Are you sure it wasnt either:
A highly modified veryon he owned not a sierra?
Or a total fucking wanker you spoke to?
Well he told my dad all this and then he told me so it might not be 100% right then. He said it was a 500 rep with about 500 bhp. Also said to e-mail for old pictures of it and he never e-mailed back

Michael, you do know that Jim managed to pedal his last cheap shitty "family car" m3 around the ring in eight and a half minutes, your kind of picking on the wrong person to argue about who can drive well on track
He might not have much money, but he's got plenty of talent and TBH most people on here probably respect that more anyway!

i own cars unlike your little gay mr2 shitbox or your family m3. now cars can be used properly on track, again unlike your short penis variants.

if ever you have the chance to drive one of those for a day, you of course wont ever do it again, as an wannabe mcp cant afford it, you would know what it costs.

ah and brake fluid, ap recommends a 3 mo interval on racecars but why i am telling you this, your too stupid for your own good.

go try to convince some bint to stop beleiving in jehovas witness, get a face op or just get lost you stupid daft cunt.
im sorry but you come across as a right stuck up wanker! not everyone can earn and afford to spend as much as you obviously can on cars and track days but from what ive read from your posts you seem to think you are far superior because of this, sorry ol chap but to me u just seem like another arrogant nob with money

You can enjoy a track day regardless of what car you're in. My last trackday wasn't planned at all, I went up with a few mates and one of their cars broke so took my Astra GSi ecowreck round instead with a bootfull of shite and a storming 130 BHP to play with and I had a great time
