Ok, had a great time at Brands Hatch yesterday and depite the weather reports stating that heavy rain was forecast, it remained dry all day.
The tyres performed very well, the turn in was sharper than the Exaltos and the outright corning grip was very impressive. There was no tyre squeel...
I knew that was coming! Will do! (It's good news) There were a few stones that I picked up (no trips to the gravel though) and they're quite easy to identify when they hit, but this is totally different.
I had a quick look at the rear heatshield and it looked pretty solid, but I suppose there is the possibility that the wind could be catching it at certain speeds. I'll have another look at that tomorrow.

Mine was the loud version, theirs was the soft for info.
It's a hotrod. The only reason they change their body shape is to encourage sponsorship (usually to a more modern design). It probably started life as a mk2 Escort or something similar.
