Leamington Spa 5.50pm Mon 3/10/05
Junction of Heathcote Lane/Tachbrook Road.
Newage Car with a "*** WRX" plate in an odd colour (may have been crystal grey but looked more gold(ish!) then grey). Had an STI rear spoiler.
Only saw it from behind and couldnt catch up before the lights changed.
Anyone on here ??

Mini's are a great laugh - you dont need a scoob to have fun.
Personally, anything RWD with crap tyres in the wet entertains me for hours !!
BTW I know minis are FWD.Whats your bro got ?? (Guess he works at the same place from his post)

Jon at Crossroads had been setting the car up for the track with uprated suspension AP 6 pots, and some decent tuning under the bonnet and Tom bought it when it was finished.. Before they had chance to track it themselves
I had to spend the weekend bedding in the brakes before driving to Nurburgring on the monday !!
