One off track cover tends to work out at about 1% of the cars value per day so quite a bit more than £90campbell wrote:You're a star.neil wrote:.
Have you tried Henderson Taylor for your insurance? I've just renewed with them and with their new underwriter you get unlimited UK and European trackdays, plus they were far cheaper than I was quoted elsewhere.
HT "quoted me happy" today for full business cover, Lisa and me to drive, 9000 miles pa, and 6 Euro track days.
CCI have all but given up.
Any idea of one-off track day premium costs? Unless it's £90 per track, I think they've got a deal.

Pirelli rears in MO1 looks cheaper at £143 each though.

Winter wise since we are talking about it I was £730 for the full set

I,ve been running all sorts of sales pitches to the other half to get back in a Lotus last weeks desperate attempt was a £4000 Elan was instantly dismissed but apparently an Evora is going to be on the cards at some point. Think it was Keith's we passed last week and a big woooaah was given with a yes were getting on of them.

Re: Evoranomics
Slightly cheaper at Camskill, £124.95 for Fronts and £186.90 for rear AD08r's. I was thinking of getting them for Frolic, way more tread depth than the 888's etc.campbell wrote:Holy cowBigD wrote:225/40/18 fronts are £130 each and 255/35/19 rears are £230 each. All AD08's from Pneus.

Looks fantastic, the Evora really suits grown up colours, don't think I've seen another that colour. Congrats

Re: Evoranomics
I'm a big fan of winters on a daily drive... but given I've got the back-up Landcruiser for the proper snowy days, I left the summers on the Evora and it's only stepped out once, when provoked.
It's surprisingly competent even at -5 on the summers it seems!
50p says I spin it tomorrow now obviously!

Re: Evoranomics
Campbell, the man maths manual states that because you've just spent so much money, then what's another £xxxx for a set of ebay wheels ? You can trivialise the figure for the wheels by comparing it directly to the cost of the car.campbell wrote:I've spent quite enough already!Jeremy wrote:
Could maybe do with some gunmetal coloured wheels ? Would set it off to a tee I think.
Or, just go for a £200 powedercoat job.
