Shed Racing

Subject: Shed Racing Wed Oct 28, 2009 8:51 pm

I've come to realise (maybe a year too late) that the City isn't going to be ready till next season...

But from having a few drives on Tuesday at Mallory i've realised i NEED to get out there before then!

So. I need a car. On a budget.

Spec required...

Taxed+MOT'd till end of December
A Little bit of poke behind it
Less than £150!

Answers on a postcard please Razz

Love the omega... and bear in mind i've gained a supercharger i can strap onto what ever i get Razz

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 7:50 am

AX GT(i), could probably get one for £200?
EDIT: Actually doubt you could get one that cheap if it wasn't fubared

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 8:50 am

my cinq was only £150!

so was the charade!

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 8:55 am

I want to be able to strip it out and have a giggle.

A 800cc shoe wont give me that..

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 8:59 am

I Know that but that car was pure fluke. Sad

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 8:45 pm

save the money, you know you won't be able to stop at just buying it Razz

it'll just turn into a distraction

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:08 pm

But i neeeeed to pwn you and woz all over the track Razz

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:17 pm

so do it with the city when it's done Razz

£150 is only the car, it's going to cost you over £500 to get to Brands with it.

Subject: Re: Shed Racing Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:23 pm

Get the Saab! Big car, so you can put many B4T stickers all over it. Strip it out and then put the weight back on by adding fire extinguishers.
