Nah, it just needs some custom designed lighting, he should take it to the MRC dyno booth.

I won't bore you with photos of my Punto, especially as I crashed it on the way to work three hours ago and wrote it off. Budget tyres and bad weather do not mix. :(

Fecking hell, hope you are okay mate. Unlike your E46, at least its cheap enough to not bother claiming and screwing the insurance on the RS

We definitely need photos of the Punto now. The best Punto is a wrecked Punto... :)

I'm okay thanks mate, I just took the roundabout at normal speed and the front wheels just had no grip at all, it was very wet, I remember my BMW used to get it's rear end out on the same roundabout, it is always a bit greasy. I managed to control the slide to avoid hitting other cars and hit one of them raised pavement things in the center of the road quite hard. It was raining so I've not had a proper look and just continued what was left of my journey (half a mile) to work. From the quick glance I had the wing looks like it is getting in the way of the drivers side wheel, on full lock it won't reverse and makes funny noises. I'm glad I wasn't in the RS6, the Punto is disposable, I now need to buy another second car and scrap this. I reckon I'll end up in a BMW Mini (gay)? or an A2 - with decent branded tyres.

Lol, cruel bastard. One of those things Amar. Many years ago,I launched a Minimetro over a kerbstoned mini roundabout Dukes Of Hazzard style, after coming up to it at maximum attack, optomistcally expecting to flick the car around it, only to turn the wheel as hard as possible, have the car go straight on,smack it up and over the roundabout, and come down missing at least one wheel if memory serves. It was awesome.
