Have to agree here - the British round of the WRX is looking less and less appealing - lower entry in WRX, poor support class, high ticket cost. Sad to say really but it's not looking like a 'must see' any more.

I think the guy that runs the ex Needell Metro has bought it, so hopefully he can get it to run better than the Metro does!!

I saw that article as well (I'll see if I can dig the link out) - it'll be good to see another 'classic' back up and running. It was always a bit of an odd car though wasn't it? It's been converted to run with Honda S2000 running gear so there will be quite a bit of work to get it back towards orginal spec (although again reading the article it's not going to be put back to 100% original spec due to the scarcity of parts).
