I am going off with my Winchester mates to Wales again next Spring with my brother this time. We are intending to 'keep up the Italian end' so are refusing to go in the Landrovers instead buying ourselves something to basically smash up.

I found this, and am considering jacking it up, anyone got any experience of them its dirt cheap and almost too nice to trash.

Will it break easy on the heavy stuff?

Could be interesting but nothing to do with Masers I expect

If you get it out of second gear! :D

I did manage to get it out of second but in reality it was too fast for the circuit (and possibly me!). You certainly couldn't get it anywhere near the red line. The torque surprised me but it was a bit twitchy and you need more than 4 laps to get used to it. The car's reactions were so immediate that every tiny input produced a bigger reaction than you expect. I actually enjoyed the Ginetta more - it was just so 'old school'.

Pretty pleased with my standard of driving as well.

Yep well done Dave and as you say some cars are just too fast for certain circuits. We found that today with the Noble at Abingdon, I hope it's not the same for Llandow.

He made himself at home within 5 mins and has used the litter tray straight away which is always a good start....

Good morning all....have a great weekend.

A lovely view, Dave.
Now the first thing I thought when I saw that kitten pic was that it looks like Tom Hiddlestone, so calling it Loki rocks!

Well, I'm just back at my hotel from watching sunrise while swimming in the Med. I also did a bit of watching the lovely fish swimming around the reef.

Now to finish packing, head back to Madrid and then head home... For a whole week!!!
