(she`s coming up beautifully!) Discarded a 1999 Rover 400 to get this "proper grown up" car and so far I have to say that it`s a very wise move. Looking forward to some interesting posts, and some blissful motoring!

Defector Posts: 8,735 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	Well, hopefully Ill be up another 200cc before xmas, but still, I reckon uber-tricked-out-ness can beat big cc's when done right. By next year I want to have created a "two litre two point six beater". Even rhymes!! But 1.8 is fine for a first 190E I reckon. You enjoy the handling more, and learn how the car feels through the twisty bits, maybe tweak the suspension a bit to enhance that feeling, and then you want lots more power..
