It is indeed. Just to update, the track day at Cadwell was great and the car never missed a beat and coped much better than I had dared to expect.

I'm not entirely sure what it was as only the camera picked it up. It was mounted on one of the rear headrests so probably something connected to the rear seat?

Well done! I love Cadwell, but I don't think that would have been my first choice of car to take round, especially as it was obviously a bit greasy.

'55 plate VW Polo. happy enough with it, got a good deal 3 years ago & haven't had any problems with it since

Those grass patches around make it look like you and your neighbour really need those muddy 4x4s.
You can never be too careful, but to be respectful to the environment and others in their Eco boxes, I mainly use the V8 Range Rover for the school run...Those grass patches around make it look like you and your neighbour really need those muddy 4x4s.
Just bought this to relieve the 'perfectness' of my 520d.
This is my new toy - yet to test - but makes all the right noises in my garage
thats nice one! will you be competing in it or just for track days at knockhill?This is my new toy - yet to test - but makes all the right noises in my garage
I don't drive anything exciting these days but this used to be fun
Cheers,
I suspect I'll not be permitted to take it out on a normal track day due to "open wheels" but I'll be doing as many Hillclimbs and Sprints as time (and funds) permit.
With "only" 600bhp/ton and a fairly average driver, it'll not worry the big boys, but should be a bit of fun and quicker than last season's one which is taking a year off
(mine's the one on the right)
Owned this a few years ago. Sold it for £895 so you might guess it was a long time ago. The present owner didn't buy it from me but he inherited it from his dad who bought it in 1972

It's almost 19 years old now, some non-vital plastic parts have broken, the paintwork is scratched and dull and this winter it got a refurbished engine. VW T4 5-cilinder diesel. Hardly 80 hp. Not fast but it gets you almost anywhere carrying five people plus a ton of stuff.
Of course its primary purpose is to transport this:
No need for a circuit and no traffic jams.

BMW M5, the last of its type with a manual box. Here at Oulton Park. Have owned it 13 years from new. love it!
And for blasting across Europe, 1967 Sunbeam Tiger with small block ford V8, tuned with nearly 400 bhp at the flywheel, it's fun to keep it in a straight line - Pic from the local carwash :)
Off to the Spa Classic and Nurburgring in it in May :')
If you like 'roadgrime' here's the M5 at a track day at Elvington, York.
Detroyed a set of tyres that day :(

This was one of mine a few years ago, yes it is the V8 version.
Currently have an Audi A6 SLine company hack and just replaced the wife's 987 Boxster S with an Audi A4 SLine to accommodate the impending new arrival.

Jaguar XKR. I've had this for four years and I've no plans to change it, even though running it doesn't make financial sense - 13 MPG!

Nothing too special in the 4-wheel dept (Audi Cab still being fettled, MX-5 on loan to a pal, Honda 'Dog-mobile' doing daily beach-runs) but the latest road-toy has arrived - and is getting more of a look-in than the Blackbird at the mo, given the state of the roads around here:
Great fun around the lanes it is too: did 300 miles on Friday courtesy of the muffs:

Getting wet and dirty at Silverstone in November, if I took a picture today I think I'd crack the camera it's so grimy
You sold the smart Mike?
Smart car (#3) was on lease hire. It went back to Mercedes Finance after 3 years. Replaced it with the 911. Big :-), but still miss a Smart car.
