my words are my own if people cant look after the car dont buy it

[Jammy]

What if I had been the other way, and someone had gone into him, would you still be saying the same things?! The car would still need repairing?!

[rob mini]

your sig says your 15years old - you have no idea of what it is to drive on the road and before you start ranting that you can drive, i had driven in motorsports since the age of 12 but still found it a shock gettin on the road. you need to grow up fast

OK PEOPLE back on the subject...

what kind of performance are you looking at dan?

[clubman_dan]

yes back to the subject, naff off mini resto and grow up, just because i crashed my car on a section of road which is like ice in any kind of wet/damp weather doesnt mean i dont look after my car, i was devestated when it happened and i cant wait to get it on the road again. when your driving your car in all conditions on the road then i might accept your moaning until then just leave it.
anyway.
i dont really know what sort of power to expect, i chose to go for a 1098 because i think the long stroke should give it a pretty large amount of torque. i could have just gone down the 1.3 route but i fancy a little challenge so why not?!
