just make sure you bring spare cloaths people as the wet suit can be very leaky.

He's ok bit bruised trying to find a runabout for the interim until the insurance pay's out.
He asked them to move his car closer to home so he could remove some personal items and they moved it to wisbech cambridge
So is he gonna have trouble finding a partner tomorrow then???

Thank's Matt but at the moment he's using MINE so we're not without a car but he was looking for a little car which could also double up as a track car before the accident.
Mazda mx5 seem's to be in the running which would also get him used to rear wheel drive if the skyline emerges




Oh and before anyone else get's in yes the new car will have three yes THREE pedal's so what will you all joke about now

True but it will only be a second car to be driven when it's dark whereas some people have no shame and flaunt their hairdresser's car's in broad daylight

No problem, but it's going to be cold and wet, so you might need a very good lens?

Just had confirmation that I've got one of the two stoke pro karts, these baby's do 100mph+ also option for wet tyres on the day, well worth the extra money

You bunch of pi$$ takers...

Just want to get a car that is cheap, ideally rear wheel drive and that will be fun on track

Anyone driven an MGF, I know its a hairdressers car, but are they fun, how would it be on the track.
