Will be interesting to see what its eventually putting out. May gain the title of highest outputting RS 2.0 lump!

Well i've just upgraded to the LG Viewty for 90 notes. Was considering the Nokia N95 8gb but think the Viewty is a nicer phone. Also got an extra 200 texts free per month so that now 900 texts, 150 mins for 25 quid on Three.

Came off the northbound Guildford A3 slip road alongside me this evening at about 6.30. Very very dirty.

Ahh ok. Well im gonna have a look at buying new so i think i'll be shopping tomo! Got a decision to make....Daytona, Suzuka or Imola.....Hmmmmmmmmmm!

How much did you pay for them Riz if you don't mind me asking?

Nice one...cheers Riz!

Yeah see i was originally looking at Daytonas a few months ago, but now i have a bit more cash to throw at a pair i thought i'd shop around. Do you sit much lower than in the standard seats? Thats really what im after as being 6"4 i feel perched too high. What the lumbar support like as well?

They are lush but i can't really stretch to a grand....800 at the very max

Ok im in the market for some Cobra seats for the Cup but need some opinions/advice as to which ones to get. Thought Monaco's or Imola's but then heard they are uncomfotable over long distances so need some that are comfortable but that hold you in well so thinking either Daytona's or Suzuka's...

:quiet: To be fair, its a true comment...but as a person i don't have anything against Mr KHunt....just some of his truly awful driving. Thats me trying to be diplomatic.....

:lolup: Now that made me laugh out!

Seconded.....no car deserves keying.....except that of the scrote that decides to key mine.

Love the video Mark. You really have had some hefty near misses! That one at Goodwood was a Houdini act if ever i saw one!

I've only just noticed but its interesting to see that Renaultsport have gone back to the Conti's over the Michelins.

Not a great fan of the Mk1 V6 but i will say that looks mint and its good to hear its going to a good home!

I've said it before and i'll say it again....Renaultsport need to set up separate dealers from the mainstream Renaults. That or at least have specially trained sales people who know the product beyond merely the specs and figures! The amount of sales guys who have little or no car knowledge is...

Agreed. Its a bit...well...sensible compared to everything else Lotus make. Series One Elises are very much a challenge. Are always more prone to oversteer rather than the understeer the Series Two gets but then you can drive the Series Two quicker without it trying to kill you.

Those who claim FWD is better than RWD simply haven't driven a RWD....mainly because they are 17 and most RWD stuff is waaaaay out of their insurance paying capabilities!

You should come to the Isle Of Man in March!

Well i've only driven the one V6 and that was basically a 15 minute blat. Cornering was amazingly flat and it was a pure head turner, but it didn't feel amazingly fast, but then again i think im too used to fast stuff from work. Only driven the one fast Meg and it was a 225 Cup with worn fronts...

So are you planning to get lowered onto the Ferry by crane come IOM?! It does look ridiculous....looks like you've just taken the rear springs out and forgotten to bolt the shocks back in!

I think the R26 is the best hot hatch out there for the money so if i was shopping for one with the money in place, i'd have one. Im just all about driving the best i can afford to own. I'd probably be able to upgrade to a Trophy but really, climbing out of the 10k zone isn't possible for me...

Keep the 182 Deb. I nearly chopped the Cup in for...errr...a Cup. Well the 197 but i weighed it up and for fun and affordability, my 172 wins everytime. Clare keeps saying she wants to get an R26 but for one she doesn't really use her 182 as Renaultsport intended (altho shes learning...hehe)...

Don't do a twin exit exhaust....doesn't look at all right hanging out the bottom of the bumper. Do a nice and tidy 3 inch rolled single exit cut into the bumper or stealth it.

I think we'd swamp a town with this many cars!

Who in their right mind will hand over 3 and a half grand without going to the house, checking out the car thoroughly and driving the thing? Set up a brand new email address if him having your email is what you are worried about. So many sceptics! You only get scammed if you are stupid...

Yeah whatever Terry....anyway is was only the one time...:o;) I really am quite lucky if im honest. I do love the job....i hate the politics and bullsh*t involved but just getting to drive the cars so much makes up for it all.

Well i was solely the valeter for Lotus @ Bell & Colvill but now im PDI technician AND valeter for Lotus so basically every new and used car we sell comes thru my hands. Its manageable at the moment with just the Elise and Exige variants being sold The Europa doesn't count as they don't sell...

So what kind of 'Scam' does everyone think this is then?

I very nearly signed up for a 197 Cup as well but the fuel economy....or lack of it, kinda put me off.
