Just a quickie before this gets binned by Big Bro! Sorry to hear (btw, what year / chassis no. is that gorgeous looking SR3?), but nothing's forever ................. if you sell, only a question of time before you've got to get Radicalling again! Hope you'll still put in a personal appearance at the Inaugural Trackday - it'll be good to meet up with all the buddies on the RF and that doesn't change if you find yourself temporarily 'without'.

Best Wishes to You & Yours and of course little Emma ............. based on my experience, only another 29.5-ish years to go before she stops costing you ................. quite so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so 30 years time i might be able to have another Rad.......... will be 70 then OMG !!!!! do pensioners get discount on track days ??

The four theoretical choices appear to be >

1) Breed young
2) Get the progeny married off early
3) Hope for further medical progress & become the UK's fastest 70 year old
4) Find a way of keeping it

You've blown 1), 2) is in the lap of the Gods, but (the increasing number of 30, even 40 plus year olds still living with Ma & Pa suggests) you'd be unwise to rely on that, there'd have to be some rapid progress to make 3) viable, so I'd go 4) even if it means just using it two or three times a year; they might be few, but they'd still be 100% memorable. Last year (touchwood!) our outlay was oil, petrol, set of Magnecor leads and one OSF slick ...... this much pleasure doesn't come much cheaper. In terms of trackdays, to reduce costs, consider 'KISS', such as standard motor, part worns at £25 a pop etc etc?

I (and a few others who shall remain nameless) have a lot of wrinkles, but even I can't answer the question about an OAP discount ......... well not for a while anyway!

Looks like I might have broken rule number 1 again... Will do my best on rule number 4.

LMAO !!!!!

yep number 1 is long gone

Number 2 - well she can have a go too !?!? women driver, radical mmmm enough said - can of worms !!

i am interested in number 3, hoping to still be out there playing at 70, probably won't be the fastest though - not fast enough now !!!!!!

I do like someone who will kick you when you're down
