First post!

Thought i would say hello, going to join up once i get my funds sorted.

My name is Carl and im from near Durham

Never owned a R5GTT before but i do run a 172 track car and a Focus RS on the road.

Should receive the car sometime this week, needs a large amount of TLC.

Hi Carl,

Welcome to the club. As soon as you've joined up, get a thread started in the 'Projects and Restorations' section.

You'll be able to buy a heap of parts through the classifieds section as well as receive and benefit from the extensive knowledge base that the members hold.
