New Track Toy
Well after selling my previous pug 205 at which I then bought the scoob, I sought of made the wrong decision in selling the pug.
So I've decided to get another pug as it was so much fun that I've missed.
Plans are to have it ready for March but the downside of this is that I need to make room and put the scoob into storage

Yeah I have thinking about it, I've been looking for quite awhile but couldn't find something that I really wanted.
I looked at mk1 VW Golf's, bmw e30 325i's and afew others but come to realise you cant really beat a pug for the fun factor plus spares are really easy to come by .

1.9 it is mate, it comes with 2 sets of wheels.
The pug 205 is the next best thing to the scoob.

Well I've had abit of a set back with the car today, after going over the engine to find a reason for the water leak, I've found a 6in hair line crack at the back of the block.
Now I have a choice to either get a standard replacement 1.9 8v, I could go for the 16v conversion or a GTI-6 conversion which seems to be common at the moment or something else, either way its apain in the **** as I was looking forward to getting this on the track in March.

I think fixing it would only last a short while, I would never trust it on lasting.
I've just bought the engine and box from the 306 gti6 with manifolds and pump and so on and so on.
This way, it'll force me to strip the car down completly and build it up from bottom end up and do a proper job.
I can't wait now, its going to be a handful on the track.
