Hey Guys, I'm new here to the US after recently moving here from Australia. I've been involved in Rally, Drift, Time Attack and AutoX.

Since moving here to the US I haven't been done any form of racing and I just happily plod along in my 99 Subaru Outback.

Obligatory pics are as follows.

Thanks! Once my wife and I are little mor financially stable and we can get out of this turd of an Outback I'm planning on doing something sweet again. Going to stick with the Subaru powerhouse but just not sure what yet.

Here are two more cars of mine.

The first is my VERY first car. A 1985 Subaru Leone 4x4

This last one is my first project car and also the ONLY photo I have left of it.

It's a 1963 Compact Fairlane running a mild 351. Although that engine had a slight electrical problem one day at the track when the conrod came through the side of the block and smashed through the alternator.

God spotting! It is the same vehicle as a Holden Commodore. But in what we call a "ute" form.

2003 VY SS ute

Nah mate, it's because the girlies all think this

is eight inches. It's why they have such difficulty parking too.
