Not sure if your reference to petty is in relation to the football focus riposte or the original remark ref. 'edition'.

If the latter, the remark was aimed primarily at tut (good to see you involved here, mate) and Robin, the two that are normally very quick to pick up on anything spelling or grammar related like this. Andy, being a good friend of mine, will not give two flying chutneys about the remark, but I'm sure he'll appreciate you puffing out your chest on his behalf.

That's one of the other good things about Scottish_Elises, no chance of your brain getting addled on here.

However Greg, Robin, et al, you will have to start giving me some leeway, as not sure that the brain is as sharp as it used to be. Never had to edit so much.

haha hardly puffing out my chest, was only commenting as everyone else had complimented andy.

i know that you dont talk like that face to face so why start now?

Think you should stop being so defensive over something so trivial.

I nearly did! But I was so excitedly distracted by Andy edding sorry adding another classic to his fleet that I never got round to it ;-)

Don't be silly, where the hell would they find 15 citizens North of the Border that were not only sober, but could both read AND write.

Wish i knew mate - all i've had time to do is drive it back from SLS to my house - all of 7 miles or so, in traffic! (just dodged the rain!)

It does seem to have a bit of life in it though :thumbsup

As Shug elluded to, I bonded with it at the first junction :damnfunny Sideways :thumbsup

Love it Andy, after paxing in Craig's around Le Mans i was mighty impressed although Craig's just needed a little more power :damnfunny :wink:

So why the 340r over a Atom or Catherham, not sure which i would have tbh but seeing as you have drifted all 3....pros and cons??

Oh and Frolics is really not going to be the same this year, "340R - Trackday and FF9 spec" What happened to never leave a shed behind!!!! :thumbsup

Well, I thought about a Caterham, but i'm really lucky to get offered an R400 whenever i want due to my insane mate :wink:

Atom - not going to buy another one till they fix the problems with the current one - love it, done it, and really hard core. Will always a soft spot for them.

340R - loved Scottys various versions, have always loved Pauls, SP's, Craigs after my shot on FF8 and when the chance came to get one at what i think is pretty much as low as they will go, i thought "why not :thumbsup ".

The fezza is totally gash at KH, and as much as i enjoy driving it, I'm never going to be too relaxed putting it sideways at 90+.

As for FF9 and never leave a shed behind - its a K powered Lotus - and merely a HGF from being a shed at any time :wink: And i would never leave a shed behind :damnfunny

Specifically for FF9 the chance to have another blast as good as FF7 in the Atom was one of the main selling points for me. Running through France clearing the outside lane, shorts, t-shirt, oakleys and Shures in, going from track to track, hotel to hotel, was one of the best feelings I have had motoring ever - just made all the work feel so worthwhile :cheers
