Re: Stone me now F40 v 959 I've have the F40
I remember that test too. I was lucky to have a ride in an F40 just a few years back. It was shockingly fast (wheelspin in 3rd on a dry road), even by modern standards. What must they have felt like compared to the period ‘normal cars’? The 959 is an interesting one, coming across as more refined an...

Re: 1975 Carrera 2.7 MFI
That’s a great car and some stunning photos. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the experience.
As Mike says, I vividly remember my first decent drive of an MFI car, the ex-Girolex RS in which Tony Dron had recently won the PCGB Championship

Re: What’s the worst car you’ve ever owned?
Peugeot 406 estate. A poorly made, uncomfortable place to wait for the RAC. W My dad had an HDi from new. Boring old bus but unbelievably economical - he once managed 1,000 miles on a tankful. When he upgraded he passed it to me for a pittance, as we needed a family wagon with more luggage space th...

Re: Show me your stance! - Advice needed
Your car is one of those which inspired my project. When sorting my 3.0SC for ‘fast road’ and trackday use, Tuthill advised me standard SC brakes should be fine on a lightened car if in good fettle and with decent pads & fluid. To date that’s seemed good advice and saved me significant £ on 930 ...

Re: GRRC Fellowship
I was on the GRRC waiting list for several years, which also gave access to the superb Members’ Meetings. Then they came up with the idea of the Fellowship, so I would have to start paying to remain on the waiting list. I even had a phone call from one of the team, explaining that the fees are credi...

What’s the olive number? Looks cool. ....spotted a couple of years back at Dick Lovetts; no details and no idea who owns it but looked an interesting car, it actually passed me a short time later heading towards Malmesbury as I was going the other way but not seen it since...... https://farm5.stati...

Do you (or anyone else) have an idea of likely noise level of this design, thinking of trackday tests?
