Default Looking for a first track car for wife, end up buying her a race car !
My wife has been itching to get on track with her Mini Cooper JCW's
But I wasnt keen on her using it .... So we were looking for a starter car.

Peugeot 206 GTi
Seat Ibiza Coupra
Alfa 145

Anyway after lost of searching I decided on this .......



It might be a bit OTT but it was crying out for me .......
Its a Mini Cooper John Cooper Challenge car. It was the original press car for BMW and didnt race until 2006
All panels are original too, but could do with a new bonnet at some time....

Sheare chuffed to bits with it

So she's never been on the track before and you buy 'her' a racecar? Hmm.
