Facebook is like a grown up bebo (for people older than 12)
You can set up groups on it and someone set up a passionford.com one
on these groups you put up pics if you want and Clare McNeaney put pics of passionford nights out and vwalla plus a little text from me

Welcome to the club.
R5's are cool cars, like R9/R11 turbos as well, are you from B.S.E. ?

Well ok, not loads, but 5 or so FWD 1.4 8valve ones IIRC.

At least 1 on road legals I think too.

Think fastest is 11.4, cant remember now.

Welcome mate, haven't been to an French day in ages, last time I went to RTOC ND was at the pod a couple of years ago, a white 5 IIRC with a Europarts sticker ran in the 11's (then of course there was the road illegal one with perspex windows)

I think AJ Tuning should build another one
