Good news.......if you can trust any weather forecast........Sunday looks dry but cloudy with highs of about 13c.

Rain pushing in later (evening) but who cares, we'll all be burning super unleaded on the way home by then....

Timings are in the first post...........but basically official gates-open time is 11am on Sunday. Event will run til 3pm.

Please aim to arrive about 11 - we want to avoid queueing as far as possible so if people did not all arrive together bang on 11 it would help!

Worse case scenario - that is NOT going to happen

If it all goes to pot, and when you arrive the queue is back to the roundabout on the main road, then PLEASE PLEASE don't join it! Go for a 10 min run round the sights of Banbury and come back again.

The Police have promised to start taking an interest in our cars if the queue backs up that far - cats, tyres, numberplates, tax, insurance, etc.

Many thanks.

Rgds, Ade

Posted this elsewhere.....but incase anyone's not sure about the event, here's an overview -


The idea of the day was simply a gathering of 300 of the best imprezas and their enthusiast owners, at the place that transformed the humble Impreza from a farmer's favourite to a rally icon....to celebrate 20 years since launch in 1992.

The Timeline display will be there to show the physical evolution of the model.

There will be original brochures for virtually every model on display.

The Prodrive Heritage Centre will be open allow up close access to many classic Prodrive vehicles including N1WRC.

We will be having a raffle - more details to follow.

Mission Motorsport will be present with their race car.

Hope that gives you an idea.....

Rgds, Ade

PS Small preview of the current Timeline line-up....

Sorry guys, but due to being too busy this weekend I am not going to be able to make it.

I am number 177 on the official list on the RA website, so if my place can be allocated elsewhere

We'll need:
Username
V-Limited number
Vehicle reg
Paypal receipt - can be paper or on your phone
Or some other proof you are who you are so we can give you your badges & polo shirt(s) if you've ordered them.

Martin PM'd us details of your car reg when he notified us he would be coming in your car instead of his own....Paypal is there as a fall back if there is some doubt/dispute.

Prodrive have had some interest from a couple of quality mags - not sure if/what has been agreed though.

As for the first one you mention......please don't! Therein lies a tale, but rest assured they are not on the invite list

Left this morning at 8am .. got 25 miles in and could hear a noise .. pulled over and my rear arches had taken a few layers of rubber off my tyres due to the 4 people I had in the car .. and to make things better I had two nails one in each of my front tyres ..

Gutted .. truly gutted, all four of us arranged today and had been looking forward to it, I spent literally all day yesterday cleaning my car.
