, had a Maths exam this morning (ugh) but time to partay now !
