First post!

Hello people,

Abit about myself,
My name is Mark and im 25yrs currently living in Manchester but lived most of my life in Plymouth.
Ive had 4 R5s in my time when i was 18;)
In March i bought myself a Phase1 reg plate C****** as a non runner and the body work was OTT!! big time .(Im sure the previous own was a member here as ive got the RTOC keyring on the car keys.

Currently turning it into a track car only! so its not my dayly run around.

Thanks guys;)

I went for the matt black looks as its easy to spray, with the R5 being just a track car it will be esay to tart back up after i spin it a few times on track, or should i say off track:)

thanks for the comments guys
