Very regular member / post whore on P1WOC and thought I’d sign up on here as I’m keen to get to a few meets in my area! Just a little info on me…

Now 24 in April this year. Melted a piston recently, so car is currently in for a full 2.1 stroker heart beat. Should be done in the next 2 months.

I use the P1 as a treat when I feel like driving it be it on a summers evening in the week, blast at the weekend, or if I’m picking up a lady friend lol!

Hi Spooky, welcome to SES, I to have a P1 which is also being re-built. Hope to have it back soon.
I must say yours does look very nice, especially with the " ornaments" drapped on it!
I am also on P1WOC ( under another name ) so hopefully we will meet up at one of the meets soon. Cheers, Martryn.

I'll say thanks for all of us. Mines a 'from factory' Leggy GT-B which is a bit of a rarity on SES as most members have prezza's. Mr'X' I believe, however, is another member with a Leggy GT-B also........soooo, I feel a wee bit out of place but everyone's quite welcoming round these parts.

I'd say I'm looking forward to seeing your P1 in the 'flesh' but I haven't yet managed myself to get to my first meet yet
