Cool, you surely have a massive collection of cars. Are you planning to restore the red one? :driving:
Yes, the MK1 Golf has been off the road for a good 10 years or so. I’ve done a lot of the welding but there’s still more to be done. One day it will be done :D

My Other car is an MG SVR it is made of Carbon Fibre and has a 5-litre mustang engine in there.

This was the launch car at the NEC and other motor shows in 2004 but not registered until 2009 and has 7000 miles from new. I am lending it to Jeremy Clarksons Media company next week which seemed a really good idea at the time but as it is getting closer I am becoming more nervous of....

Lots of these in Aus - I really struggled keeping a supercharged one behind me at Eastern Creek. All the gains I made through corners were immediately lost on the long start-finish straight.
It’s going to sound fantastic with the new exhaust. Post some sounds clips if you have an opportunity.

I can’t see why you a becoming nervous - I’d be scared witless.
Just hope that Hammond fella is on sick leave at the time.
