Everyone goes through the phase do you not think. Goes from the Max power stage, to the euro stage, to the track slack stage, then evenually you grow up and buy a decent car.
DO you agree?

I went through something similar but kinda missed the euro scene, had decent cars then went back to saxo's.
Did anyone else have a corsa and not like saxos then buy a saxo and not like corsas? Fickle world.
To keep it on track, I was quite inspired by bic's car when I first hit the forums. I dont know how well liked he was but the car was very impressive, built to no spec than his own.

The spec was originally a maxi replica so not exactly his own. Since changed when he needed more power. Although before the white paint it was another engine, which ended up being a whore of an engine going through about 4-5owners in about 2-3years. It had the curved M3 trumpets
Driving lessons would have been cheaper though

I didnt quite catch it with the first engine I dont think, only with the longmans one iirc
I think that engine was up for sale recently but had problems with using vast amounts of oil, could be wrong though
Leeroy anything can be achieved with enough money it would seem
