Cheers! I gave it a quick wash & wax on Saturday but it always comes up well biggrin Shame I didn't have the 17" wheels on it as they always attract attention but I have a track day coming up on 15th and wasn't sure when I'd get another chance to swap them over.

I saw yours too - all the way up the other end! I didn't have a chance to poke around it though as by then I'd reached overload!!! It's funny how at the start you look at every car that's even slightly interesting but after an hour of looking at interesting cars you find yourself walking past yet another F430 with barely a glance laugh

Did you like the V8? To be fair it looks ok but sounds a lot better than it looks!

Did you take any pictures? I didn't remember to take my camera paperbag

Is that yours then Lazza, spent a lot of time looking at it, very nice.

I was there, but parked over on the left before you drive onto the track - marina blue mk1 with rota's and Garage Vary lip.

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Looking for a rollbar and really like yours, but wasn't sure if it's tall enough, I'm 6'....

Cheers,

S

Yep, that's my baby! I'm 6'2" and to be honest that roll-bar is only just high enough (with Elise seats). A proper single hoop bar will be a couple of inches higher. Having said that it's still high enough to do the job it's intended to do and is way better than having nothing. it also looks good and still allows the hood to be lifted easily from the drivers seat.

Boss Frog do taller dual-hoop rollbars but I'm not keen on the look of them. The other one that looks good (to me) and is almost a dual-hoop bar is the Hard Dog Extreme.

Hi folks do I take it you attended the breakfast club?
I was unable to go but only live a few miles from the circuit, but would have gone with my Quantum 2+2 rs turbo and been the only one there!

Last time I went I was in my Robin Hood (sold) and found a nice shiny wheel nut on the road leading to the track and as the Hood was so low just picked it up as I passed.
Imagine my surprise when inside amongst hundreds of cars I noticed an MX5 with a shiny wheel nut missing, so I placed it on the centre consol in the hope that the owner would check the tightness of the others. was it any on here?
