    hi all

    First post!

    just want to say hello to you all and introduce my self before posting any threads.

    i live in northwich and own a motorcycle shop but to be honest working with bikes every day for last god knows how many years has ruined a life long love of bikes so over the last few years been getting more involved with fast cars that as a lad could never afford. got to say i'm really enjoying developing my r5, had it for last 5 years and won't be making the same mistake of going four wheels for a living as i did with bikes, gonna keep it as a very interesting hobby. i've got a few other reasonably quick cars (hope you don't take offence to non renault) 2x subaru imprezas and a mini cooper with mg turbo engine conversion (propper mini not bmw!) got to say the r5 is the daddy of them all and gets my upmost affection and attention of all.

    i use all my cars daily (one at a time that is) and do as many track days as i can afford which amounts to about one every six weeks or so)
    i'm not made of money by any means and family comes 1st but after that if i've got a few spare quid i save it and put it to one side for my cars. i work 12 hrs a day six days a week every week so i justify my motors by telling my self its my reward for hard work (the old bread knife sometimes struggles to see it in the same light)

    ok gonna stop goin on now......cheers.....mike.
