Hi guys, been muching around for a while so thought I'd pop a few pics up for y'all
Had the little fellow for nearly 18mths now, and he seems fine up to now.
The pops and bangs on gear changes are awesome,and he's good on track too

Love these!

Had a decent drive of the normal version, the 130 BHP ? either way it felt really nippy, easily felt just as quick as my then Clio 172 and made a fantastic sound! obviously the turbo and torque makes up for this.

Look's good on track smile

I can imagine 160 BHP is quite fun in these, how much do they weight ? and also when pushing on are they quite tail happy or planted ? I've got a picture in my head that because they are small they would be over steering at every opportunity LOL rolleyes
