2 different cars there Ross! 1st one was the 2007 vintage racing shed, which I then sold at the end of the season.
The white one is the 2010 vintage race car, which I bought late 2008 I think!

Ahh - I remember changing the springs on the white one at Brands in 2010, but Walshy was supervising, so I'm sure you were safe enough...
Good purchase Scott - S1's are where it's at, I reckon

Yes I think that was after I drifted Paddock on my opening lap and got called up by driving standards to be reminded that it wasn't a drifting competition, after Nitron, my sponsors made a slight boo boo with the geo!

Thanks folks looking forward to the emotional journey of owning another shed
I did have to give AndyG a promise that I would treat the car with the same love and respect that all his vehicles enjoy before I was allowed to buy it.

Everybody took the p*ss out of her, but the view that most drivers saw was of her exhaust pipes.

Tut - I would have taken N3 in a minute. I thought it was a great wee car and seemed to survive a hell of a lot of track miles. Definitely a good advert for the honda engines. Scuffers told me that he did 24 hour races on engines that had just been pulled out of a scrap yard

N3 had done a fair few endurance races to be fair, how many mad miles had she seen Tut?

Time to update your avatar, Scott. A bag of bolts should do it.

What series' are you looking at Scott?
In Scotland (SMRC Sports and Saloons) or Lotus based down south?
I keep trying to convince Foz to get his S1 K20 SC out and race it....

Not even put much though into it yet Adam. Poss SMRC if they allow engine changes? or maybe something down south with the likes of LOT. I would like to do something like the lotus 1000k race and definitely something at SPA at some point.
A lot depends of the regs of the series as a lot will not allow engine changes. LOT allow Honda but not SC.
