SERIOUS big-grin factor!!
not had any races yet on 'private' land of course  but roll on the VTR boys & who-ever else I can whoop-ass with in it!
Pulls sooo well through the gears its amazing! I've NEVER driven a car up castle hill before in 4th at 30 without having to drop a gear!
Also sounds amazing! Growls under acceleration, proper engine sound 
Filled it up from empty last night on Optimax & its all I'm going to use in it...
All in, well chuffed!
Oh, and no new pics, as was having too much fun driving around in it

when i filled it with a full tank of optimax, it felt alot better than what must of been in it when i picked it up!
even tho its a fairly new engine, recon its worth using something like STP Injector Cleaner?? m8 of mine said I should use some just to clean it through, but I'm unsure...

I only race now and again on the duels, you will find it boring after a while and want something faster. Its only 106bhp at the end of the day and also you will notice it eats fuel.

I disagree, i often drove my old Sport 1.6 pretty hard, and always managed between 250 and 300 miles on 44 Litres. Once i managed nigh on 380 miles on one tank!
