Should have asked Ahmet for a couple of seconds start Baz, he'd have lost his way in the fog :lol:

Next time Ahmet has to have me ride Pillion,
that will even up the bhp/tonne ratio, and I
think corners will be more difficult with the
front wheel in the air :whistling:

why would you be disgusted ??

why buy it , ......its got room for the shopping, its comfortable, its got a service/life history to die for, its affordable, and janey fits in it oh and a few other points, like it was developed and built for the track, its quick with a superb power delivery, and corners like a go-kart

what am i going to do with it,.... well when janey isnt commuting to work or doing the shopping, it may see a track or two :D

something had to replace the MX5 and i couldnt find another car which fitted the bill as well

This is a very good car to be honest, Peugeot chassis are very good and do not need much work to be efficient on track. I have a friend who had one with a PTS engine that he runned on "courses de cotes" (I do not know the translation, it is something like hill climbing) and he won quite a few
