Why do I find that so funny Lofty....?

The RallyRep isn't for the shy, retiring type, and the Ur, (with a 3" single box etc) isn't either... The S2 is just smooothhh in comparison...

The best was after I picked the car up after it came through customs.....still had the UK plates on and I drove it down the 401 (Canada's M25) with my boy (who was then 5) sat in his booster chair "driving" with his Spongebob Beanie on.....
I have never seen so many people do a double take.....plus i had several "street racers" pull alongside and check out what we were....got several nods and thumbs up.....absolute classic moments!

Closest thing I've had to someone taking the piss was a guy standing outside my work who yelled out that my car was "only running on five...." he was quickly corrected by the lads in the yard nextdoor

Couple of young lads with seriously quick cars (one being a toyota ute with a beautifully prepared 13B turbo) have asked for a look and ride in the coupe, I told them it was only a 10v FWD and their reply was "so.... its a cool car" - I wont argue there!
