    The new R5GTT

    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.









    Going to leave it completely standard and restore it. Its got 79k on the clock and has been stored since 1999.

    Carl

    PS. if Ashy reads this, ive PM'd you on Cliosport
