I'm really bad for entering competitons (esp. the optimax one) and becoming obsessed with what I'll do "when" i win the money / cars.

For what its worth i "reaslistic" money cars I fancy (in no particular order)
- Alfa SZ
- NSX
- Ferrari 550 / 456

.....with possbilty a Zonda and F1 thrown in there.

In saying all the the VX is the first car i've ever had thats made me question the logic of changing it. :)
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Yeah that's him - used to have the 1000 bhp hyper lemon Skyline, Ron Dennis' old 911 turbo, lambo, fezza, loadsa bikes etc. before you ask - I get to drive none of them :cry: He only lets his mechanic and him drive em, best I've done is pressed the fast pedal when the engine was on.

/shameless self-plug .. I was in the 'liner when it did a 10.81 on the 1/4 mile at crail :D

Shame, had a go in my m8’s 911, that’s as exotic as I’ve driven!

I don't but I know of him, being a computer programmer in Dundee!
IIRC, he now owns Realtime Worlds in Dundee, which is where Ben (bennicus) works.

I knew Dave a few years ago as he did most KH trackdays. He mostly used a black Porsche GT2 then, and I was probably one of the few cars that could lap with him.

If anybody sees him, he will probably remember N1 TUT. I knew he was well off due to his car collection, and I believe he wrote "Lemings".

ps that is a rare picture of my car with the top on, one of the first that I have ever seen.

Hotel in Louth IIRC (day before Cadwell). To be fair it had been on overnight and you hadn't yet taken it off. :)
(and it was a bit frosty)

Cheers,
