Resisting the temptation to say carparks

I shall say join your local MSA carclub and get involve from there. You can start competing from 14 upwards

You've just arrived. To learn about rare and special cars, start with the supercars spotted threads. After that, search for 'MX-5' and '335d (mapped)' and you will know everything you need to about fast cars. If you're into the emergency services vehicles, search for 'Ambiwlans'.

Click on General Gassing - The list is there.

Click on a Topic and then sub-topics will appear

The PH website is your oyster...

Say goodbye to your life... you have been warned.

They're in-jokes, scott-boy.

What interests you about cars?

Looking at them? Fixing them? Racing them?

Talking to the owners about them? (most of us could bore on for ages...)

One young guy on here (Kamil, I think?) bought an old Jag for a couple of hundred quid, that's one way to start if you have a bit of space in the garden I suppose!

Have a look down the left hand side of the homepage. 'First Cars' would be a good start maybe? Also the ph heroes and zeroes, then onto the roadtests and features I suppose.
Enjoy!

looking at them, finding out about them.. It's mainly because i come on here and mostly look at the forza 3 pages, and i always see people going on about cars and havent got the slightest clue what theyre on about.. Fixing / painting them possibly a future ambition im not to sure :|
