A few reasons TBH, but the main one being needing the money the now to do renovation work to my on going house project :roll: . That along with the fact i am not doing Frolics this year, well next year :(

Surprised kenny hasn't been on to introduce himself and his new car.

Probably waiting until he can get it clean and take some pics- it looks, erm, well used at moment!

It's a great car Mike, a credit to you (although I've never actually seen it in the daylight yet ;))

I'm looking forward to getting a shot when the snow goes :thumbsup

Mike, I saw the car yesterday on the M90 after lunch heading North, numberplate in windscreen!

I also saw an isotope Exige or Elise about 1pm on the M90 as well. Karen or Benny.

New car is here again! :mrgreen:

Not quite as planned once again with the Rallye idea, think that may have been a case of rose tinted specs TBH (Not saying it was a bad car by any means). So next up was back to a S3. Very capable road car but i have the Fabia for that, but not really suited to track work. Again been there done that :lol: :lol:

Anyway bought a UK DC2Image

Image

Only picked it up on Sunday from Aberdeen so not really had a chance for a proper drive yet but initial thoughts are very impressive! Doesn't feel far off Elise pace in a straight line but i am sure some of that is down to the nature of the V-tec engine. Cornering!!! Wow!!!, and that's only playing on wet roundabouts! So much grip and the LSD really is amazing bit of kit hooking you into the corners :twisted:

Can't wait to get it on track :cheers

Stick a S/C on it Mike and you will have a heavier N3.
