Heres some pics of the wee beasty

And this is what hes looking at achieving at some point with it

.........

It looks like a shrunk in the wash RX7 or something, which he has had before (amongst other cars!). However, with a little one on the way he needed a fun car thats gonna cost nothing to run!! Its perfect with 50+ mpg and cheap tax etc!!!

Its soo funky and loads of fun......... oh and its an import spec one so it has an LSD as standard!!

has only rained when i've been asleep so far

, but we did have a lil shower at lunch time so went for a quick blast around the round about a few times ta see how she went

bit different to my old rx7, but once she went it was a good giggle

needs a lil more power tho me thinks, and def some wider wheels!! planning on taking her up to Jap fest next month, need to find out if the owners club is attending and if i can take mine in first tho

need ta get me a driftworks sticker in the rear window, where can i get these from?
