    Hello, new member from Southampton!

    About time we had a Southampton Meet then. Matt I knew it was you just shocked to see you on here. I'll get in touch about the detail but expecting to go into the bodyshop soon to have my dent and scratches done. So I'll see what the rest of the car looks like when they've finished.

    200 car of the year

    And it's not the car of the year either, it just beat the Mini Coupe, Fiat Abarth Ferrari and Corsa VXR Nurburgring in a comparison test. The ECOTY was in fact the Porsche RS 4.0

    Replacing Recaro covers

    Customer Services refused to replace mine while it was still within Warranty. I was told that this was normal wear and tear.
