ABOUT THE BACKYARD BOYS
Brief History

Who are we?

We are a group of people that came together due to a common interest back in 1987. That interest is of course Subarus. Our numbers have grown ever since. We have “played / tinkered” with just about every thing possible with these cars. We have well and truly tested these giant killers in a lot of ways that people may think impossible. We have raced them in various events. We have taken them into some very serious 4wd country, places that we should not have been able to get to. We have towed trailers and vans to places that are hard for some people to simply drive to.
Members
Our group consists of 13 members that gather frequently and the talk always comes round to Subarus. The member list looks something like this.

The Future
The tide is changing. Although we all still have a soft spot for the earlier model Subarus, there is a tendency in our group to buy and modify all models. With the release of more models every year it is also hard to keep up. At the moment all our members are toying with stuffing turbo charged motors into whatever model they can. There is some toying with the Liberty at the moment and Impreza modifications coming up. The future looks a lot like lifted and raced Impreza, Forrester, and Liberty toys.
