Although road legal, and used occasionally at weekends, it was bought as a track car (To offset the boredom of driving a Passat Monday - Friday), so hopefully it still counts! smile

Engine is pretty standard to keep it reliable. Its alot of fun,corners fantastically and we were hitting just under a ton down the straight in the wet. Performance back box, lowered springs, fully stripped out, sparco buckets and harnesses, safety devices cage, perspex windows etc
Less of the car talk and more of your sister please. She's quite fit!!

To be fair, he should know by now that posting any picture of a female will get a "Vic and Bob" thigh rubbing kind of response from people on here.

That is why I specifically chose a picture where you can't see what my sister looks like!
