What are you driving these days? havent seen you on xrtwo.com in a while, have you gotten posh?
Sorry chaps, I have gone all sensible and got a povery spec Toyota Avensis
And surprisingly, that will out handle a standard XR2 all day long....
They are fun cars, just not worth anywhere near the money they are selling for. Considering you can now buy a Mk5 Zetec-S for less than an XR2 that hasn't got 27 fist sized holes in it, it makes no sense! A Z-S will drive much better too!
I see XR2s selling for 4 grand and I think that people aren't spending that because the car is amazing, it's becuase they are re-living a memory....
For track purposes, unless you have a hard-on for small FWD fords, spend your money on something better to start with.
