That corner is Paddock Hill bend, and its notoriously bad!!! and i was pushed! That was a while back though!
LOL that old chesnut, i used that line so much when i was doing rallycross, you will have to try better than that EMU sorry Emoe lol
Saw one of these at the Ring in May, UK plates on it, led to believe it was something to do with RC developments. Awesome looking looking bit of kit and so big in the Metal its such a big car!
This one is slightly older than you describe but a great price for the mods on it!

Some nice cars out there, couple of STi,s for around the 8k bracket aswell
Firstly mate welcome to the fold, good choice over the EVO although they are a cracking motor too! From what you describe you are after a Blobeye model. Your mates is known as the Bugeye! There are some cheap ones around at the moment there was a nice black one completly standard for 7k. These do fall into the new tax bands so there may be more coming along. Ideally a FSH and there may even be the odd one out there with extended warranty. What is your Budget?
