I am eyeing Supercar Hire Scotland's web site in terms of leasing their Vantage or F-type again to cover this ground. Don't know much about them, but most Performance Car Hire places have their insurance excess set at a level that is specifically designed to curb your enthusiasm..... I know you can...

@mik Has had experience of their returns as well with good reports. 1 warranty return - 18+ month old battery. They sent return packaging and organised pickup. Slight pain as they then needed a couple of days to test it, but they agreed it was faulty and provided no-quibble replacement (actually ga...

Had to pop out this morning. Quiet A-roads. Came up behind dawdling hatchback. Maintained 3 second gap to them for a mile or so through bends and short straights. I know there is a long straight around the next bend, so I am considering that as my potential passing opportunity. Heavy coming the othe...

Jeez. That’s also awful. And awful that you had to find him.

In case anyone was wondering, the MX5 wrap is definitely a more vibrant blue than comes across in pics. Looks very factory - which is a good thing. Was kinda surreal meeting Jobbo F2F after way more than 20 years of knowing each other online. Chatted like a pair of budgies over a cuppa / lunch, and ...
