WBM2015HK2-28

Once a year the small town of Stafford Springs, CT becomes Subaru Central for thousands of die-hard enthusiasts.  People drive from all over North America to attend what has now become the world’s largest gathering of Subaru enthusiasts, dubbed Wicked Big Meet.  This year, 6,300 enthusiasts including vendors, volunteers, and attendees made this the largest turnout to date.

Subaru of America brought an optical onslaught of coolness including the unveiling of a new special edition 2016 STI and BRZ in Hyper Blue, an Impreza WRX STI S206 straight from Japan, and the class winning 24 Hours of Nürburgring WRX STI.  As a cherry on top, David Higgins made a surprise entrance in his Subaru Rally Team USA 2015 STI built by Vermont SportsCar.
