New car project thread w/updates!

After MM8 I had planned more modifications on my Rover, however I didnt feel that it would have increased speed on B roads due to the road handling. This and a few other factors (not wanting to spend so much on it that I wouldnt see back) led me to sell it.

So with the Rover gone I started to look for a replacement, had to be fairly pokey on A and B roads, with suspension that doesnt destroy you and make you cringe if you go over a pothole. And it also had to be pretty much trackday ready, so I had to be able to fit in with a helmet on as well as it being up to the task.

I have ended up with one of the most successful cars in motorsport in its class.

Described by [TW]Fox:

[21:09] <@Fox---> wow
[21:09] <@Fox---> you went from ******* epic fail car owner to win in like ONE ACTION
[21:09] <@Fox---> more detailz

The previous owner had it for 6 years and its had a lot of money spent on it last year, with a new cambelt, new clutch, new radiator, new suspension, new brake friction material amongst others!

Faults are, the engine management light is on, and the fuel gauge works but is inaccurate.

And it cost me £4000.

Can you guess what it is yet!

:p

Now now ladies :p

Looks nice! I'm guessing from iaind's reply, £4000 is a bit expensive for one of these...?

I remember there was a thread a while back about clio 182 v Xsara VTS - the idea being the Xsara was super cheap. A quick look around shows plenty of tidy 2002 cars with low mileage for circa 2k - so I'm just wondering if there's something special going on here
