Soon after i sold the Mini i bought myself an Elise to use this Summer, primarily to pack in some track day action in between races. I've owned it for a few weeks but today was the first time i actually saw it! I met it at Brands to have some instruction with my old man. The car is an...

Went to Snetterton today for my first ever drive of the car. Since last season, where it completed in the final Britcar race, it's on new wheels, is lower, has shed about 50kg and most importantly, has a sequential gearbox. We will be starting the GT Cup series this weekend at Silverstone in...

New Clio 200 in black has parked at my work a couple of times. With the '10 plate out there must be quite a few good Clio plates available!

Took a trip to Moneypit HQ to see how the cars were doing today. Me and the old man are doing the GT Cup opposed to Britcar this season. They are shorter races and so should suit the NSX which is still under development... Currently we are racing the 3.0 car, so we needed a spare engine...

Rather than spamming other people's Mini threads, here are the last photos of the car. Had it detailed a few days ago prior to sale so took the opportunity to get a few shots for the PH ad. It's been a great little car, and i've spent a lot on getting it mint. Hopefully the photos demonstrate...

I recently had a sudden burst of spyware on my computer that thankfully i managed to get rid of. However, there is a taskbar pop up which is from the deleted spyware that still comes up (but nothing loads with in it). Would this be a registry entry that has been missed by the anti-spyware...

There's another kind of tripoding, a boring kind. Believe it or not, i had quite an action pack weekend. Honest. The Mini is settling in well, had my first shopping trip though and the boot space is dire! Fortunately it's normally just me in the car, but a family motor it...

It's been a couple of months since i sold the CSL. Despite the good intentions, i have really missed it, but ultimately it was the right thing to do. I had more or less lined up my next car. I wanted it to be small and relatively cheap to run, but wanted to have lots of toys to entertain me...

Anyone had experience of winter/snow tyres? I'm thinking of getting some spare wheels and fitting them for the next few months!

Not sure if i would of chosen Bon Jovi, but a good tussle between NSX and GTR... http://www.vimeo.com/7677560

Does anyone know if you can setup an external account within Gmail, e.g. send and receive from rob@rob.com? Got someone asking me about it but i've never used it... Cheers!

Another example of how the Yanks do it way better than us...

So, at last the season finale and the exciting prospect of seeing one of our NSXs actually on a race track! My dad opted to drive the NSX with Vicki Butler-Henderson whilst i shared the Elise with our mate James. With Brands Hatch Indy at last favouring the Lotus, we were keen to claim another...

Had the pleasure to have raced against this bad boy, which has been put together with no expense spared! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1325868.htm It hasn't been the most reliable of cars though, which is why i guess they are cutting their losses. Shame...

Today we had a familiarisation trackday at Brands since it was a 'noisy' day (105db). We were joined by many loud TVRs who had obviously cottoned on, and there were two Clio Cups out there getting themselves into trouble! As well as the Clio's making friends with the gravel, it was with a...

One was S2* CUP and looked quite modified, and there was one which looked pretty standard. Saw a sticker!

Yesterday should have been brilliant, as i was going to up Manchester to pick up the Vanquish. I wanted to do a cute little photo diary of the day, but after getting an almighty migrain that resulted in me being sick a few times i was glad to get home... shame it took over 5 hours from...

The Britcar 500 is a 6 hour version of the 24 hour race you may have seen on Top Gear. With the Elise's previous fragility, it was never really on the cards, but with our main competitors not attending, it provided a chance for us to go for a win in their absence. I've never raced on the...

I know, it's pretty self indulgent to start a new thread for this, but i'm so over the moon with how good the NSX looks at the moment i can't resist! Sadly, it wasn't finished in time for the race at the weekend (more on that later in the week!), but we brought it along for display purposes. It...

Some of you may have seen a good few weeks ago that i decided to sell the CSL. It's not a case of not liking the car, but for me, it's a bad influence. Also, coming up with £75k to build an NSX means i can't have my cake and eat it. So, regrettably, i will be putting her up on PH today. My...

Anyone else got this? I played my mate the day he got it and knew i had to get a copy after about 3 minutes! It's bloody difficult though. The graphics and gameplay are excellent, but i get absolutely spanked! I've tried a few cricket games in the past and have to say this is a lot, lot...

So, Castle Combe was a bit of a nightmare, resulting us losing the championship lead to the Seat Leon Supercopa. It was vital that we beat him this weekend in order to reclaim the lead, as it's inevitabale that Kevin Clarke's BMW will win come the last race of the season (because only the best 6...

No, not an AMG fire breathing monster, but an '80s SL 300! My dad bought this a few years back as a 'modern classic', having features such as a galvanised shell and ABS. I'd be surprised if he has put more than 1,000 miles on, and because of that, it's up for sale. It's not my sort of thing...

We arrived at Combe with a slim lead in the championship, feeling a little ill-prepared as our previous experience totalling a few laps in a 1.6 Focus. We had a day's testing, a blank day before Saturday's qualifying and Sunday's race. Unlike most tracks, Combe has no pit garages so we had a...

Was a Trophy at a Silverstone trackday i was at yesterday... had a private reg but can't remember what!

Heres one to kick off (not mine)....

The next round of Britcar is at Snetterton, so because of our lack of straightline pace, we booked ourselves into this Aston Martin owner's club race for a bit of practice. The Super GT race is aimed at housing cars that are very modified, often ineligble for pretty much any other series. Cars...

We've sourced another NSX this week, with the aim of it being in the class below the Elise in Britcar. It will also be used to help with the development of the other NSX. Originally bought from Chiswick Honda (they sold more NSXs than anyone else - a massive 10 or so a year), the car was bought...
