You could get one each

Nice to hear that a spin with Mike brought a smile to you face.

Mikes car can be a tad LOUD - & he has the fastest colour, so lots of reason to be impressed.

Cool day at Gaydon wasn't it. I was in the Nurb Blue one.

Incidentally, just after your first S2000 experience I witnessed a large group of fogeys bleating to the security that someone needs to go out to enforce the on site 15 mph limit as "somebody" just passed them at 70mph on the carpark.

Possibly the first recorded instance of an HKS dislodging false teeth.

Nice one Mike.

Glad you enjoyed the ride mate. I wasn't really going that fast come on! A bit reckless maybe, but the HKS just seems to have that effect.

Good ride home too. Gave a 600cc bike a run for its money through Milton Keynes. He managed to get by finally but he struggled more than I think he expected. He gave me a and a afterwards. Top stuff.

Well thats a very mature attitude isnt it?

Do you have kids? Imagine if one of them had been crossing the car park that was round the blind bend at the top of that hill.
