Its the Walldonway Maidstone Demonstrator. Drove it on Saturday, my report on IWOC. Awesome! Presumably normally to be found at the main Subaru Site in Loose Rd.

Ahh, I see! I thought it was prehaps a little dirty for someone's new car!!

Read your review on IWOC Pete - sounds like you had a good time Shame we can't all afford one <sigh> ...

Hang on - that probably means I could have had a better look without being jumped on! A*se. Oh well!

The car you probably saw, is only a Standard WRX with body kit, exhaust and engine mods.

I'm pretty sure it was an STi as it had the STi badges all over it as well as the STi trim inside. If it was a WRX, it was very well disguised! :-)

Read my Post. I'm TELLING you it's a STi UK, and I know 'cos I drove it!!! Jen - go look in at Loose Rd - I'm sure you'll be able to take all the time you want. Who knows, if you ask Tony nicely....

Senior Partner has the Scoob, but his office is at Larkfield, which is why it's there sometimes.

Cheers,

Phil

I am pretty sure that car is Cliff Cornwalls, the owner of Walldonways, whose office is at Larkfield TVR. I have talked to him before and he told me he drives a scooby most of the time.

Well with all the Modded Scoobs about it's easy to mistake them!

Go have a look - lovely in "real-life"

Indeed, it's Cliff's. I guess he has 3 or 4 each year, which is his prerogative as he's the boss. Indeed it was a WRX with bits before that, and a UK300 before that and...... But they're keeping the STi outside Loose Road pretty well all the time - for obvious reasons!
