A new Club racer owner in the border

the pics dont do the colour justice tbh, and no wonder given the weather! The one in MMC looks sweet!

The hethel test track logo on the seats though is apparently getting a fair bit of feedback/abuse through the dealer network back to the factory as it looks like a used condom - wan't something i thought of till it was pointed out.......bizarre.

Look forward to seeing that on track

I am glad you liked the colours. My first choice was storm grey, then orange, then Green.....

I never thought I get a baby sky blue car until seeing it in the showroom. The black paint looked soooo good on the blue, making it look aggresive. Should look good on tracks. Now, I am glad I found it in the showroom before buying another colour (which I was about to do). I rather like the intrior as well.

I've heard about thye used condom. Lotus should rename their track as the condom then!!!

As Andy says, it looks muuuuuuch better in real life.

How is the Atom? Do you track it?

It simply has to be a 6MT! I'd rather h&t myself rather than the F1 box to blip.

Its awesome - absolutely love it, but only got it mid-Nov so haven't had a chance to really stretch it let alone get it on a track yet.

The pace of it is just termendous - it really is as if the gear box is full of 2nd gears!

Will certainly be doing that in the New Year though

You should come and join our (SE's - see trackdays) jolly down to Donnington in March, and stretch the CR's legs

you fancy buying more clutches or something

I'd miss the satisfaction of the gear change, and h&t-ing myself, as opposed to the playstation-esk perfection of F1/e-gear.

And not to have the opportunity to guide the gear stick around that gate with the corresponding noise would be criminal

At least the F1/E Gear will be quicker on the tracks ....... and never misses a shift when working!

*Cough*, i'll be down at the inlaws (who live near kelso) for new years if you fancy bringing the 360 round - i don't mind just pootling about as a passenger
