Managed to get my plate transferred the other day so it now takes pride of place on my daily driver....

yes its a bit of fun but by no means a joke, claude my r5 gets very upset when laughed at. The £50 car proved it can compete with the big boys , until it has to turn left! a flaw which we think can be polished out with some wise tire choice and handbrake adjustment. there is no way team puma is gonna take the fwd title without a good fight. viva le car!!

Annalese competed in the 2011 series using a Peugeot 206 GTI but this year she will be making the switch to a 4 wheel drive Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. The…

I bought a new set of 710 style wheels the other day for my BMW daily when i stumbled across this company that offers a service i hadnt known existed.
