Re: UK Sports Cars NL

May well try out Zandvoort, but first i want to book a Walshy day :drive
240BHP isn't exactly what I'm used to drive on a daily basis :roll:

I noticed a day training is just 220 pounds that seems to be very good value for money :thumbsup

Re: Hotel/B&B in Edinburgh centre with secure parking???

Cheers for the suggestions guys, at least I've got a nice selection of hotels now to choose from. It's always better to use the knowledge of local people or people who stayed there before, instead of looking at Tripadvisor Yes Tut, it's Martin's car, he's a really nice guy and his S240 is the perfec...

Re: carnoustie sportscars anybody

It could well be an Elise S. In s2 guise, most people associate the 156bhp engine with the 111S model. However, I have the 111 model which is also VVC. The 'S' after 111 denoted luxury trim level (carpets, driving lights, leather, etc.) - it's the '111' bit that indicates the engine type. It's my u...
