Hi Yan,

Sorry I couldn't hang around long, I felt guilty dropping in and dashing off again. I'll be back...!

I like your steering wheel. I was thinking of doing the same as the seats are a bit tricky to get in and out of and the wheel does get in the way. Any pointers on the best bits to buy would be appreciated.

Paul,

What wax.... ssshhuuuttt uuupppppppppaaaa. I clay'd it and gave it one go with resin polish. Before we go to the secret destination I will fine clay it, enhance it, polish it and then use the slightly more expensive than average wax on top. Then it'll bling.

Mark,

Don't think I've met you but please don't think this was easy, one of life's forks?... yep a big fork up by me really and when you finish you look back and think... yep the missus is right, I am mad. But I'd do it again....

If you're asking about the orange Tuscan it is fine, save an EFI fault that came up last weekend following me washing it. Was thinking of selling as it is a bit nice to "waste" on track, but then the Sag has only been out twice this year and that includes the MOT trip so I am at a cross road in car ownership. I actually want to go racing/track days and a "semi battered" Elise and trailer would fit the bill.

To explain, I found someone sitting on my Sag a few years ago, no damage to the car, when I grabbed hold of him his girl friend and mate, with camera phone in hand, bleated on that he loved cars.... I shook him about and threatened to smash his mates camera phone... anyway that p'ed me off.... then three years later I find the Elise with its front grilles crushed where a dick head has sat on it, no doubt for a photo... arrggghhhh. I am so protective/OCD/fussy etc. around my cars, and others if we travel in a group, this sort of behaviour spoils the ownership.... hence I think an old boner Elise and rag the life out of it on track will fit the bill.

Don't be such a girl, get the Tuscan out on track, you will love it. Contrary to popular belief you don't get an abundance of stone chips from trackdaying, just stay away from airfields days as they are stone chip central.

Not a girl just hacked off that where I live you have to leave home before 6AM to get anywhere and even then constantly battle with morons who can't drive. The last club meet I went to, on a Sunday, I crawled through traffic for 15 minutes just waiting for the crunch as someone in a 4x4 tries to text and drive then bumps into me....fortunately it didn't happen but they are everywhere. I don't enjoy driving them on the road anymore.

But all tracks have gay lord sound limits which is fine if your driving a ball strangled mobile... Where freaks have bought houses near a track and coerced the council into enforcing a noise limit.

I'm with john the world is full of piss taking wnakers, the moment you explain the error of their piss taking ways the cameras are out and the police are called.

In addition to that I go out last weekend round my local test track route and a pot hole has opened up that bends my weak out of shape and rips the bead of my couple of hundred mile old R1R... I'll stop now but I'm not sure where the great In Great Britain went.
