It has been a while since I updated this thread! :eek:

We went over to the Nurburgring on 21st August for a few days. I managed to come off at Adenauer-Forst, which resulted in a bent shock, I was told by a local garage I could drive the car home but not go back on the 'Ring. I got about five laps in before this happened so it wasn't too bad. Even still, I had a superb time and fun was had by all!

As for "modifications" (term used loosely!!!), I have had a custom front number plate made up to fit the recess...

And as I was going to have a new front one, I decided to get a new rear one as the other one started peeling, etc...

I haven't got any major plans for the car but who knows what may happen in 2010 :)

It was about two years ago, I had my silver Turini's refurbished and painted anthracite. So it was about time I had them refurbished and painted again, but in gloss black...

Hopefully they'll be going on the car this weekend along with four new Continental Sport Contact tyres :)
 
So... what have I or what has the car been doing since June 2011. Well we went to the 'Ring in August...

So this year, we attended Castle Combe in April, which was VERY wet...

And we attended PPC's Mallory Park in May where unfortunately my car threw a tantrum and spilt its guts all over the track. This was the last photo taken and I added a little bit of text...

Over five years of owning it, I racked up 100k miles and took it on various track/event days... Castle Combe, Mallory Park and the Nurburgring. Not once has it let me down. It has done blimming well!

Anyway, I got a quote from a local garage (Renault specialist) and for a new clutch, gearbox, flywheel and starter motor, I'd already be looking at £2,500. So I said... right time to get a new car. I was looking at going old/mature/sensible but I still like my track days. So after hunting round and travelling hundreds of miles, I collected my new toy from Fareham (Near Portsmouth, Hampshire) this afternooon...
