David James Goes WRC

There was rumours of this a few years ago aswell. Think it was around 2003 ish. The Escort was supposed to be up for sale. I really hope he doesn't!!!
I heard a rumour a few months back that he was supposed to be building another Mk2 of similar spec to McRae's but the source wouldn't be that reliable!!!
Hard to know really. It'll be a big pity if he does leave the Mk2's.
I'm still gutted over Donnelly and Cronin going 4wd!!!!!!!

According to www.Rally.ie he is expected to use Mckinstry's N11 for the GSMC Mini - Stages! :dunno:

i heard he sold some property and got serious money for it, he is ment to be using a car off of kenny mckinstry in baltinglass and testing another subaru after the weekend, sure maybe some of our wexford forum members can fill us in on this??? would be a pitty to see him outta the mk2

Think he is after buying Barrett's S8 :dunno:

He told me his plans last Tuesday night and I was sworn to secrecy so I ain't going to be the one to spit it out but it's starting to look like i'm not the only one he's mentioned it to. He hopes to have the car that he will be driving next year in time for the rallysprints at Mondello around Xmas.

How could he do this to you!!!!!


Folks to be fair is it right to be discussing where or how he got his money? (Property, Lotto, Bank Robbery, Piggy Bank etc) Would David appreciate it?


Best of luck to him testing the World Car today

Whatever David decides to do next year, the very best of luck to him with it. And whatever happens or whatever he decides to do next year, i'm fairly sure 11 ZIK won't be going into full retirement just yet!

David is a top class driver and i recon he will be tops in what ever he drives!!! best of luck to him!

it would be a great big shame if this is true but best of luck to david whatever he decides to drive,some pilot!!!!!!

I believe that "ZIK" is to be reshelled and used occasionally in the future, I know that he has been in talks with more than one person on a WRCar and a Subaru was just one option he had.

Any word yet on what car David is buying

ZIK was only being re-shelled if she was gonna be rallied full time in the future afaik and thats not looking like the case. He is fairly settled on his car for next yr, deal was nearly done last time i spoke to him.

Subaru or something else

Yeah, like saying Penny Farthing...............or something else!.:roll:

SORRY Tropsrotom, for not being more precise!!!!:dunno:
Will we see David in a Subaru WRC or some other form of WRCar next year?

well he did try an s8 on for size up in mondello at the marshals day at least i think it was him any way.. dont think there was enough fuel for him to do a run in it though..

Yeah he had a sit in one in Mondello at the Marshals day and has had a test in one but has a few more cars to look at before he decides what he will buy.........he will have something in the next few weeks and that is definite and it will probably be out at the Rallysprint on Dec4th in Mondello......that is according to the man himself

i heard today it could be a focus wrc, but it was a rummor

pcmotorsport i dont think thats a rumour, he is ment to be goin to UK to look at one!!
