Look Pete, am I going to have to come round to your house and slap you one or are you going to wake up mate?? Theres no way the south Wales Cliosport posse are going to let you anywhere near some woosy BM, so get your act together man!!
I mean, can you imagine turning up to a meet in a hairdressers car thats going to only keep up with the Valvers, Willys and 172s on the straights and get caned by them on the roundabouts and twisties??
Your Valver is mint mate. Fine, get another car... God forbid even not a Renault, but do it with your eyes open man!! Get a CTR or a Golf if you want something less expensive to run. But even then, it may cost less every month to run, but then theres the price of having to stump up for one in the first place.
Get a Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo if you must - much, much better... and a hell of a lot faster too!
