Question

Has anyone gone this route?

It may be some months in the future but It is something I have thought of ????

Let me know your thoughts ( I know it aint as quick in a straight line before anyone says.)

Another thing, do any of the Scottish fraternity know of any for sale as I would like to take one for a spin.

Let me know how you find the test drive if you find one Paul.

I had a Puma 1.7 when they first came out and loved the car.

Cool

check out www.fordracingpuma.com theres 2 for sale on there!
ive gone down the same route for financial reasons and not been dissapointed. in a straight line there no comparison 2 my old scooby, yet down the lanes quite a few subarus have struggled 2 keep up not 2 mention numerous other high powered cars.
if u go down this route make sure u get sum sort of warrenty as the parts are pretty expensive eg.a set of front discs £320, 1 front caliper £323 these are plus fitting!
other than that a very enjoyable car 2 drive and just wait until u hear the exhaust!!!!!!

Thumbs up

put some mud flaps on it if it doesn't already have them and look for rusty mesh in the bumper
