Woo hoo! A new forum...

Anyone else out there thinking about one, waiting for one, or got one?

I've just ordered a 1500, hopefully arriving mid April in time for Folembray. Another couple of weeks to decide the colour after Andrew stole red!

The same! You're not after the Cerbera are you?

I remember you saying you wanted to sell the M3 and get some interesting track car?

[dannylt]

Ah - the Noble, I remember you saying now. Cerbera is a similar car to the Noble I guess; but I've changed my mind and think it's too heavy and has expensive running costs for track use. Yep, I'm trying to sell the Cerbie at the moment, since it's a bit over the top for driving on our busy roads.

Love Donnington though - have lots of video overtaking Noble's

Nildram - quite possibly, though you can hear lots of turbo whoosh as you got past.

Anyway, neither will get a look in with a radical hopefully!

Yours is arriving a week after mine isn't it? I'm sure that's what Ben just told me.

Ha ha ha. You're joking right!?

[dannylt]

Now that you race a Radical as well, what do you prefer driving on track? The major expense with a road car is tyres & brakes, what is it with the radical? I'm hoping the tyres at least will last a good few days!

[dannylt]

Is that a set of slicks? Are they completely worn out by the end of the day, or just not competitive? Anyway - a set of Radical tyres is still cheaper than a set of Cerbera/Noble tyres!

What are the main sorts of crash damage - body work repair?

cheers!

Right, but a radical is also much lighter than a road car. Are the slicks down to the canvas after a single race? Or has the performance just dropped off?

[dannylt]

Thanks for the info! Is there a cheaper route than buying them through the factory?

[dannylt]

Hey, be nice to me, I'm going to have to learn a whole new driving style! I'm sure that back wing will come off for some more oversteer

Buying a car each means we both have spares, but I also really wanted (the probably rarely exercised) option of pootling around in the sun on the road when I fancied it. Unfortunately, although Andrew isn't that far away the traffic is pretty bad - about 3 hours round trip with a trailer .

Besides, if the Cerbie goes, I want something nice to tinker with instead.
