Which part... RSR 555? or the Murtaya Pic??

Well... the RSR 555 stands for the racing side of me and also is the name of my business... Rayner's Subaru Repairs

The Pic of the Murtaya is a new venture in the horizon, for my business... Have a look at http://www.murtaya.com and let me know what you think?? I love it !! I have recently signed an agreement with the manufacture in the UK to import these little BEASTS to Oz Can't say too much atm cause I'm currently in conversations with a business over East to have the car ready for an Australia Wide Synchronized Release, but have a chat with me on at the BBQ and I'll be happy to answer some questions

I've had some Subies come and go... and would you believe my shock when one day Mike (subi) drove into my workshop with my old Liberty Wagon which I converted with the RS Turbo Eng/Box/Running Gear back when I was workin' for a Importer, way back... I can still feel the pain from my wife after I sold that car

I now have a large range of Subies... last count it was 14 can NEVER have too many Subaru's LoL

One day I'll try and get some pictures of the clan, if I remember... Memory is not as good as it once was

Qld based business? Or NSW based? For the eastern release that is.

we're these featured on beyond tomorrow or something??? i know iv'e looked at them about 3 or 4 months ago thinking man they are cool... i may have seen an ad or something when i was in the UK in june and looked em up... while your importing these Murtaya you wanna have a crack at importing the Ariel's? honda based fun machines, pretty much a road registerable F1 car...

or at least let me know how to set up an import business:)

Here was me thinking that Murtaya was like an ancient warrior's name or something... just looked it on wikipedia... and its got some good info/history... the name is a combination of the creator's names.... still cool though

My friend is Finnish and when I told her the name, she said that in Finnish it means 'Murderer' Which I thought was pretty cool... I did mention that to Neil Yates... The 'ya' part of the Murtaya name

That is a really nice car... And suprisingly light on the wallet... damn.

(It'd be the perfect car to convert to electric - if I was richer. But it'd be alot cheaper than a Tesla... (sadly the missus insists on buying a house if I'm going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. ))


Very tempting...

Never thought of it as a Electric Car but I suppose with the price of petrol atm, it's proberbly not a bad idea...

Yes... a house is a much bigger investment... I sold a house to buy my 22B, one of those sacrifices we have to make from time to time

Your the guy with the other MY hatch aint ya?

haha! Well you have your priorities right!


Yeah, I've had electric cars on the brain lately - ever since I found out they aren't slow pieces of crap (through the Tesla and Killacycle, there's also an electric version of the Aerial Atom too!). One of these days I'll convert a car of my own, but I need a workshop first. And money. And proper tools. hah.


But when I have my mid-life crisis (scheduled for... about 2023) I will definately get one of these Murtaya's!
