New to the puma world

Hi everyone. I brought my puma a few weeks ago. It's a road rally car. I would upload a pic but it doesn't seem want to play ball.

Not the best picture

I've been very lazy I brought the car already prepared. It has a cage, bucket seats. LSD, sump guard and runs fiesta diesel suspension. So I don't really need to do any more to it.

My plan is to try and do the rest of the NESCRO targa rallys this year then take it from there.

Whoa! If that Puma were a woman, I`d marry her :grin: Keep up the good work!

Can you arrive and drive at these targa events? I'm glad you mentioned what championship you're doing as i haven't been able to find any targa stuff for Scotland at all, but I see now there is some! I'm based in Aberdeen and from what I can see there is sod all up here in the way of targa stuff.

They can be done in a standard car the only thing that I think is a must is a sump guard. There's plenty of guys do them with out them. I'm not so sure about event that north in Scotland. But I've don't the Berwick twice now and that's a corking event, it's a two day event. As grass routes Motorsport goes there fantastic value for money.

Maybe something I could look into for the coming years! Berwick is a hike but if I could do the whole thing for around £500 its probably still a good weekend.

The entry fee was about £120 I payed that and my nav payed for the digs on the Saturday night witch i think was about £80. I then maybe spent about £80 on fuel. I did drive the car to and from the event. That's like 200 miles before I started. It's not a cheap weekend but still a dam site cheaper than stage rallying.

This is very true. I know someone who spent over two grand on Rally of scotland, ripped the rear end out on the first day and retired early with something like 5 grand worth of damage.. :shock:

That's the dangers of stage rallying. I would love to have a go but but the cost is just way to much.
