Nothing to report on the racecar progress I'm afraid.
I hope to get back into the shed early in the new year.
In the meantime, I'll be following the Dakar which runs from the 3rd through to the 18th January.

Funny now that you mention it I dont recall seeing a subaru in the rally with all the years ive been watching it yours could be one of the first, Win lotto then see if you can give the nissans etc a run. I was more than annoyed about last years race though!
87 targa brumby (Neglected),
92 targa brumby (weekend runabout),
97 Lifted Outback (Dailey drive),
05 outback safety (Too cheap to pass up),
90 model liberty (was to be scrapped instead sold to workmate)
+ others.

And a fellow International fan. Hello Tex, I thought only the Backyard Boys ventured down to this old thread!
It looks like the change in Continents hasn't hurt the Dakar at all. 550 entries or something? Bruce Garland has the only Aussie car team that I know of so I'll be looking out for him in the coverage. I would love to go, even on someone else's team, but with a young family, it's gonna have to wait. Baja 1000 is a more realistic option.

Yeah? Didn't hear anything about that. They don't appear to be in this years entrant list.INEEDABEER wrote:There was one or two Forresters entered in last years cancelled event,from France i think.
I have NFI what it would cost to do the Dakar from here. Every time I talk to Garland about it, he just says "they're telephone numbers". He's always had big sponsers for the big events. Even when he's invited to an event to lift it's profile.

I just hope that SBS holds out enough for us to watch it every night - we have pretty dodgy reception out our waytex wrote:A fellow dakar fan!
By the way, doesn't this thread with all its whoring go against the Ausubaru forum rules?! Thought I'd drop that in here even though I know its between mates

If you want to watch a docu that 'll make you even keener,have a look for "Dust to Glory" by Dana Brown.Makes me want to jump on or in something and go for a fang everytime i watch it.

Also try Dezert People 1 through 5 and Wasteland Warriors is good too.
On the subject of movies, I received the 2008 Finke video last week. Very disapointing. Wouldn't even bother watching it again.
I have the 07 finke and think much the same of it.
There is only one thing you must do in your life. Everything else is a choice.

Finally got on top of all the building, gardening, wiring, plumbing and concreteing jobs that I've been putting off and got back to the end bay in my workshop.
I started on the pass. side swingarm but decided to move the outer mounts further out for a better angle. Had to scallop a bit more out of the car on the ends of the mounting tube but I'm a lot happier with it now. Brumbies are just so narrow. This is going to be tricky.
Watching the Dakar causes changes in your thinking! Gordens Hummer only has 1 shock per corner and doesn't seem to be suffering because of it.
