r5 is my favorite.
white with original graphics, and really clean car
clio engine puts out a comfortable 230bhp turning up the boost will bring more power but owner wants maximum reliability.
saftey devices bolt in cage.
looks well standard though

yer he used to have the orignal r5 lump running 210bhp
but he had two head gasket failures and that was enough.
hes the kind of person who does the job right first time to perfection and doesnt like doing it again after that.
who can blame him. i think he made the right choice but alot of time and money has gone into the converstion

Just curious on price of the train? in the past I've got the ferry return for about £40.
I know I still need to book this but the plan is, I'm going to come with my dad I think. He's always wanted to come to nurburgring and do a lap.
Note he used to race cars and he wants to do a lap in my s2000   I'm very worried / scared.
He took me out down some country lanes last night in the s2000 and scared the shit out of me.
However... HE hasn't got a clue about the layout of the ring and won't know what corners are coming up. I explained this to him and he just said 'Oh well, you can just tell me what corners are coming up from the passenger seat' anyone who's been to the ring will know how hard this will be ... Most are blind and it's not ideal to have him trying to figure out what I'm saying on the approach to a fast sweeping bend.

how fast is it? where does it take you?
Ferry is only about 1 hr and 30 mins and you get dumped in dunkerque (not calais)
