I'm not that lucky, that would be the best reason to start planning about the stroker kit 4.2L and upgrading the gearbox Will still be an underutilised money pit though.

Didn't fancy cutting up your brake fluid and battery surrounds I take it?

If i wanted a sweet commuter, you'd be hard pressed to beat a £6-7K boxster. Ridiculous value if you don't need load space.

I know, mate! It's just really not my sort of thing, not even a V8 one would be really. Mr and Dan are obviously the main naysayers at this party! If you want to give me a slap, you'll have to come over the other side of the hill from Lakez, I'm sure one or two of the guests will be able to enlighten you

Fixed that for you. (With apologies to Jay )

It's no worse than the X1

No V8? So whats making up for the fact you're sitting on the wrong side?

If you are short on time, I haven't found anything thats anywhere near as good for a single wipe on/wipe off application.

Yes. But no. Obviously if they had made the GTV rear wheel drive you wouldn't have to ask this question.

Time has arguably be kindest on the M6 out of all the Bangle-era BMWs. Those black wheels look preposterously cheap on it though.

I guess you haven't be cool for some time then?

Good luck Andy, she's served you well!

Happy Birthday Daz, I assume you must be purple with drink by now

Keyfob battery might be flat.

Happy Birthday marra!

A C4S or turbo would be the ideal car for me.... ...... Four wheel drive and a roof rack for the bikes!

I think they've aged quite well, and what price a screaming naturally aspirated V8? I would imagine the usual rules apply - it was an expensive, and heavy, car new, and maintenance will still be consummate with that even if its now twenty-odd thousand sheets second hand.

Sweet! Nice one Chris, good clour combo. I think it needs the lettering put back on the rear though, looks odd without...

No Dave, it's not. But I was only referring to the fact that all infrastructure is paid for out of general taxation, and most drivers and cyclists have jobs, therefore entitling them to use the roads. I Don't know why such focus is given to the mode of transport of arseholes, as obviously, their common feature is being an idiot, not their method of getting about.

I can't believe this old chestnut still gets trotted out in 2014.

Probably the best choice there. Just keep the straps and bumper clean cos it's haze the paint up something awful.

I think the real question is are you ever going to do anything with yours!

Time rich FTW! I'll be devastated if I ever have to leave my current job. You really have to make sure you've got some hobbies though, as I've sometime been prone to bouts of procrastination and it really is the thief of time!

Sorry, yes, I meant Blyton has a laid surface! Absolutely agree with this, but when I get insurance it's not because I'm worried about myself, it's to protect my pride and joy from someone else being an idiot. That's where the real risk lies IMHO, in someone else driving like a tit and hitting you. Yeah, it just depends on what amount of risk you find acceptible. Having said that, the main potential incident at my first trackday was an Evo coming up my left hand side into a 90 degree left hander when he had zero chance of getting past due to the lateness of his maneuver! Thankfully I'd seen it coming in my mirrors, but it was literally down to me to brake enough to let him past and not T-bone me as I turned in.

I did my first one with MSV on a novice day, really enjoyed it. You won't be solidly lapping all day on your first one as the adrenaline gets a bit much and you'll have to rest plenty cos you'll be knackered! Elvington is based on an old airfield, but the track is properly laid tarmac so you'll just get "normal" wear. First days wear on track will be very minimal, drifting of course a lot more. I didn't get insurance, as long as you drive defensively, and be aware of whats happening around you, there's very little chance of hitting anyone else. The main risks come from not listening to the car and overcooking a corner due to overheating tires/brakes or being ham-fisted. Open pit lane days are fine for a first one, most organisers have bookable circuit tuition and it's rare that everyone is out at the same time, and by the time you throw in a few black flags an lunch, you'll get a few breaks!
