Afraid it is time to make way for a new project! Yep, the GTR is now officialy up for sale. I have been having these strong urges for a few weeks now and NEED a new car to build!

So what is it to be?

An Ultima Can-Am of course, didn't think I was that silly did you?

No, not with the full screen option and the full weather gear (Aero screen to be used most of the time but wife insisted on some kind of compromise)

Yes I am going to be at Donnington & Gaydon.

Yes I am going on the Pie & Drive II (With a bloody great "FOR SALE" sign)

£54,995 - Take a look at the advert in Pistonheads section.

The A/C works OK, I've found it can struggle in very high temps. (Mid 30 deg C in Le Mans this year) but only when I was sat in traffic.

Ultiman - How you doing? My, you have been a busy boy. Not been playing with our mad friends on the continent again? I hope and kept the speeds legal!

How did the car run, no overheating??

Are you going up to Donnington? Maybe see you there.

Stig - The uprated rads with full boxing in!!! It was very hot and we were sat in traffic for nearly an hour with both our tick overs set about 250rpm to high!

As Ultiman said though, over heating in Le Mans has it's benefits. We were about 10 paces away from a very nice little bar. Able to watch some very nice exotica go past, and some of the cars weren't bad either.
