You will mate. 
Not sure if there's still a meet on Sunday, and doubly not sure if taking a car I've had for one day is a good idea either! I may attend WBT5 though, as I get on well with the guys. Hope to meet you at some point.

Or maybe he'll think he was going to the Peaks/Penines instead
We had an Elise 111S come on last years NE/Jock meet and it was only the second time he'd driven the car.

i dont know,
in all one leather rompa suit?!!!!
trouble is, if you go that route anycar is slow afterwards....
but acutally you are so much more aware of everything around you on a bike you are far more likely to notice speed traps/unmarked cars etc

I spend the majority of my time in a Saab 9000 these days, I dread to think what you'd consider that said about me if you saw me.......

Sounds like a braver man than me. Although I did take up the GAP insurance, so if the worst happens I'll still get

Not been on here for a while but saw the number of posts and thought it would be a good time to try and remember my password. Firstly can I say that I couldn't give a monkeys if I get overtaken by some chav in a Corsa whilst crusing along getting a suntan in my S as the only time I like to boot it is when I'm on quiet twisties and the only person I can injure at speed is myself.Secondly it seems that some people have forgotton why they bought the car in the first place, for me it was the hugh grin I got when first v-teccing, not what its top speed was or how fast I got there.
Thirdly (and finally) congratulations and good luck to all those people who have a faster and 'better' car than me, I hope your very happy because I certainly am.
Just my two penith!!!.

I've just been out in my S2000 for a quick blat, I suggest you all do the same and remind yourself how good a road car it really is.
So have I...It is a brilliant and unique machine!
