  1. Goodwood of the North- I'd hesitate to say the 'poor man's' as Cheshire money is in full abundance. I asked the guy selling his 2nd hand helicopter there in 2012 and he didn't blink when he asked me for £2m. I'd have had it if it had been £1.75m and Wonga had said 'yes' Same problem as others though in how to get my two lads there in the Z.
  2. Thanks for all the replies- my Z is purely a toy and I probably run 70% track day to 30% road and most of that is getting to the venue. I am planning a Nurburgring trip this year but will have to find a way of fitting 4 track wheels into the Z (or hopefully convince a estate car owning conspirator to run as support vehicle- paying their fuel would be cheaper than running on 888s) and use the current Potenzas for the run through Belgium. I think that the 888s will get the nod- and I may even invest in a trailer!
  3. I'm upgrading the boots for the upcoming track day season and have always used current 'road' tyres. I now want to kit out the Z with some proper trackday tyres and I'm trying to choose between the three main contenders. Toyo R888 Michelin Pilot Super Sports Yokohama Advan Neovo AD08R The R888s only come in 40 profile rather than the standard 45 which equates to a 25mm reduction in OD. Would increasing the rims to 19" be the best option (only 1mm difference then)?- edit-Ignore this option as the r888 doesn't come in a 40 profile 19" Does anyone have ay experience / comments on the three types? Hard and fast knowledge beats the marketing hype hands down every time.
  4. Were you near Corley Services last Thurs on the M6 southbound?
  5. I despair for the lack of awareness that the average UK driver shows. I love driving in Germany where drivers use their mirrors and keep a check on who's around them- no speed limits in some areas help. The UK is nannyed into everyone thinking that they're safe when they're not.
  6. Nice car and cool photo (HDR?) of the SX
  7. Should have no prob changing the wheel size if you want to plenty come up for sale on here
  8. Try Mercedes benz world, I used to work there as a track host, if you have a race license you can work on the track as a "driving specialist" to make some money and get some track instructing under your belt. You don't need to have an instructing license just experience with cars and track driving I think I'll sign up for an ARDS test in Spring on this basis.
  9. Think that this is spot on- nice work
