Re: Car dilema - 430 replacement
Lol - had one of these at my trackday too. (in case you haven't realised yet, I am the 'poor' friend !


I went out in a pax in it and it is such a heavy car. You really feel the weight of it at the dip before the chicane. Guessing by looking at GT3s you might make the odd venture out on track in whatever you buy. This didn't feel at home at all on the track. He wasn't driving it particularly hard but after an hour his tyres were like mush!
Although Mark is right. Knowing what he paid for this, that one for sale is cheap.

Re: Car dilema - 430 replacement
In which case I think you should enter it in the Bo'nessHillclimb :
http://www.bonesshillclimb.org.uk/2010-event.html
In fact you could double-enter with McKeann, since it's practically in his back yard and I am sure he knows the lanes really well so the new car will be in very safe hands

Have you bought the best sports car in the world? 

Re: Car dilema - 430 replacement
The bo'ness hillclimb is for classic cars unfortunately, or i would have entered it previously.
