New Life
As some of you know, I’m going to be an uncle soon 🙂
My bro and sis-in-law were down for a small family gathering a week or so ago and while they were down they asked be to take a couple shots of the ‘bump’for prosperity.
So, up went a coulple of lights and down went the colorama …. 30 minutes later we were driving to a restaurant to feed the 5 1/2 of us 🙂
Only snapshots but I thought you may like to share in the celebration of a much loved little bump:
My role in all this is officially “Wreckless Uncle”
So in that vein I edited the following entitled “Gimme a Huuuug” 😀
Subaru Anniversary Event at Prodrive
Who would have thought that Subaru would take their family saloon and turn it into a fire breathing monster…?
That’s what they did with the Impreza back in the late 80’s / early 90’s. Bung in a turbo and revise the chassis and handling and off it goes like a rocket.
Subaru were so good at this that they won several WRC events, and along with those they often released ‘special edition’ cars.
One such car was the legendary ‘P1‘ so-called due to the affiliation with the racing/tuning company Prodrive.Same idea as Ford and Cosworth, or Mercedes and AMG, or Porsche and RUF.
The reason I’m writing this entry is because the P1 was released in 2000 and this year marks it’s decade in action.
So a bunch of guys got together and arranged a meet up with as many P1’s as they could get together (as well as other cars). Prodrive were kind enough to host the event at at their UK HQ in Banbury, Oxford and the date was set – 9th March 2010I popped up and took the camera with me and …. if you’re reading this then that’s what you’re waiting for, so below is a selection of images from the couple of hours I was there meandering around 🙂

Snow more ….. The cold snap continues
It’s freeeeeezing
Especially if like me (a numptie) you go out at 1a.m. to take pictures of the snowscapes with no pedestrians or traffic.Sent the pics to the local paper and they’re going to be in this weeks print (as well as online)
Also had a play with a new Tilt/Shift lens which can make the real world look like a model village:
