Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good luck tomorrow John, from the pictures I have seen of the car it looks a very well sorted piece of kit, and in a twist of fete, the car was previously owned by a chap not twenty miles from where John lives, Hopefully see ya Sunday for a run out then John ??

Norman Verona Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 John, just take it easy, especially if it's wet. The power to weight ratio will be far more than you may be used to. If you floor it and the back end breaks away it could end in tears. So take it easy and enjoy. You'll soon get used to it and be able to handle it. Only problem is getting the grin off your face, it may become permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulm3 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Love the idea of that marathon first trip was good fun! everyone was like omg that's so far!! it was only 350 miles. but great to learn the car and potter along at your own speed. Did have a lid on and my iphone ears in (illegal I think) and the miles flew by!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matta Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Drove my last one back to central Scotland from the south coast - nearly 600 miles by the time I got back, 12 hours on the road (11 in the pi$$ing rain with no hood, one breakdown in the dark and M74 closed when I reached it! Good fun but a long day and would probably trailer it next time. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
