Hello all!
I bought a Puma about a year ago. Had _loads_ of problems (and endless money consumption, phew..) to get rid of all weird engine problems (obviously I should've joined this forum earlier)... Now finally it starts to feel remotely OK and to prove that we finished overall fourth on autoslalom competitions two weeks ago! Got some video footage of the occasion, also featuring another (blue) Puma (mine's the first grey one on the video) but also some non-puma-vehicles (sorry for those ;-) )

Hope you enjoy:

Maybe we should try something like that in a supermarket car park at a meet?

"Cones" were a bit solid though, and probably complete with steel reinforcing rods

Yep, I guess those bigger 'cones' scared some of the guys to drive slower... I've been so frustrated with all the unexpected maintenance costs with my Puma that I just dared them to come at me!

And you should deffinately try your Pumas at autoslalom! It seem to be great car for that! I used to race an Opel Kadett C Coupe (my C-Rocket) and thought it wouldn't get better than that.. But now I think Puma has all the potential needed, just gotta learn the tricks of front wheel drive...
