Love it, I'm V2 obsessed I have 4 of them, Std RA, V Limited RA, a 555 and a std v2 and about 4 jackets. Cannot drive around the towns unless you have the flap up :)

@@mossy7961 that's ace,sounds like a good collection,thanks for watching,

November in Wales! I agree! The yearly pilgrimage of the early start, full boost heading into the valleys! You’d always end up in a group of like minded similarly equipped drivers heading for that early stage. Petrol stations would be full of rally jackets and warm tyres. The spirited drive into wales was as fun as the day ahead. 2024 is a different place definitely, but we are very lucky to have had those times. Great video, feel free to reminisce at will 👌

[@automaxwales]

@@vivid4724 that's exactly the nostalgia that I felt when doing this 😁

Lovely upload. My little sport special puts a smile on my face every time i go into the garage.

[@InformalGreeting]

I am so jealous of those of you that got these cars. Not getting a WRX in America until 2002 kept us from some really special cars.

It's terrible we have no wrc event, I've spectated, marshalled and driven in the Lombard RAC rally, so many great memories 😎

[@automaxwales]

@@SM-mk2wh its ridiculous that we don't have it anymore 😔

Halcyon days indeed. Chatsworth House on spectator Sunday. Never made it to the forests though. Had a GC8 Turbo 2000 and fitted a RA roof vent amongst other typical mods. Bloody loved that car. Miss it every day.

[@SuperSkins21]

I have a v5 ra love it 😁😁😁

I can remember being 5 years old stood on the top of Margam Forrest watching solberg flying in the blob eye Impreza on his way to take the world championship, wish it would come back, fingers crossed we’ll see rali bae Ceredigion on a wrc calendar soon🤞🏼

Used to love following the Lombard / Network Q . We usually started in Yorkshire / Nottinghamshire on the Sunday morning then travelled to North Wales Sunday night , sleeping in the car for the first forest stages Monday morning . Then upto the Lakes , Grizedale usually then finished up in the Scottish borders ...those were the days . Can remember McRae in the Legacy , wow , coming round the hillside with the boxer popping and banging , Penmachno if my memory serves me right . Spot on as Derek Ringer would say ...that's the video by the way 😅 .

[@focus3303]

The 22b had the DCCD as well...not just the type Ra I had a 22b

[@danielstewart7330]

Best car ever built in 90s

[@danielstewart7330]

I have the same car but the wrx version 555 type ra has blue seats just not the roof scoop and the dccd 1000 made of mine

[@micktuck5377]

Please do the history group A Scooby for next year’s RAC

[@automaxwales]

@@micktuck5377 that would be amazing

[@hughtenhove867]

From my understandin none of the type ra's came with alloy boots, only the version 1 sti every came with them. And im pretty sure the front guards being alloy is a myth for all gc8 models

[@automaxwales]

@@hughtenhove867 my 2door had an ally boot I'm sure,but that was a works car,....where's my magnet... 🤣
