[QUOTE=Doive]
Hero of the day: The 316 that went on and bravely fought it's corner against higher power opposition.

Thank you

Was supposed to have only 102bhp, but got 106bhp... not too bad for a non modified car 7 years old and with 105k miles on the clock.

If I do a superchip and a power air filter, ?may get another 10bhp, I hope. That would do the trick for now

Very tasteful paint job. Something tells me that car may not quite be as Vauxhall intended.... perhaps the strange back axle gives the game away? Or is it the 12 inch wide back tyres. No matter what it has, I still reckon mine could outrun it.......

Should have had mine there... I'd have given you some straight six tunes to smile about..

Donato's RX is a honey and sounds better than many of them. Looks superb too.

Burn that man at the stake for opting for a rotary over the mighty sound of Beem sixes..

Still one of the best bits of the day for me was James our Chairman... turning up in his Audi! lol you gotta love it!

Was just a shame the mighty chevette wasnt there... i havent seen one for about 5 years let alone seen one on the rollers!  still glad they solved the prob with the astra dude :-)

Totally depends on the trolley jack m8 - I had an excellent 3 ton one - low platform & high elevation, but it's broken now...  Bought a boxed 2 ton one from Halfords which *just* fits under the cars and *just* elevates them enough...  I really want those air jacks fitted to race cars!!

Mean to say - could you get a trolley jack under the MR okay?

Quite fancy idea of running an MCoupe alongside but more likely to be an E30 eventually like Toby.

Not chance - them track wheels are all shiny now...

No probs - be good to see what you think by way of comparison given different set-ups etc.

Maybe a nicely sorted M Coupe in place of the EVO - the Jag is my work & licence saving car!

I'd have to buy my track wheels back, though! lol!

Looking forward to a pax drive in M8LUR when she's well again...

Cheers :)

I was just pleased it didn't blow up lol!!

As Jon will know, I ain't one for quiet cars - the Jag would sound Ace with some straight thru' pipes, don't you think? lol!

The BM sixes sounded much smoother than the Jag on Sat too...
