Guys,

Is anyone planning a Euro jaunt anytime soon, do people want to go find the Audi factory, the Nurburgring or Stelvio Pass? Just thinking that I need to take the car somewhere at some point?

Excellent, thanks Paul - so you are in the Exige so I have to decide on the Elise or RS - most people taking Audis? This is Spa-Francorchamps, think I'll do the 1 day and then spectate maybe, I was looking for a longer trip as I have to travel down from Anglesey - let me just go race the track on F1 2012 and I'll see!

I think I'd prefer the Audi but now I've just sorted the cooling on the Lotus I'm not so sure. It's the drive there that's going to wreck me in the Elise, it's pre-Probax seats :(

What are doing with the seats because I am looking as long as they don't have 'Exige' all over them!

No worries, I'll continue the hunt - looking at getting the wheels blacked and the petrol cap, maybe some decals... the seats are just a killer, they really are - and my wife, being a chiropractor refuses to get in it but, then again, she has a mk3.5 MX-5 which is just so comfortable!
