I still haven't put up a Newbie thread yet to say hello but will wait till my new car is completely finalised ( next couple of days)
Mega forum by the way ( I think Ive read most threads since day 1 over christmas hahaha)
But thought I would jump in here as Im with you guys on the Mini side of things
My Grandfathers car from New in 1972 became my first car at 15 then I bought it back a few years ago and pulled it apart and made a bit faster and a bit lighter as you can see

I also agree with the Porsche and TVR side of things
Coming from a Chimaera and Tuscan to a 996 Turbo

Hence my new love for Maserati and my Carbon fetish has continued with my new Purchase
Pics from our Roadtrip to run it in
