    Oh, bugger. Do i buy another car... or do something stupid

    I have the 328ci - which IMO aint track worthy.

    And the jaguar is for sale so im not tracking it.

    I doubt the dolomite will be ready.

    You have no idea how tempted i am to track the micra 1.3lx

    Should i do it for the lolz?

    That is all.

    Yeah why not. Bolt a drift wing to the roof, fit a huge exhaust and it will be well weapon.

    Strip out the Micra, fit stiffer springs, fat wheels & tires, bucket seat & harness. Get them all on Ebay for next to nothing and it'll be seriously good fun on track.

    My first car was a 1.1 Fiesta van XR2 lookalike kitted out with the above and it's still one of the most fun cars I've owned (until it caught randomly caught fire whilst driving one night )

    The Micra would serously rock at the Weekender
    I'd want a go in it if you took it

    May even let you drive the Clio again in payment....

    1300 micras can be quite powerful easily tuned to 100bhp without turboing! I'd take the micra will be great fun
    Check out the micra sports club loads of stuff about track racing turbo tuning etc

    In that case, homemade modifications FTW. I want to see cardboard bodykit & wings... (MDF also acceptable)

    Maybe because you can keep your foot on the accelerator constantly and still not be breaking the speed limit? Or cornering at 30mph and feeling like you're on the absolute limits?

    Unfortunately deacon, if you read the small print there's a ban at blyton on
    Micras. There's also a ban on donkey king lookalikes in micras.

    Clio 182's are good on track apparently!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!
