Good going Trev. I drive hard most of the time, sedate the rest of the time, and 100% flat out on track...my PE2s lasted not far off 20K as well. It's not how fast you go...but how you drive that matters ;)

I can't declare my no claims entitlement on two seperate policies, right? So I need to insure one of my cars with 0% no claims discount? Are there any companies you know of that give good cover for two cars? Or do I take it up the *** and pay through the nose for one of them?

Or, you could say that you get what you pay for quality wise. I bought mine from Yozzasport, because it will outlast both the car and me.

That's rapid. Takes me about 16 to reach 100.

I hear it but don't see it. Can you mail it to me Clarkie?

Looks nice. I'll be calling you soon Ady, need to sort my Cup, and maybe the Omega too. I'll probably just let that rot though.

Surely if someone fell or sat on it the dent would be wider? To me, that's a hard impact in a small place...the natural centre-line crease in the bonnet would have made it even harder to dent like that. Someone's kicked it or hit it with something I think. w*****s.

Oops! Sorry Chris ;)

Nutter!

You may find after a while it seems like you've got no brakes at all when bedding them in. I had that when I put my current set of Blues in, but they've been fine ever since. More info here.

Ha ha ha

Seating position sucks. Lack of road presence frustrates at times. Can't think of anything else that wouldn't be expected from a French city car with a big engine in it.

Nice...I would have killed for a car that quick when I started. I had to make do with a 1.1L Fiesta - G reg, awful.

Running costs can be light if you want them to be. I'm only partly into my 3rd set of discs at 92k, I'm on my 3rd set of front pads, and still on the original rears. That's including changing when not due from upgrading, and all the track use too. Brake less ;) Mark

Didn't come out apparently. The camera shifted and got a 1:04 close up of your right arm.

Hi Matt Welcome to the forum. Right, fuel tank is 50 litres. Most manage to get 35-40mpg out of them. Some as low as late twenties (lots of town driving) and some as high as mid forties (lots of long trips and motorway use). There are points to note aplenty - someone should be able to...

I'd like to watch you park after doing that.

Absolutely not. I bought it because I had a trackday voucher, and Evo said of their long-term Cup, "it can be driven home afterwards with no signs of abuse".

The best colour Mk1 by far.

Shame to see another one go. Nice replacement though.

Yes and yes.

Hooligan.

Why's that?

Tucks grew some balls at the end of the day and took it round for a gentle spanking. Amazingly, no spannering needed afterwards.

I went out with him - it didn't really feel that quick, but he certainly wasn't afraid of it - and the stopwatch doesn't lie. Mad - and all with only 73bhp too.

Split the sidewall apart, 3 inch gash.

This one? Had a bit of a blow-out. Great pic Chris by the way. Did you ask them all to look down at the exact same time?

I cannot find the words to describe how vile that is.

I chased one around Goodwood. He had me on the straights and I had nothing on him in the corners, but we was very weak on the brakes. Video here... Properly driven Elises, regardless of engine size, I have huge trouble keeping up with on track.

Fantastic pics Chris - the detail you capture at distance when at speed is incredible. I'm liking that cone pic (stupid face aside). Is my front wheel off the deck? Looks like it to me.
