I used to work at a company in warrington called howley racing. We used to do all the racing metros for Datapost and Everest double glazing; driven by such stars as Steve Soper!!
Believe me, you would be amazed at the speeds and acceleration that is attainable from a souped up 1.3 metro engine!!

as his normal guy was on his hols.
