    Can't put it anywhere else.....So its going here. I'M BACK :)

    Hey guys I'm back after a long time away. Not driving a Renault at the moment but hoping to change that soon enough.

    Ended up selling the Monaco Turbo and going to Vauxhall for a few years but I'm itching to get another 5.

    Currently I'm driving a Mk3 Vaux Astra with a 2.5ltr 24v V6 conversion, great fun and has a decent amount of power (185bhp at the wheels) and ooodles of usable torque (over 220ftlbs @ the wheels)..........but I miss the lightweight chuck-a-bility of the 5 and that push you into the seat surge from the turbo.

    Hope everyone is good and I can't wait to see what I've missed over the last few years.....


    BUT it feels GOOD to be back

    Ooooo where to start...

    Site went down

    Much sorrow ensued

    Scoff saved the day

    Everyone cheered

    Bill became friendly and was no longer sarcastic

    Spooky is now post-op, is now called 'Debbie' and can be seen walking the streets of Swindon at night in a pair of stilletos

    Mart's still the domanant male 'geeza'

    Dawn kicked my ass at the last nat day

    Extra van's are the new craze

    And that's about it...
