Thinking or replacing my Seven-type with an alternative trackday/weekend toy.

Was thinking of a VX220 Turbo, but as im quite tall (6'1"), I wanted to try sitting in one first?

Anyone Chatham/Gillingham/Maidstone/area have one I try for size?

Bored of it already then Hol? I nearly went for a VX220 Turbo before the spec'C'. Very capable enjoyable car.

I'm about 6'1" (maybe a tad more) and I never had a problem.

IIRC, there's a fella on .org who is about 6'5" and he fits fine too - don't forget that your legs are virtually straight when sitting down (probably like your car?)

Hi Steve

After driving that beast of a Galant in the MLR500, my life was spoiled!!!

Yeah, it was great in the summer and I now have a trailer so I can take it to tracks trackdays, but with the STI, I could use it for work occasionally.

I like Elises, but i just don't think it will have the power id want. An Exige would be better, but a good one is soo much more money.

there are at least 2 that i see daily, one in lordswood and one in rainham, sorry i don't actually know the drivers but the blue one has an owners club sticker on, might be worth checking out their site to track him down?
Thats handy, I live in Lordswood. Which one was the Blue one. I seem to remember one being near Rainham Station when I commuted, is that the one you mean?

maybe, its always along the a2, just before splashes swimming pool when you're heading to rainham. the silver one always heads up north dane way into lordswood - saying that i haven't seen either of them since i posted the first time!
