I know.....

Following a heap of crap Metro around at lunch time and it had a Performance Metro sticker on the back. Surely a joke I thought?

Well no, there are some guys out there doing it (we're not talking 6R4s here ), but give the guy some respect he has managed to coax 188bhp out of a modded MGF lump dropped into a Metro (just begs the question why)

Made me laugh anyway.

... and according to CCC magazine, the handling is 'more adjustable' than a WRX.....

When working right they do handle well (i.e rarely) , having had a GTI Metro some time ago I can safely say it was without doubt the worst car I have ever owned, pile of poo.

No shame in being out handled by a Metro, after all is that not a Caterham?

Bear, the Turbosport uploader is knack'd! People are now tending to use Fotopic. You do have to register and there is a bit of lag when first using it, but it's pretty good.

There is a thread here that may be of use if you have any probs.
