New member from Quebec, Canada. ​​​​​​​

Hi Everyone. ​​​​​​​My name is Fred, I used to autocross a lot 10 years ago, but got married, bought a house, got a kid, and then builg a 26x28 garage to have fun. I decided that I wanted s miltipurpose fun little car to autocross, track and do some time attacks. I don't want a trailer queen but a car I can drive to my events. Thinking of having a small trailer for tires and tool box. Im currently debating between a R50, R53 or R56 turbo.I'm mechanicly inclined so I'm not affraid of getting my hands dirty, plus I'm pretty good with a welder and grinder.

hoping to learn more on these cars and have fun.
cheers
​​​​​​​Fred

Thanks...will do...yhea... the more I'm doing my research the more the choice are narrowing towards a R53. ​​​​​​​I remember getting my butt kicked in Hstock by R50's when I had my focus ZX3... But now as a track toy the R53 will fit the bill.cheers​​​​​​​Fred​​​​​​​
