correction : Romani De Silva USED to drives a similar WRX in hilclimbs ;)

ahh... didnt know that... thanks for the update.... i remember going past his car every morning on my way to school, only to get a rare peek on a few days that it wasnt hidden under a car-cover... so, is this the same car, or or a different one(in the picture)?

most likely the very same car machan cuz there aren't very many Gun Metal Sti5's and even fewer that have been regular fixtures on the hill climbs

Yep, thats the same car folks. Not sure about the record setting history (although i believe the current record holder is Nishan in his former 9GT...)

Devinda- do you have the full res. pic? Or would anyone know where i can find it?

i believe i got confused with the fact that Romani De Silva has record at one of the Hill Climbs (Radella i belive) - mistake on my part was to assume it was in the Sti where as the record he holds if for the Formula Ford class

:) No, not that lucky. Belongs to guy who used to work at MIT, but left some time ago. At least I think he still has it, he was inside, and I forgot to ask him if he still has it :D
