  1. 6 speed is quicker and the quicker you go the bigger the gap Sources: 40+ runs at Santa Pod Laps of the Nurburgring and Brands Hatch Flat out runs on the Autobahn
  2. I saw a red GTI at Voodoo with these seats a couple of years ago. They lovely.
  3. This thread need updates. I missed out on taking a photo of 80085 miles on my latest 5 by 1 mile Balls
  4. No comment Lovely car in safe hands
  5. It'll come round to us all eventually, but good luck with your better long term option
  6. Is that because of the upcoming diesel scrappage scheme?
  7. Missed you getting a GTI. Very nice too!
  8. When I bought mine, the Saxo VTS/106GTi were the main competition at £9995 and £10500 respectively (for a better drivers car) Clio and Mini were a class above the Lupo, in power and price.
  9. With you having discounted some of the other suggestions I might make, I'd say get a TVR because the Exige will be just too similar to your Elise. A mate of mine had an early mid-life crisis and, never having shown any interest in anything petrolhead ever, bought a T350C. He got rid of it after 3 months because it scared him silly, but I did get a go in it before he bailed. Have you tried a Caterham? Expensive yes but they're the most in-your-face thing this side of a motorbike. Not a very safe road car granted, but for a track day...
  10. T350C means 16 to 25k budget?
  11. First front left bearing lasted 40k. Second front left bearing starting to grind at 58k. The first one had a hard life, the second one has been murdered.
  12. If you don't declare, you won't be fully covered if you have an incident. Why not cut out the annoying and expensive process of getting insurance and just not bother with insurance at all? It would save you wasting hundreds of pounds every year on buying a service you won't see the benefit of.
  13. I've got one in the loft you can have if you can be arsed to pay the postage.
