Definately a frustrated racing driver! Get it on the track you'll see the grin on your face through your crash hat!

 A caged and stripped XR2i , really baffled rush hour traffic , specially with a helmeted up driver

Well after a trip to Oulton on sunday to watch the touring cars , and the Clio cup being the best race of the day , im currently shopping for a tidy-ish MK2 gti , ill probably be ready for the start of next season , track days are one thing , but im sure nothing will compair to racing 10-20 other driver into the first corner

I'll let you know after sunday mate.

wearin a helemet in traffic eh? sounds like you're well in to this game! i sell my valver when i get the mk1, got proven 140 bhp, but body work is crap.  Think im gonna get the mk1 cant get in contact with the seller, and its 300 miles away.  What would you all think is a realistic inaurance quote for a 19 year old, with 2 years ncb?

When i think of this car it makes me happy, though i think i wont b happy in winter wehn the windows r steaming up, its frezzing cold and theres no stereo - but i dont care - bollocks to show cars!

Youll servive it , it makes every drive an event
