Howdy Mates!

I just wanted stop by and say Hi. I am really jealous that you guys get such a cool car as the Corsa. I could hold my breath for them to be manufactured over here, but I wouldn't last long.

Here's some recent "baby had a bath" photos and some action shots from my hobby - Autocross. Not bad for a 2000 Focus ZX3 with 75,000+ miles on it, eh?

It you want to see details of the specs/parts my car has go here: My Car Domain Site

Welcome to the site!

I loved Auto Cross while I was over there! I tried it in a Dodge Neon SRT-4. Harder than it looks

Looks like a nice car, great colour.

Interesting choice for autocross though, is it not a bit heavy?

True about the muscle cars. But what good's something that is only fast in a straight line?

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, it's a 2.0 Zetec with the MTX-75 5spd tranny.

The color was called Malibu Blue here in the states.

Very true, you only have straight roads though

and there far cooler than about 80% of the cars we have built

1722??? Nice. And a 1.6 turbo to boot? That's a friggin' GO KART FROM HELL!

The only time I go up against '89 Civics is at National-level events (about twice per year). I do get my arse handed to me, but I expect that. I do drive mine daily, bet those stripped out ricers can't say that.
