Well it's that time of year when I take a few clients and staff to Nurburgring for a bit of a laugh!!

However the car is still in bits at Devil Developments and even a mirical wont get it ready in time!!

Therefore Im looking to buy a motor that is up to the challange but wont cost the earth. As Im moving home shortly, budget is key and I would like to spend 2k but realise that 4k is more realistic.

I thinks that a BMW 328i or a Impreza is going to do the job but I must admit that I dislike all BMW's and an Impreza is not my bag.

Any suggestions?? I was thinking NA more than turbo as its easier to fix track side


Back on the road soon in a propper car!!

Clio 172 cup!

328 too heavy, not enough power. Scooby will blow up (mine lasted less than 1 hour of my driving)

Clio will do 140mph flat out, engines are pretty bullet proof, very light, and they go round corners brilliantly!

It did here about this. Didn't realise how big it actually was. Not been down there in ages. It depresses me seeing my car in pieces. Lol
