Rain-X is your friend. Motorcycle places and Demon Tweeks type places sell it, makes seeing through visors, goggles and windscreens much easier in the rain.

Congrats to you both BTW - sold me Elise this week too, so it's celebrations all round

ermmmmm........

Need to speak to Darren about getting it to his workshop, and then book some time off to really break the back of the project.

I'm also having thoughts about replacing the V8 with a turbo'd V6, which will take time to source and recondition......

See you on track in 2009.......

Rubbish! Drive up friday night, travel lodge with the other overnighters and drive back after the track day. It 3hrs each way tops.

And as Chilled says, anyone with a new track toy must attend. It is the law.

Jo, come to Donington in November!
That looks

And yes you should go to Donnington on the 11th Nov - then stay over for beers afterwards!

That's my plan!

Talking about wterproof baby grows - you can get them from Demon Tweeks - I've got a really subtle Black and Dayglow yellow one from my karting days!!!

Cossie turbo is from the old school.

1970's designed Iron 4 pot + big dustbin lid turbo = All or nothing power delivery.

Modern V6 + Light pressure turbo = Progressive and smooth power delivery.
