Thanks lads!

Thanks very much for the comments! Like most things in life, the Eibachs are a compromise. I'll be honest and say in my opinion they are too stiff for the road. The standard cup suspension isn't exactly soft, but it is/was bareable, however with these springs fitted it tends towards the...

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

So guess what… a floppy-haired political buffoon is still yet to pilot an F1 car to victory, and equally as predictable is the fact I failed to deliver an update within the same week… nor even the same month... but God loves an optimist, right? Where were we anyway? As it turns out not far from...

Not a huge difference in the dry to be honest, if anything the Nankangs offered a bit more grip right at the limit (although I don't think I've tested the Yokos quite as hard yet). But in normal driving, spirited b-road blasts and any kind of non-perfect conditions the Yokos are leagues and...

I must seriously apologise for my absence on this thread, I’m sure you have all been yearning for updates… no? Well you’re going to get them anyway. I’m not sure anything of any major note happened between my Brands track day and the next one at Rockingham a month later, so we will kick things...

Thanks for the comment Adam, happy you appreciate my efforts! Yes the Exige is a little bit special isn't it, he's entering it into a little all-Lotus race series this year which should be a lot of fun!

Thanks for the comments both, glad you are fans of my drivel! I most certainly will! Would be great having a local to guide us about rather than relying totally on my (often eratic) navigation skills!

A reasonably brief update today, starting with a photo of a photo. I’ve been meaning to transfer some of my recent shots to print form for a while now. It’s all well and good taking lovely photographs on an expensive DSLR, playing with them on an expensive piece of editing software, and then...

You should! It is!

Thanks all for the lovely comments! It is a quite phenomenal machine, its got some kind of uprated intake too which means the supercharger screams like a banshee, properly gave me chills listening to it echo around the mountains! I was only 18 back then and the Punto was my second car, oh...

Thanks @dann2707, glad you enjoyed it. I was on FiatForum yes, although I didn't post much, my main haunt during my Fiat ownership was PuntoSportsClub. My username on all forums has always been Godders though, or at least Godders with some numbers/letters following it if some selfish bugger had...

So our festive frolic over to Wales happened, and I am pleased to report that nobody died. We met initially at a small services in Swindon, with the temperature gauge atop the Clio’s dashboard indicating a heady 1 degree centigrade. The previous day had also seen a not-insignificant amount of...

Thanks for the comment mate, glad you liked the 5 and are liking the Clio! I'm not sure this car will go quite as bonkers as the Mazda build though I'm afraid... That's more the Husky's territory! Thanks a lot Steve!

Thanks Daz, no major plans for the Clio now to be honest! I wouldn't mind a few subtle exterior upgrades but thats not a priority. In fact the next expenditure really needs to be a NSF hub as the bottom ball joint has started knocking :cry: Plans for the Husky (should I ever pull my finger out)...
