After getting spotted by @Fonzey the other day down at the Motorist and the car been rather filthy. ive spent some time today getting the majority of the swirls out with the polisher and given it a good lacing of polish and wax. Must say its scrubbed up pretty well for 19 years old.
Great chatting with you @Fonzey and what a lovely motor you’d brought down.
hoping to get down to the NYLOC meet tomorrow if the weather stays nice.

Thanks, I’ve often thought of going to a kart meeting there as it’s not all that far from me but never got round to it ( story of my life )

I actually stopped and had a look over the fence one day when I was on a solo Exige run but it is pretty much out of the way.

Feel your pain on the number plate destruction. I whacked mine a few days into ownership and cracked the splitter.
It’s now stuck on with Velcro to help give the splitter half a chance if it takes another hit

the roads in yorkshire are pretty unforgiving thinking i may have to get it raised a tad as its ratger low.
scotland trip next week, will be going up through north yorks via buttertubs. be lucky if i have a splitter left by the time i get there to be honest.
fingers crossed for the weather to stay nice. but not too nice its been rather hot in there on a run out this eve
