I agree with a lot of the posts on here...

But BTW I have just noticed - S29ttc....

How many times have you posted since you joined??

That must be a record? Are you ever off the computer?

I'm younger than you - had 3 Elises and an Exige and you've posted 1/3 of the time I have in just over a month a half

The modifications do not take into account ooooo wait better not do that because if it snows I might not be great in the snow, no the enthausists do it because its better on track, car will handle better, give more fun, smiles exitement and thrills. I can see exactly why someone would buy a 2nd car and mod it not taking into account drivabilty in various weather conditions as they have a daily driver

2 main reasons for being trailer trash and 1 side reason

Main reasons are a nice selection of different tyres of varying degrees of illegal and ability to get myself and car home should i remove a corner.

the side reason is should someone else go pop or squish then they can borrow the trailer and towcar and get themselves home

That's rather thoughtful of you.

Not my experience Dom.

Ask John Stewart about my first runs with the Scoobys in '99 on the Tour d'Ecosse, just after I bought my car. Torrential rain and he put me in with the fastest group, Jools, Paul Marshall, Neil Scott, Rob Doyle.

Its a wonder I didn't kill myself, but no way was I going to be left behind. I was on P0's then, but nobody told me they were lethal in the wet. I then went onto Bridgestone SO2's which were much better.

Nowadays it is nearly always R tyres, but as long as they have good tread, I feel confident in the wet. With the proviso of course, dont put your foot down unless you are in a straight line, especially at roundabouts.

The S/C engine does help a lot though, as I can stay in 6th gear most of the time, 5th at roundabouts, so no big torque changes.
