Nice Mini and welcome to the site.

I see you like your cars clean that Type R looks fantastic.

[G unit]

thanks mate yeah cleaning the car is a bit of a passion for me but i dont go as far as some lol i just like spending the time making them look good

cheers for the welcome

[G unit]

stoney thats a tuff question like them in different ways...

MINI even tho only had it a couple of weeks even tho not mega powerful the handling is unreal even on standard form
civic type R cos its our baby hardy gets used and is in great condition and is awaiting a jackson racing supercharger !
pulsar GTiR for sheer acceleration was lighting off lights or out tight bends but build quality and reliability was pants lol
RX7 twin turbo was a weapon top end and looked the dogs bollocks to me
and the wee EG turbo was our project for around 4/5 years spent a fortune on it but went like stink for a 1.6 vtec

ye so liked most of them but in different ways
regards G
