So I just got back from Brands Hatch, after doing my ARDs Racing National 'B' license test. Passed with ease ;)

Will be looking for a little car to strip out and race with my dad and brother. Perhaps a saxo or mk2/3 Ibiza?

2.0 litre engine aint it? how much bhp do they have? surprised as an FR is a diesel correct? Therefore diesels have more torque than petrols so cant imagine what the petrol torque is like

As For The Leon The FR If Petrol Was Probably The 200Bhp Petrol 2.0T, My Dads Mate Has One On A Stage Two :p Its Mega Fast

Need to work out what to do with the car whilst I'm at Uni?

Should I use a car cover, or might I get similar issues as people with bonnet bras. Ie; water being trapped between the paint and cover causing lacquer to lift / bubble? Or am I better off leaving it without a cover, where it might be prone to bird poop etc. ?

a well fitted car cover will be fine, if there's no water getting in then you wont have any issues. just whatever you do dont get a halfords one as they nearly never fit properly!

and get a parent or similar to take it a wee drive every now and then!

Can't believe that FR sold for £3250..... It has 9k miles for gods sake!

Some lucky bugger who won it. If I wasn't off to Uni in the next few days I would have considered buying it! FR insurance is £1400 for me.

Im deciding this too, leaving her all locked up in the garage, battery disconnected and car cover to keep dust off her. Which uni you off to?
