Exactly what I thought.. No offence intended just imagine it being quite "boatish"

Just because its not a small pug or vauxhall doesnt mean its not a track car though, there are plenty of big cars out there

I wasnt meaning boatish.... I simply meant strange as its not something I would have thought of

Its prob the same size/weight as my trackcar, maybe smaller.

Longerwheel base cars are actually better on track, much more stable

read a few reviews saying they arent that far behind a dc2 in handling terms, and im sure with a 2.5v6 with 170ish bhp straight line speed wont be that much less either.

good choice, and they are real bargains at the mo

It'd have to be a bloody small boat.

I've driven a MK II on the road and was very impressed.

It was a little cramped but was quick and turned in really nicely. Brakes were good for standard too.

All those MG's made in the early in the century handle well.
