I got a DS for my eldest girl for her 6th birthday 2 months ago. I bought the pony game and she absolutely loves it. Also bought the Shrek one for her as says age 3+ on the game but she never plays it. My 8 year old niece also finds this one hard so best to avoid (if Shrek can be counted as animal r...

Well that’s me popped my trackday cherry!! ........ I was the grey S2 moving chicane. In case anyone thought they were passing Kev a lot, I was out there too in a grey S2 for my first track day and also felt like a moving chicane at times, especially early on when really wet. Hope I didn't hold a...

Wondered what important document I was getting that required 14 stamps on the jiffy bag :!: Then spotted the wee motif in the corner of the label.

Looks great. Thanks to Karen and Simon and anyone else involved.

Someone tell me this isnt right. :?
Afraid it sounds about right to me. As a very rough guide , track day insurance will cost you about 1% of the value of your Elise with the excess about 10%

Pete I would suggest getting your brakes bled first if you don't know when this was last done. I got mine done on Friday as also didn't feel my brakes were that great. Some people do it themselves but it only cost me about £30 all in, including fluid for a garage to do it and I can't believe the dif...

Likewise, i've taken my 6 year old out in mine with the little sit-on booster type seat and it fitted fine. Haven't tried a full booster seat with the back on it for our youngest.

Mileage limit is low at 3000 p.a. CCI could still beat my renewal for 5000 miles but I only managed about 1500 miles last year mainly due to a back injury flooring me for about 4 months Hope to do a lot more miles this year, back permitting, but it's a 3rd car, I travel to work by train, young famil...

This is for social, domestic and pleasure including commuting to and from main place of work.

Unlucky Jon. My quote is based on it being garaged overnight.

Competition Car Insurance

Renewal didn’t seem too bad at £440 from Bell but was keen to get some track day cover. Going with Steve Hallam at Competition Car Insurance who has got me a year for £360 which includes 4 track days cover. Unlike renewal, this is on a restricted mileage which I can increase if I am going to excee...
