To be honest I was thinking with a newer car it would be a better car, wrong, it's done now so we shall see what's what. Seriously may take my supercharged 205 track toy.

I am taking a spare set of c5 wheels with track tyres so it should be ok on that front, the car just feels so much easier to get the tail out.I am sure it will be fine.

Washed, polished, and air con checked again. Also added a few stickers to hopefully get snapped whilst on the ring, ideal photo for the wall.

Well just finished the ring now for 2012, met my mate in his m3 csl and thought that was the bollox, well then this turn up, an 8 minute lap was just unreal. Got plenty more for when I get back.

thanks.Well just got in what a bloody drive that is, over the pond driving is so easy but over here is hard work with people in the wrong lane etc. Took an age to get back. Well I have been on the web and found a couple of decent shots.   Car overall did bloody brilliant, only little issue we had was the abs light coming on, checking it over this was due to a cv gaitor splitting and filling the voids on the pickup ring, at slow speeds it was ok but once moving along it popped up, will have to treat it to a new cv boot kit. Well it's done it's job and is now up for grabs if anyone is interested (£1500) A cheeky few shots    Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

To be honest after I got back from driving in Poland, Germany, Holland and Belgium a few weeks back, I was glad to get back here. I think we have excellent lane discipline and we're very courteous drivers unlike those other places. It's just a shame there's so many cars here.________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

Not sarcasm mate, Europeans are fine at it too but when they hit traffic, their discipline goes out the window and its a shower of s**te. We're brilliant at driving with lots of cars around us. ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |
