Alternative to '6 for track days

[Spitelli]

I think we've wandered off topic a bit...

I've pretty much decided it's going to be an Elise anyway. Or VX220 if I can find one. Will try to drive an MR2, too.

Or what about a 350Z?

350Z's sound faster than they go and are quite heavy as nicely refined.

I'll give you 7k for it.

I'll give you 7k for it.

It's still really refined and a real sleeper on the road with the exception of a few choice carbon bits like the T-bars and the air intakes for example. I hate all those nasty body kits you can get... Natural lines work just fine for me, although I do like the TOMs kit.

Wait untill you see the inside, Ben. My new F1 stack dash is the sh1t! Monitors over 100 different parameters and every sensor or solenoid you can think of in real time.

I was thinking of selling it a month or so ago but….. I don’t think I could bring myself to do it, given all the design, time, engineering and money I have spent. It’s a proper rocket, most people scream when I take them out and it has a habit of knocking people over just from driving past (no need to physically touch them) It sounds like a dragon spitting flames!

Congrats on the successful sprog drop. I have a witnessed deal that I made with madam. She absolutely cannot stand vomit but I have no problems with it. However, I have zero interest in dirty nappies so I will be dealing with all the puke and she will be dealing with all the nappy changes. Witnessed or not, I don't see her sticking to her side of the deal......

Funny... Dirty nappies doesn't bother me but I get right fucked off when I get puked on.

My boy is now a week old, I too now share this view. I've got the nappy change down to a perfect science, it's a pitstop.
Vomit is unpredictable, it's a bad day from there on. I'm set on inventing a head nappy.

Congrats to you and lady Bam dude

A head nappy huh... pretty good

Let me know if you decide you want it to go to a good home.

The gauge in the boot looks fairly similar to a Fuelab FPR I used to run in fluffy but not quite. I am actually scratching my head over some of the things in the boot, love it! Needs to be black though

I wanted black originally but had the urge to put black wheels on a red car 5 years ago. Back then it wasn't so common and a couple of years later they became the standard 'Time Attack' colours..

Thanks for your comments Mr F

Fook me, came back to this thread after a few days and my goodness how it has travelled...

Engineering in that MR2 looks awesome. Fair play, as thats some investment made.

Congratulations Bam on the young'un. Our daughter is 6 months old now, fantastic experience. Took a picture for someone else with a 6 expecting a kid, to see how the practical family diesel 635d fares:

Bike engine'd cars spend more time in the pits on jacks with people scratching their heads than actually driving.

Yeah, I originally ruled them out because of the amount of servicing required... but I still want to have a go in one.

I know a chap who has a MK Indy Blade and he hasn't had anything go wrong. Only problem is going out in the wet its almost impossible to drive in a straight line.

I've owned a Fireblade for the last 13 years and it has never broken down except when i ran out of petrol

Was that a car or bike?
The problems come down to a bike engine designed for a couple hundred kilos being installed to deal with 400-500kgs plus.
Also depends a lot on the quality of the installation.
