Evening all. Do many people here watch btcc... well in June at brands hatch there is supertouring power 3... basicly late 90 early 00s touring car meeting.
I have sent off an application to put the leon on display.
Fingers crossed they accept it. Just need to get my finger out and start putting bits back on it hahahh
That is awesome, hope you get in?
I love btcc, followed it for years, best Motorsport imo.

Brilliant. Will have a look at this.
We normally do Oulton Park and sometimes Donington to watch BTCC, Brands is a bit far from us but been a couple of times.
However, if this is a super touring meet and there’s a chance of my lad seeing an ex Plato or Menu Renault Laguna in action it may be too good to miss.
How many 14 year olds have a Renault Laguna obsession? Can’t be many! He wants a real one. :ROFLMAO:
Would love to see your car too @Manic172.

I used to love the BTCC. I don't watch it these days as i don't watch TV anymore, but that sounds like a cool event! That was a great era for BTCC back then, be epic if do get to take the Leon along.

That's a sweet story about your lad ? Cute what they adopt.
Is he not mad for your Leon? ?
I had a RL Diesel once, not for long as it was a quick fill when my Passat head gasket went, but it was nicknamed 'The Tank'. It weighed a tonne & literally felt like an armoured vehicle driving around ?

He loves the Leon, but his dream garage consists of a Laguna estate ( hens teeth)
a mk1 mx5 that we already own and a few other randoms that you would never ever put in the same sentence as ‘dream garage.’ :ROFLMAO:
To be fair he’s got me looking at Laguna’s, but would have to be the V6 Monaco for me.

If you search YouTube there is a lad making a laguna nescafe version replica. Get down to brands there will be the real ones and some replicas. Been told there should be x2 of the yellow and blue ones..

He follows him already.
He’s also got every scalextric version and he’s just built a Tamiya RC car but found a Laguna shell for it that he’s waiting for me to paint for him.
Looks like we’ll be heading to brands then. :ROFLMAO:

I had an X74 Laguna estate, so the next generation. I loved how it looked and given I was driving 35,000 miles a year, it was so comfortable. Did loads of camping and trips up to Scotland in it and it ate it up. The electrics were absolutely shocking though and I was so lucky it was still in warranty because I got shot the second that ended. Tyre pressure sensor deciding I'd had a blow out at speed in lane 4 of the M25 was one of the highlights. The hard shoulder of the M25 at rush hour is one of the scariest places I've ever been. No puncture.

But I think I've got Rickard Rydell's autograph somewhere. As you were.
