Hi

My name's Mike and im an alcoh... Shit, wrong forum!

So a little about me. I'm 24, I'm an aircraft engineer and I love cars!

I use internet forums daily and I should be able to use the 'search' function so hopefully I wont piss people off ;)

My car history is as follows:
Vauxhall Astra (First car. Slow. Crap)
Seat Ibiza FR TDI (Fast at the time)
RX8 231 (Amazing handling, shit MPG)
Seat Leon Cupra R 1.8 20vT (Tuned to 255 bhp, Quick!)
Skoda Octavia vRS 1.8 20vT (Meh)
Honda Civic (EP3) Type R (Good fwd handling. Not fast enough)
Vectra SRi 120 CDTI (Motorway hack)
99 JDM 10AE MX5 (Great little motor)

I've got my feelers out for an 6 MPS, going to see one tomorrow evening in fact! Fingers crossed it'll be nice...

I'm here mainly for the wealth of information that can be found on good forums and this probably wont be the last you hear from me!

Cheers, Mike.
