Ah, gotcha. I guessed it was the strut brace and know they're of little use, but it was the 'leany' bit I didn't get. All clear now though, thanks.....

I have never been a fan of the orange S2000's.

Until now.

That orange one looks amazing in the shot where you can see the hardtop. I think they look gold in some light but in the light in that particular image I am really stunned by how good it looks.

Hopefully should have some shots to come from tomorrow. I don't know if the last event pics were posted up. Curborough is a great circuit, very technical for a short course.

I've never thought of doing this. After a brief read I reaslise there are a few places near me. This looks like a lot of fun and a potential new hobby. Cheers!

Does look good in metallic ginger in some lights, I'm actually quite a fan. :/

Up-date on yesterday's sprint at Curborough,

We ended up with 3 S2000's turning up to attend the sprint, Myself, Michael Thomson and Mike Hawley,

Michael Thomson and myself did our first sprint a few weeks ago where Mike came away with 3rd in group, so this being our 2nd we were still a bit nervous, In the end we had a great day with Michael Thomson picking up 2nd in class just ahead of mike Hawley, there was little chance of catching the time set by the winner Bob Ridge-Stearn in his super fast Lotus but we forgave him on learning that he is also an S2000 owner he also has a blog on his hill climbing and S2000 exploits aptly called beam breaking, https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...04819420,d.d2s Had to get Ron to take the track pics with my camera as i could be in two place's at once,, All fired up for next season now when me and Mike will be entering the Curborough championship hopefully along with about 4 other S2000's,










And the winner in our group Bob Ridge-Stearn in his superb Lotus

He did very well, broke the HSA single lap class record for Curborough and the all time class record for a single lap at Curborough with a 35.78
