[Apologies for the downtime]

Over the last week or so the site has had it’s ups and downs with downtime. This was due to us filling up one of our partitions on the server which holds the databases.

This morning I have moved the the databases to a much larger partition and should no longer cause any issues.

Apologies for this and hopefully it is now all sorted and you guys can get on enjoying the club.

cheers

[Best Car for little money challenge]

So for a bit of fun it would be great to see what we can buy out there for very little money. There are a lot of cars out there that are going for peanuts and there are some real cool performers too. So here is the challenge, what could you buy from http://www.autotrader.com (or any other classifieds) for 3000 US Dollars or less? The winner will be based on performance and price. It can be any brand too!

Post your answers and even a link if you can. Remember it has to be under 3k.

[need help so cunfussed]

[Will Gasoline ever become redundant?]
