nixy Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Went to a track day today at Elvington and got taken out a few times in my mates MX5. What a bloody fun car for the track! Had a great time! Awesome little machine! Crash helmet was slightly snug and my mate had to pull it off for me! After that went for a tyre kicking session of AndySpak's new caymen. Really nice! Had a drive in it and was really impressed - lovely gear box! Very trusting of him after what I did to my wheel earlier this week! Quote

Darren-B Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Mx-5s are great fun, me and my mate are just in the process of building two track ready ones super duppa charged Hoping to do a shake down with Mrlizard @ Brands within the next few weeks Quote
Darren-B Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Faster than the zed too well to 100 anyway Quote
nixy Posted November 7, 2010 Author Posted November 7, 2010 I was amazed at it really! Just flew! The guy is an ace driver though - has done rallying and racing and stuff a lot of years. There is a noise issue at Elvington because of the bloody NIMBY's and he got told off for tyre squeal! He wants me to drive it next time but i'm not sure! Quote
Ricey Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 I actually found it quite ridiculously capable in the snow this year too........so controllable. Quote
Darren-B Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Could he do this in his Mx5? Please ignore the black car, I don`t know what/who that was Quote
nixy Posted November 7, 2010 Author Posted November 7, 2010 Could he do this in his Mx5? Please ignore the black car, I don`t know what/who that was that reminds me of when my son started riding motorbikes and went round and round a roundabout trying to get his knee down! Think it was a standard car but not sure - plenty of sideways action. Quote
Stew Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 I like MX-5s! The fact you can pick up a clean enough early one for 1500 quid and a tattie one for half that is brilliant. Quote
MrLizard Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Faster than the zed too well to 100 anyway Should be able to test that at brands Looking like the 18th for me bud Quote
