  1. Brother in law got one 1 year ago. What a mistake that was. Nothing but problems. Personally I think the wankle engine in these is not worth it unless you are prepared to spend lots of money on it. Like others said, they are cheap for a reason!!!

  2. Looks like a popular event for you all.

     

    So plan so far is a booking with SpeedChills,

     

    *Potsmouth to Caen overnight ferry on Thursday night.

    *Arrive in Caen around 7:30am, drive to Le Mans,

    *Camping in Bleu Nord (numbered pitch),

    *Go to drivers parade on Friday,

    *Party on Friday night,

    *Go to the race on Sat/Sun (General admission tickets)

    *Ferry back from Caen to Portsmouth on Monday afternoon around 16:00.

    *Back in UK for around 21:00, arrive back to Cheltenham at 23:00,

    *Sleep for 24 hours upon return !!

     

    Any suggestions/changes or advice on the above itinerary??? :wacko:

  3. Hired the Sagaris for my Wedding Weekend. . . .

    Picked it up from London (hired from Bespokes), 100 miles back to Cheltenham, it was a great drive, but damn it was hardwork driving it. Traffic it hates, if not going over 30 mph all you can smell is fuel! Fuel sensor failure on way but it went out after a while. Bonnet catch comes loose over 100mph so have to pull over to refasten it. Car sounds obscenely good. What a noise.

     

    You feel special in it that’s for sure, the floor mounted pedals take some getting used to, the drive is raw, no other way to describe it, the first 130 miles were hard work and I was knackered from having driven it. But after that initial getting used to it, my god it was a great drive. No driver aids, no traction, no ABS, but when you got it all perfectly synchronised it was truly epic. When returning it on Monday I was gutted, had fallen in love with it for sure. Although one thing was sure, it was not an everyday car, a weekend blast I could not fault it. I recommend it to anyone who loves driving. It’s a pure spirited drive. . . :teeth:

  4. I found Bridgestone Potenza S001 anyone tried them :)?

     

    Had the S001's on my Alfa, quite liked them, however different car and FWD so not sure how relevant.

     

    They were good in dry and wet (although best wet tyre I had were the Vvredestein ultrac sessanta)

     

    You could try ebay?

  5. I got one a few months ago from a member on here who was selling.

     

    Great piece of kit if you want a more lively throttle response. I certainly did. Standard throttle is very delayed.

     

    I keep on SP4 for daily use. A lot better than standard.

     

    Very good kit. Go for it.
