Williams 3 is a different colour to the 1's and 2's. I know a LOT about these cars, my best friend used to own Prima Racing's demo car. They're GREAT fun to drive. smile What Mark says about the gearboxes is true frown

Gonch I can help with wheel re-furbs and stuff, having done a set before. Got all the paint codes and stuff smile

i also may be able to obtain nice parts for these as my mate`s garage houses a clio cup car team that race alongside the touring car races as sort of feature races,he currently has about 5 of these clio cup cars and an artic truck for carrying cars with workshop,lounge area etc,infact the trailer is the old amg mercedes one as i watched it arrive with amg logos still on it and helped him fix some minor problems on it,top set up he has,he tried to coax me into the drivers seat last season in one of the cars but £20,000 sponsorship that i needed isn`t as easy found as it may sound so i declined Sad

here is his website and the trailer can be seen in one of the photos and my mates garage is a partner fleetpoint services where everything is kept and maintained who incidently is one of my sponsors when i rally aswell as can be seen on the wings of my old nova rally car

do you think billing would mind if i blagged a loan of this to bring a couple of mk1`s to the show,i know he would give me it if i put the fuel in and he wasn`t using it,would look cool and proffesional for the mk1 club wouldn`t it lol big grin

Yeah, not a bad setup that. What you mean you can't get £20,000 sponsorship? Take out a loan and just have your picture over the car, yanno, like...

nah going round in circles isn`t my style,i like the rough and tumble of the forests mate,much more fun,the team principal is a real nice guy i don`t know him to well basically just got roped into helping him fix the cars and the truck one weekend,really only know him through my mate,wrong place at the wrong time,but he was very impressed with my nova build and my results so wanted me in one of the clio`s but really not my style i`m afraid Confused
