I have a 182 which has 'sold' but the buyer has gone silent and isn't replying to emails or whatever - if you want a cheap car let me know smile

I would skip the 1987 and go straight to the Clio 182. They're surprisingly quick, balanced and won't cost anywhere as much in tyres, brakes and maintenance.

RX8 is lovely but I've never ever seen one out on a Trackday. I suspect there is a reason for that. Price of rear tyres would be a starter...

RX8 tyres aren't that expensive, 140-150 for the oem bridgestones but plenty of decent tyres for 100ea.

R3 I think has 19 in wheels though so might be more.

Yep. It's a nice car, just after a Defender now.

Guy has just contacted me telling me that 'someone in my office must have used my PC'.

Sigh.

One of the PH journos has just swapped his old mx5 for an rx8, good read & proves rumours are wrong.

It mostly went up during my student days.

Are you going to the Sunday Service this weekend?
