if you want to have a laugh with it, being a courtesy car, go take it for a free REVO trial, they will make it 210bhp+ it lasts for a few hours, time enough to cain it around a bit.

sounds cool, had a quote of 1900fc for me on one and to be honest I quite fancy one, yes I know its a 5dr and said I wanted other cars also but to be fair as Ive thoguht about it alot and in the frame of mind Im in at the moment not into modding much now just wanting something different which looks good but practical also this is top of the list by far
