We attended a tribute to the late Colin McRae that was held at Prodrive headquarters in Banbury and then later at their proving ground in Warwickshire. The event was attended by over one thousand Subarus of which most were the Impreza model.

A world record was broken by 1086 of the cars being used to form a mosaic spelling out Colin's name and displaying the Saltaire. It was a fantastic day with a great atmosphere (depsite wet weather in the afternoon). We even posed for a photograph with Colin's iconic rally cars and we'll be framing that and a copy of the mosaic photograph that is soon to be released. In the meantime, check out this version released to the newspapers:


If you want to know where we were, check out the cars in the 'C' of Colin. We were on the far right-hand side of the middle part!

Congratulatons to the organisers of the McRae Gathering and all those that took part in this fantastic tribute to Colin McRae.
