Re: Ownership Experience - Audi TT/Mini Cooper S

I had an r53 cooper S chilli pack a number of years ago and I'd put it as the best handling/fun car I've had other than the exige. It was a total banzai little car so adjustable with a lovely balance. Mine had a limited slip diff too which was an expensive option new and rarely taken so hard to find...

Re: Elise hire

Seriously though, I was humming and hawing over either an E92 M3, M4 or an RS4. Accidentally went to Murrays whilst taking time out to decide whether or not to sign on the dotted line for the RS4, Brandon took me out in an exige for 15min, never went back to Audi or BMW. Had my S2 Exige 2 weeks late...

Re: Elise hire

If your thinking about one and haven't driven one yet, get a test drive. You'll not need a week. 20 minutes usually does it. ;-)

Re: Walshy Day...

So, many thanks to Andy for a great wee day, we were delayed for 45 minutes in the morning while they swept the track but Andy worked through his lunch fuelled only by an apple and some water to give us as much time as he could and to make up for the lost time in the morning. Much credit to the boy'...

Re: Komotec Sequential Gearbox

id love a sequential dog box with straight cut gears... just makes a car sound like it shouldn't be allowed on the road. savage. do they not need quite regular rebuilds to keep the dog rings in good shape, i.e. horrifically expensive to maintain?
