they are actually 1200cc and thats all they are, the DVLA are having a hissy fit about them and trying to label them all above 1500cc to so they can get more tax from us as they produce so much power and emissions

my fd3s rx7 is now classed as 2.6 even though its only 1.3...wish it was 2.6, quad rotor rx7s rule!!

it will go sideways on the dirt ,the car will be used by my son to race it around a oval grass track and i wish him now to learn a bit of car control. he can pedal a fwd ok so time for a change to rwd
this is a photo vid thing ,my son is in there some where in 166 orange fiesta. at only age 10 kicking arse and was novice champion last year and only raced half a seson due to his age http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za0oXqrR7_Q

i fi cant find a rwd by the week end hes back in a fiesta ,we done a 2day meet this weekend in a golf and he didnt like it
