His mother must have given birth in her late 60s or early 70s, some feat.

Hope you recover back to normal soon pal.

Booked, appreciate the peer pressure @Rich B

Tempted, it’s just child care is a pain on school days.

I think north Weald will soon be an ai data centre.

Thinking of booking another one of these, I’d have preferred Thruxton with the skid pan, but there aren’t any weekend dates coming up.

For the Midlands guys, Stafford still has Sundays 19th April, 28th June, and 26th July, anyone else interested?

I considered this car too expensive at circa £75k when the first edition came out, back when the quality issues were still unknown it looked poor value compared to a cayman. An inflation busting nigh on 50% rise is insane.

Finally a government resignation over this... https://www.reuters.com/world/slovakia- ... 026-02-01/

condolence, hope you and family are ok

With camera phones and social media, we can see events in real time and make our own minds up, which makes the lying even more unbelievable, plus we should learn from history.

No surprise that tourism has taken a nose dive.

I have owned the purple z exactly 3 weeks and despite being away for a few days Ive managed to do almost 600 miles or 50% of the break in miles.

Over the last 7 years I have owned 4 other G series BMWs , all have a similar looking dash board which makes the switch to manual even more strange and it ...

Do we need to revise the dictionary definition for statesmanlike?

You know it...

It could be an alternative narration at the start of fightclub.

I guess that would be my concern, like on the roads now, it's other people I worry about.


That was my reason for getting a quote, although you would hope an Evo evening isnt full of people who cant drive, or worse, people that cant handle the power of their stage 3 Audi s3.

Im only paying £260 ...

It does say accident damage caused by you or another individual on track.

Im not sure they can go after 3rd parties tracks days are pretty much at your own risk?

Planning to go to the Evo Doningtonevening session in June.

The insurance quote is over £500 and a £5.2k excess, genuinely more than I pay for a full year on the road, which surprised me.

Im sure I paid about £200 for a year on my mx5, appreciate that was circa 20 years ago on a much lower value ...

I bought a poverty spec 1.3l ford ka with the black bumpers and everything from my mam for £1500.

I traded it in for £3000 when I got my sportka in 2006

Really miss that car


My wife had one, chosen for the colour, blue. It wasnt great on fuel for a small car but handled well ...

Im a big fan of the mk3 mr2, I looked at a 180bhp conversion once that turned out to be a ropey project, but they are still on my list. Sadly even the garage queens seem to suffer from rust.

No one bought one (or made one) this year though!

If anyone is considering it, 2026 is the time
