Looks like it is in better nick than Wishy's as it is  :D

What are your plans - just track days or perhaps a bit of hillclimbing?

Is that so you have something to use the overalls on?
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Nice one Rick, the Xi is a pretty beast!  "if it goes as well as it looks...."

Preztel - you've seen the GTV then?  Hoping to get a test at Haynes within a month, and maybe a trip to Llandow to the test track there (thats your neck of the woods I think).  Want to do some Hill Climbs and Sprints, and would love to have the budget to have a go at the Alfa series that its eligable for, or Euro Saloons.  Doubt I can get that together tho.

Hi DR.

Yes, I have seen the GTV. I think the phrase 'would suit enthusiast' is appropriate, although I'm sure Wishy would disagree. Still, rose tinted spectacles and all that.

Llandow is indeed fairly close to us. Let me know if you go. From what I understand it's not tooo bad a track, often in use for kart racing.
