Anyway I'm liking the new forum layout, it's great to see so many new members and nice to see the old guys are still about. Looks like there are some great products and services on offer in the business Section.

Nice to have you back, and congrats on the kid!

Is that a RS2000 or a Mexico? Pure sweetness either way! My first car was a MK1 Mexico, I sure miss it!

Thank you all for the nice reception :D life has been good but in all honesty I'm only now just getting over the shock of the new arrival, what an unimaginable impact she has had on my life :shock:

Funny you should mention it, due to all the original Avante owners now trying to shift their "investments" I picked up a stunning almost new built example a week ago for a bargain basement price :wink:

The white car is an RS1600, mine's a 1300 Sport however it will replicate the RS1600 right down to a twin cam old skool replica engine.
