Wish i had the cash for a Honda, will just be happy to get her back in action. Have decided to get the bike back on track in the meantime, off to Silverstone on the 23rd. It's been quite a few years since the last one & i've never done Silverstone before

Book me a pax for when you get EB111

Update from Paul from LoT...

It has been confirmed by Lipscomb Lotus that Gavan Kershaw will do a couple of pax laps in a new Exige S - for small donation to the Kent Lotus Air Ambulance funds...

He will then show his 'sideways action' DVD from Top Gear and do a Q&A session after the DVD has played.


Now you'd be very, very daft not to come along now!
