Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

This is a good idea, lets do it - I am excited to get my car back and it would be good to see what it can do on the track.

BQ- £50 for who can do the fastest lap?

Important corporate lunch.

Mines a lardarse but I would be bang up for spectating/making the bacon baps

Cheers lynx, but car is sold, and brother said he prefers the MK3, =/

^ If it needs a new home....

I'm in if we can wait for my new car? This lap has corners, right?

Yes!

Good purchase.

Ha. Yeah - no airfield circuits.

I am also a fan of corners:

I think I should be able to get between them quite rapidly, also.

Awaits Danstuff

My mate with the alfa, another bloke with an e30 and sarah's bro (in her dad's tr) are sorting out a couple for the late summer. if you guys are interested, pm me and i will put you in on the email round.

my engine goes in this weekend!!!

i think the porsche will spank your bottom, unless you are a secret former le mans driver, or you have secretly spent 20k setting up your suspension like one of those^^^ touring cars.

Be fun finding out, the Volvo has much bigger brake and 30% more power than the Boxster, but is of course a family estate car (albeit with Koni yellow struts, for what they're worth, in the front).

it will be down to driver teste measurements, i reckon.

as you say, fun to watch

In a perfect world, the Boxster would beat the Volvo, I think, but given it's BQ's new baby, and Dammit clearly doesn't care about the exterior of his car, I think it could be close enough.

I reckon it'll come down to grip, and that Boxster probably has bigger boots than my car.

I might be able to do something about that though.

I'm in. The whole point of buying this new car is sacking off spending money on upgrading and just spending the money on track days. I just need to sell mine first!!

/fits towing eye/

is yours fucked, NH?

"Dammit clearly doesn't care about the exterior of his car"

you polished it??

It works right now, bar a couple of issues, so I'm trying to sell it on before something breaks again.

I want in on this track day shit.
Will have to wait for the R though, as the scirocco is shit.

Will the car need anything such as a towing loop/eye for a track day, or is it simply turn up and run?

You are supposed to have an eye or strap front and back, but I only ever had one on the Mini.
