Newbie checking in

[TDLC]

So I've found my way to PH, hello everyone.

Heard good things about PH. I'm into hoons, tunnel runs, track days and santa pod. I got into track days in 2009 and can't stop the habit now. My favourite tracks are Donington and Spa. Driving a 2009 MINI which has had a few engine and suspension modifications done to it since my ownership. It's become a bit of a money pit, but hey. For those who are interested in the car, here's a link to my project thread on MiniTorque http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f272/tdlcs-midnigh...

Good to see a few familiar names on here. Looking forward to meet & greet and admire your cars.

Why yes, yes it was. More amusing is the fact it has parking sensors. The fact I can actually reach behind me and touch the rear window kinda makes the need for parking sensors somewhat redundant.

Dont forget.

OP - I'm looking for a sensible family car that does 30+ MPG
300bhp - How boring. Why not buy a 6.0 V8 cadillac instead?

Strangely, the only parking bump my other half has ever had was in a Ka Collection about 10 years ago.

Has no problems parking her E60 Touring, go figure.

Cheers mate.

Can we be un-pc on here and swear without getting banned? Or is this a 'family friendly forum'?
