Till next time

Cheers mate, had a fastastic, I mean fantastic time!

Had no idea how much I still have to learn, and was seriously impressed with your driving skill.

Fantastic roads, never realised there was such a cool playground so close to home!

Gary now you know what a Lotus and SE are all about. Take it easy though and learn how the car handles and also remember just how light and powerful it is. Most importantly stay safe and have fun.

Noops, wouldnt mind taking my girl around the route we did, however I have the memory of a fish. How easy would it be to create a rough map?

Got to do it again!

Don't worry, I am sure Noopps will tell you I was driving Miss Daisy. I sh*t myself twice, both times the car went round the corner.

I was sooooooooooo slow in comparison.

try and keep confidence and talent in check mate.

Not too long ago that even the fair Noops went backwards off a road

He was unhurt and it was quite a funny story - not sure Mags thought so - but just goes to show you

Pleased you are enjoying it though

I don't think you were that slow ,anyhow that's not the point its the enjoyment and feedback from the car at any speed is what its about. The 160 unfortunately ended up with a sticking throttle after my four wheels off the ground moment , which then slowed me up some what. Found out today at Dans that the rear end hit the ground so hard it nipped the throttle cable and flattened the down pipes a the point where the under-tray sits . Sorted now

Did some of the route again this evening with my friend Russ. Fantastic

That was a real "Starsky and Hutch" moment you had, I shouted Holy sh*t so loud and came of the gas big time. You came down real hard from where I was sitting.

Good fun was had!
