will be there in BLUE with the lotus boys.

Zed is a great car, but the elise is too. Double check the insurance, I do not think they are that much higher than a Zed, I would expect it to be lower. Certainly less than a mod'd zed. Just try to get a 24hr test of an elise and see if you can live with the space issues.

These days are really great safe fun. Cannot recommend it too much. PS Ask Walshy if Martin Donnelly can give you advice/training instead as at least he has finished a race this year.

Must have been you as on same train, was following you but not closely as did not want to attract attention, was going to come a say hi but you went over the right side in the queue and the left lanes were empty and I do not like Q's, did look around car park but did not see yours but was some other nice kit, they sent the Lambo down the lorry Q as I think it was a bit wide for the normal car carriage. Could have been me, I was following my mate in his Silver Grey M3 CSL, his plate would be more noticeable than mine UK53 CSL. We were on the saturday train at 7.20am. Cheers Ando

Looks ideal start point for chesterfields track zed.......

Did you follow a silver m3 for a spirited drive down the m20 to the tunnel on the Saturday morning.

Anyone want to see what we are talking about have a look at http://www.eleganthat.com/onboard/10384.htm Then if you have 31st may-1st June free get your ass to SPA, there will be 60+ lotus cars racing and 10 x 2-11 inc an Ex-F1 driver. May be able to get you free entrance tickets.

Will be at Cambridge monday, going back to reading area. Was at Ipswich and Norwich today.

I can personally recommend this car, I know the driver, Skeggs as does Louis. I know the chap who helps him tune the engine etc and the car is quick as is the driver. Was second only to Randy at Brands on the A1GP day. Randy's for 50k is extremely quick, he is now racing a B spec one and still won the race at A1GP.

Would imagine that they might work out this is getting ring'd Lots of 10 and 1 being given I think as every time I look paul seems to go up 5 places then down another 5 places the next time. use this link to see where everyone is http://clubland.fm/index.php/cars/leaderBoard.html

That time is okay really. I did see a blade/GM zed following a M3 going down to the chunnel on Saturday morning (followed him for 20-30 miles down the m20 and he also pulled into the tunnel but queued up at different booth). Do not think it would be you as sure it had a nismo rear spoiler. Did not get reg as he was travelling well.

Done but not sure how a saxo can be in the lead.....

If anyone is free on monday and near Kent come over to france for the day (£22 each way), go to Abbeville and I will give a PAX and you will see what a lightweight can do (by the way I am not a quick driver). Also likely to get you out in some fast elise/exige and one chap on the short list will just scare you to an inch of a brown trouser moment in his caterham... PS anyone going to the A1GP sunday.

Gents I have driven the 7 to work...twice actually. But it does not have a roof, windscreen or doors and I have to wear a suit each day....so not ideal. But I disagree about 1 car. I used have the Zed for 3 years and also the 7 for fun. Both great cars. Now a drive a big tug boat of a BMeer but still quick enough, very comfortable and arguably far more practical for a work horse than a zed. I still thing it would not be toooo far behind a Zed on road or track. If/when I go for a GTR I would still have a proper lightweight for fun. ! know of a caterham currently on sale with a trailer that everyone of you would enjoy as much as the zed and its on sale for £12.5k For a track would be great and if you bin it the max damage would be £12k compare to binning a GTR at £60k

Also oil burners are starting to do well at BTCC, currently 5 and 6th.

330d and 335d can be chipped by DMS for £900 and both would leave a Zed from 20mph to anything including 155mph. Without the chipping you would still be surprised by a 335d. And remember the thing is an auto. 335i would also be interesting. Still believe a 135i would be quicker than a Zed in standard form. The only reason I went petrol with my 5 was the strange feeling of a turbo oil burner. They just do not rev the same way and only go up to 5k rpm, if you are used to drive at 6-8k then it just feels wrong. However it did not mean they were slow.

Ring is not really a track as its a public road....albeit a toll one. And the thing is still heavy....BUT is a great car and I do not thing anyone will disagree with that, I have always said from the start. Just think what it would be if it lost some of that weight...cannot wait until someone does strip it out. This is what I call a proper light track car and the GTR is a long way from that time. http://www.radicalextremesportscars.com ... /index.php

Sarnie you know you would just love to have a tank like mine. well maybe in 20 years time. Still think its the best I can find to tow a 7 and take six wheels in the back at the same time. And okay will not post on here as not to everyones taste.

Also if he puts one wheel on that its highly likely its going to spin. And if does spin he on to the snow will have no steering or braking so lots of risk.

Car looks great, pics are some of the best....and great to see people open to other makes. Will have to do some more photo's of the e61

You can check all the old MoT's to see the mileage and if pass/failed. You do need some info on the car first, but a decent seller should give you that if he is legit.... http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ ... equest.jsp

Could not believe what they did.... I would have been nicked for thumping someone. Story http://www.t595.net/messageboard/thread ... 66976.aspx pics http://www.t595.net/album/album.asp?album=8430&pg=1

That a great price as I am paying about the same amount in £ for Le Mans. If you are doing anything up north let me know as I have a place near St. Omer so welcome to stop over.

Nope a GTR - had to get something bigger to fit his ego in.... Think spill has has a 911 now. Even Dash is rumoured to be getting a porker.....

agreed he does deserve what he got if not more punishment. I just did not think anyone on here would be that way inclined so I was just saying that we should all think of these things before doing something stupid with speed. PS did anyone see the 350z getting pulled on Sky TV last night, the cops thought he got upset since he saw in their words a BETTER car (fezza) hence why he sped off. Chap was very lucky, think the reg was GY03 something but not sure exactly what it was.
