Nothing scheduled for next year yet fella, but liking your choice of car; should be great fun on circuit. How are you finding it? If do happen to find ourselves on track at the same time fancy swapping for a couple of laps?

Unfortunately no Red 993 Turbo's, I know which car is yours too.

These are the only other cars cars I took pics of.

I was only taking pics when my friend was driving and must have missed you.

I was impressed with the noise the red 911 pictured above was making. Sounded like the tappets had never been adjusted in its life!

Any 993turbo's in your collection?


I was also impressed that the silver golf kept going - every time it went past it sounded like a surefire bottom end death rattle.

We'll see ;o) The MINI has been chipped, so should be about the same power as yours (although still karting around a little more weight) Cornering fun though; MCS likes lift off oversteer Who's the organizer?

Not too bad, depends how its driven really: 29mpg @ 90mph, 26mpg @ 100mph, less when really going for it. Probably 27-28 day to day running. The chip actually improves ir!

My Silver Golf - must've been the shopping trolley caught underneath!

Seems OK, apart from the brakes - back to shopping duties...
