Just a quick hello to you all.

Thought i would upload some pictures of my new car i bought from Tony @ puma speed.

Randoms pictures below including a few photos of my friends cars my 172 Cup and my old Williams Clio before I rolled it :(

I have booked the car in for the front bumper, bonnet, wings and rear quater panels to be sprayed on the 22nd.

Cannot believe the sheer grip the car has to offer, it reminds me of how the williams used to hold the road but yet incredibly more grip :D

Just spent the whole day treating the paint work to Meguires 3 stage polish and wax.

Replaced wheel centre caps as there was 4 replacement ones in the glove box :D (Part number "Order 279393 1000/S + FORD RACING MS00KB137AA")

Some pictures not brilliant quality as taken on iPhone :?

Congratulations on your car :D

The FRP will go round corners faster then the Clio, but doesn't have the same sort of acceleration.
I couldn't believe how easily one closed me down after I lost it on a roundabout.
Only for me to pull away on the next lot of corners :lol: and that wasn't a Williams one.

First came across this car in the service area at RallyGB in 2001 when it was Martin Rowe's company car. Second owner was a member of our first mailing group for Racing Puma and was a regular meet attendee.

Hope you have some happy miles in it :)

to be honest I was completely fine just broken hearted :(
Car went [profanity replaced] over end at about 35 mph hit a mud bank and it just carried enough momentum to bring the [profanity replaced] end over the front, happened so slowly :( cost me 7k in total as car was 5k and third party insurance at 2k :(

Dropped the FRP at mates body shop yesterday it's looking so good will upload some pictures tomorrow :)
