But... don't buy a new one and you can get into a CTR for a lot less money!

CTR with Aircon is 17k................anyway I think they look crap and are over priced. Most Clio dealer would do you a deal for 13k......Honda dealers wont even discuss discount.
Craig, you can drive around that corner......so no probs there!

I'm back on me soap box Dave but I maintain that the cup will lap the 'ring' as quick as your 944 turbo.

I got Eibach Pro springs & Brembo discs fitted to my 172 mk1 today.
The ride is spot on. Not noticably firmer than the standard set up but it handles the bumpy B road stuff with far more confidence. Sharper steering response & no noticable body roll as well. Sticks like **** to a blanket now.
Should get even better as the springs bed in
