Jenvey's, no PTP left in her. Nitrons, EP big bore exhaust, exige gearbox, exige brakes, full interior done in Alcantara by Maison Piotr in Paris plus loads more. I've asked Bauden to put her up for sale yesterday :'( Edit: My interior guys http://www.mp-sellerie.com/

Yes Dave's work is second to none and the engine has had zero problems in five years of thrashing around the Alps etc with the forged pistons etc. I bought it as a PTP170 which, with no modded internals was had 4 cracked pistons when Dave opened her up. I have had a lot of problems mind with the...

Royal Oak City of Sails (that breaks down yearly)

Oh my. That sounds bonkers, and a handful. Not easy to get many miles in one of those, especially if you're concerned about the engine. Definitely the most fun I've had is in a Caterham..one day. I had a go in the Ultima GTR world record holder 0-100-0 car and it was that day it dawned on me...

Kenny, I think you made a mistake :p That is stunning. I did some track work in a humble Roadsport and that was incredible in itself. What are the specs? And what's the new brit car! Tease! Edit: R500!?!

Ah lovely. I haven't driven an S2 cup yet, I hear it's amazing. The v6 does feel a bit different to the S1/S2 in handling terms, not better or worse just not the same. S1 engine went bang a week after I bought her so Dave took her in and did a fine job. She lives in the Alps now, with the...

Have you got a cup there? I really wanted that colour...loud as hell!

@kennyh Yes, Sport 380 And my S1 K Series DVAPower 200+bhp

@kennyh Kenny, I've got 2 Lotus' and another MX5 - they're somewhat cousins in spirit and I've noticed the same pattern among my owner friends too :)

V6? How about an LS3 V8? :eek: This Evo article on the same car / upgrades can explain better than I. The video is quite good, MX5 on track from 4:30. From the article; "The conversion itself consists of a bespoke Garrett GT25 turbo, a new stainless steel manifold and downpipe (a full exhaust...

Bought this silly thing today. Only had a short test drive around Goodwood area but lairy as anything, popping on the overrun but with some creature comforts. Have had to put my MK1 up for sale to make room but it seems more similar in spirit than I had imagined...

Aha yes, I had the same model, then the first supercharged S2, both in yellow. Also had the NA VX220 which was my first 'proper' sports car. They weren't made very well and the bodywork would start bubbling. That said my GTR had a complete respray under warranty when it was 1 years old as it was...

Ouch! I came off my other bike at 15mph and that had me hobbling for a few months, can't imagine (and don't want to see!) what a 100mph spill would do to a human being.

Lovely shot! No worries with the critique, I really welcome it :) I did my Bikesafe course just after this trip and my instructor really got me approaching the lines much better, wider and sticking to my positions 1/2/3 depending on the corner. Looking back at the video is quite good because I...
