Default ring car question?

its getting close now so i had better sort out some transport now ive sold the evo i was going to take

now i could take the escos i have just bought,but not 100% certain about its reliability yet.but its got 355 a/p brakes!

or i could use one of the cars i currently have in stock including a v reg impreza,puma 1.7,the rest are deffo no,no as i dont think a 1.2 punto sporting or a 1.9 diesel polo would suffice.

or i could buy something like a cheap m3/328/325 bmw,or a sapph cos but back to the unknown reliability as per escos!

or just hire something new and turbo diesel,save a fortune in fuel and still have some fun

or talk my travelling partner to take his rs500!

really should have sorted this before now,but its just typical of me

If you want me to do an evening on teh cossie and check its management and engine over then i will do Jay.

But, i would personally take the scoob wagon. Cossies handling is appalling on the ring.
