Hello I'm Sophia aka 'gaffers_sis' I'm phils sister-in-law and jo's sister. I have been admiring your club from afar and have been encouraged to join despite the fact I drive a Renault Clio!
Welcome Gaffers Sis!
Hello Sophia and a warm welcome to our club.
First thing we have to do is get you out of that Clio and into a kit car :)
Look forward to seeing you at a meet or event soon.
Hello Gaffers_Sis and a very warm welcome to the best car club in the U.K.... ;)
Thats because our Gaffer is the best in the U.K..... ;D
Renault Clio............. Mmmmmm......If thats what turns you on, then who are we to say... ;D
Hope to see you soon at one of our meets.... :-*

Hi Gaffers-Sis. Nice to have you aboard.

Hi Gaffers Sis
I see that you come from the glamourous side of the family!!!
Thanks! Maybe I'll be brave enough to come out to a meet with speedy j soon, I'll leave the Clio at home!
Hello from me too, perhaps we can squeeze a bike engine into your Clio? When I was at uni we put a light aircraft engine (cessna) into a Renault 5 so I'm sure it'd be do-able..!

Thats a good point Soph, I'm sure we could butcher your car and bang a busa in it ;)

BUUUSSSAAAAAAA
My sodding paint ran when I sprayed lacquer on my helmet. What do you reckon to that?!
Car certainly did fly! The engine got fitted and we designed the gearbox for it. When it finally hit the road it gave a Porsche 911 quite a surprise! He didn't expect a beat up Renault 5 Campus to spank him like it did.
Sadly the DVLA has rules about putting airplane engines in cars and we couldn't make it road legal so it died a death.
I'm getting concerned now that I'll come back to my car one day after visiting speedy j to find an aeroplane engine in my Clio! It would be quite funny though as it would shut up my friend who drives his focus ST like a nutter
We can definitely make your car faster than his. Just pop it in the workshop, leave it for a few weeks and I guarantee it will come back to you quick.
A couple of quick questions before you leave it with us;
Did you want to keep the rear seats?
Have you driven a rear wheel drive car before?
Do you mind having a parachute strapped to the back?
Haha I wouldn't mind losing the back seats that'll stop people scabbing lifts off me
mid engined it is then.
