Calm down! He/she/it is only here to stir things up...

Nice to see a Marina being given beans - it is surprising how well they go and can hang on to the road. I took my GT to Snetterton a few years back and was mixing it with B*W MINI Coopers round Coram..... they don't handle as well as people claim they do!
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....

Good job 480, getting out there and using it. :mrgreen:

Looking for a rollcage myself, I take it you've had yours for a while?

There's a bent white saloon with a rear roll cage in, can't be much to buy? I saw it on the telly somewhere.
