Any updates? This is one of my fav project puma threads!

Great advice. I don't have a B+E licence so I can only tow over 750 kgs if the trailer doesn't weigh more than the tow car and that the MAM of the combination doesn't exceed 3500 kgs. That's why I'm looking at single axle trailers, so that the MAM isn't too high whilst still being able to hold...

A question for the guys and gals who tow your Puma. What do you have? Rent or own a trailer? I've seen a few cheap trailers on eBay that are single axle and seem to be big enough for the Puma. I'm thinking if I can get a single axle rather than a double, it'll keep the weight down and I won't...

It'll be used as our second family car so unfortunately a tranny is not an option. I struggled to get the wife to agree to a track car......I'm pretty sure it'll be mission impossible to get her riding around in A transit!! Lol

Thinking of an Audi Allroad or a Volvo XC70. Got to do a bit more research on tow cars though. How easy is it to work on the Puma? I know there's no Haynes manual but would it be easier say working on a MK5 Fiesta Zetec S? Or are they pretty much identical?

Thanks for the friendly welcome guys. I'm not planning on having the car on the road, so won't have to worry about tax/MOT/Insurance. I'll hire a trailer each time to take it to a track (no more than £50 a day, sometimes less) or find a cheap one to buy. The main reason I chose the Puma over...

Good evening guys and girls. So I persuaded the wife to let me have a track day car providing it's cheap....really cheap. Had a few options in mind like a MG ZS 180, Clio 172 etc etc. Then I remembered my mums 1.7 puma and how much I loved driving it. The handling, the noise and the feel of...
