Default little **** - the revival - or not

some might remember the R5 GTE cup aka little shit

as spring seems to be arriving me booked myself and my fiancee in for the race license course in hockenheim.

after paying the fees i started thinking.....whats she going with ??????

so little shit needs revival after jay had killed its volvo engine with 3 zillion bars of boost (comment while in the white cloud: blimey....oh, that valve didnt work right)

so i went and bought a clio 172 2.0 16v sport with an accident damage to strip it off its engine / box for the R5.

long story short it arrived, looked fab apart from the "little" dent in the right side and now is getting restored......

NO I DID NOT WANT ANOTHER CAR LET ALONE A CLIO BUT IT FOOKIN JUST HAPPENED

Clio 172 will be ideal as a first trackday / race car I should think
