Monthly Meet N Greet – 30th September

By AdminNo Comments

Monthly Meet N Greets are held so we can all meet up, have a chat, and even go for a cruise. The meeting place is at Supercheap North Mackay car park at 12.30pm on the last Sunday of the month.

The next one will be on the 30th of September, so if your keen to catch up and get things going, come down and have a chat.

At the last Meet N Greet on the 26th August, it was decided that we should go on a cruise up to Eungella and stop off at the Eungella Chalet at the end. From there we grabbed a few drinks/food. After the Chalet we headed up to broken river and beyond to the new section of bitumen road for some really fun twisting roads. I was impressed, it was a really good run.
A few of the new stickers were handed out, and a few orders were made for new ones.

Well I decided to drop into Subaru today, and I discovered the brand new 2008 WRX parked up on display at Subaru North Jacklin. It arrived in there show room just yesterday afternoon at 5pm. Here are some pictures I took:

I noticed a few nice things in the interior, the keypad is in the fuse box now, there are a couple of alarm sensors on the a-pillars (we think – the manuals havent arrived yet), the top mount intercooler is a lot smaller but more square in shape, there are now buttons on the steering wheel for the stereo etc, the seats are very comfortable, there is a lot more leg room in the back seats, when the car is turned on, the dash lights are now red (like the STi) and the tacho and speedo etc flick to the right and back again during the initialisation (also like the STi). Its very different in body shape thats for sure, being a hatch. The sedan will be out in about a year and a half.

At the last Meet N Greet on the 29th July, it was decided that we should go on a cruise up to Eungella and stop off at the Eungella Chalet at the end. From there we can have a feed or grab a few drinks/food. And if your really keen, there is a bit a of a dirt run up to the Eungella Dam for those who don’t mind getting there rex’s dirty :) On display were the new www.mackaywrx.com stickers (Priced at around $30 each). Soon to come will be the generic club stickers which will be pretty cheap (around $5 each).

First Look! Subaru WRC Concept heading to Frankfurt

By AdminNo Comments

Next month in Frankfurt, we’ll all get our first looks at Subaru’s new WRC car in the form of the Subaru WRC Concept. The automaker will have driver Petter Solberg on hand for the introduction of the racer, which for all intents and purposes shows us what the next-gen Impreza WRC car will look like. It should also offer a very strong hint at the styling of the forthcoming Impreza STI. The STI grille, big wing and bulging bodywork do the new Impreza some good, as this looks worlds better and far more aggressive than the soft-looking standard car. Subaru has released no details other than the two images you see here. Rest assured, our Frankfurt team will bring you the full scoop from the floor in Germany next month. – www.autoblog.com
