Will no doubt be Dannys one, I think its white, not to be confused with the white one with the turbo hanging out of the bumper like Andys.

Danny had the bronze tigra that did 181mph at Brunters, he is from up that way and his car also has quite a serious engine in it, all secret squirrel though.

Nah I don't think it's Danny, it's another lad from same neck of the woods who also has a white tigra with silly spec engine. It was at totb, think on cav turbo rims.

Strange how the Tigra has now become the weapon of choice

I should start collecting them as they will be worth good money one day

If you want to go fast in a vauxhall up the quarter then a tigra and a random northerner seems to be what is required
