went a couple of times yes.......you must have missed the last few years it was orange......and Jonny i still think some green and yello checks in there would be nice to pay homage to it's previous painties :kiss:

hasn't really been working on this version long, so nice to see it moving along . i tell him a few times a week to KEEP GOING!

I truely hope u come & blow everyone out of the water with this (version) of the car. I don't mean in looks, I mean with performance & track times.

I have been following your progress on the watercooled forums.

Although it still baffles me why u took the subaru engine out (hell if I can make it work any muppet can) I hope this isn't change for the sake of change. Especially considering the money already poured into it.

You probably would have had more fun per dollar with a $500 superbug with a wrx engine in the back & u would have had years of track time under your belt as well.

Horses for courses I say. Some people like to ride them. Some people like to show them. And some people, like JVL, like to shag around with them in the stables.

I think I have a hoof in each camp.

It's past 3:00pm on a Friday so don't expect anything I say, or type to make sense!

Want beer.
