Was a fun event, however, was disappointed by the turn out. Half of the people who signed up didn't show . I guess a lot of people respect Tristan's opinion on the matter. Very disappointing and suprising. I know that some people can have work or are busy but there are definitely more than 14 who can compete.
Its alright Chano and Phonso, I understand some people are busy but the people I'm talking about are those other people who weren't but don't want to participate. I'm not saying that I'm holding a gun against a person's head and tell them "JOIN OR ELSE!" but I mean there have been 766 views of the thread, there can't be 10 or 20 out of those people can join?
Hi guys,
I'm very sorry, couldn't make it to home in time. i left the office early enough to catch the race but there was an incredible traffic everywhere, so i took the ferry to gain some time...it wasn't enough.
It was good of you to stage the event - and marked a line in the sand for Colin. I could not make your event - like I couldnt make the 2 I should have been at today (work commitments this morning).
My RL car club, were at a Rally show today at Chatsworth House. We were fortunate to have Colins CHampionship winning Subaru on our club stand. (We are affiliated with Prodrive who own his old car). At 4 pm, the Rally demos were halted and the only engine you ould here was his car - running for 1 minute, then applauded by over 150 Subarus "Sounding off". If you want to see the tribute our club paid to him - check the next edition of Fast Car Mag (the car won the FAST CAR best stand award)
The 2nd event I missesd was a run up to Lanark to his funeral - attended by 127 cars (all Subarus of many shapes and sizes). A 2 lane convoy up the M6 - Then down into Lanark for the funeral.
Today was a a sad day, made good by all those who loved colin and what he did. He made many people like me, want to own Subarus, and want to drive them very much like he did.
Getting back to the point.
It did not matter how many turned up - what you all did by being there was enough.
