Hi, I'm Michael Tunbridge, come from Down Under.
Been following the WRC since 1999 and collecting model cars since around the same time. Focus has been soley on SWRTs but a few privateers and non-subarus hav slipped into the collection.
Other than rally I'm a uni student who just can't see the end of my studies lol

G'day all, my name is Anders, and I have been following the WRC since '98. Carlos and his mighty Corolla was my favourite car, so it goes without saying that I have a full collection of 1998 Corolla WRC's in 1:43.
My interste has waned in the recent past, as the big gun drivers that were around when I started follwing the sport have now almost completely gone - Richard Burns, Tommi Makinen, Carlos Sainz, Colin McRae (well, nearly gone), Juha Kankkunen etc. The Loebs and Solbergs - while brilliant - just don't hold the same appeal to me. Nonetheless, the sport is exciting (when it isn't a Loeb monopoly), and I will always follow it.
Thanks for having me here!

My name is Richard and I live in Sydney, Australia. I've been interested in rallying since 1973. I was fortunate enough to join a car club which organised a round of the Australian rally championship in 1974. Was a control official at Southern Cross Rallies from 74 through to 78 (except 76 - spent my honeymoon spectating that year). Always had an interest in WRC especially during the halceon days of the Audi quartros. Last year was fortunate enough to visit Perth for Telstra Rally Australia. Other interest - watching motorsport on cabel TV - like Rossi on the bikes and Solberg in the subaru.  |

Hi everyone, my name is RJ and I'm relatively a newbie when it comes to Rallying. I've always had an interest in motorsport since 1998 mainly following F1 and regarding it as a religion. I'm now considering converting to WRC I probably started getting my first taste of WRC by watching it on TV two years ago. This year I'm trying to watch every rally highlight I can. |

Names Wayne. Have had a passing interest in rallying for a while, but since the advent of decent tv coverage it's gone through the roof!
Attended my first Rally Aus last year and will posts some pics when I work out how to. I'm not as computer literate as a lot of you! Sorry!

Don't worry Wayno it took me a while to figure it out. You can do it a couple of ways. If the picture is on your computer, go to photobucket.com. Here you can create an account for free and put as many pics as you want in you album. Once that is done Click on the picture so that is is normal size, then right click it an select properties. This will give you an address. Copy that and put the adress in the middle of the image icon ( ![]() ) Thats the little picture icon up on top. Sounds complicated but its quite simple. any questions ket me know gren |
