Farewell

[lucozade]

Having sold my car tonight it's time to say farewell to a fantastic ownership experience. I'm saving for a house purchase and had to make some changes.

Thanks to you all who have contributed and helped over the last two years.

It was great to meet some of you at the owners days too.

I will no doubt hang about like a bad smell and keep an eye on the discussions. Perhaps I might meet up with a few of you at my next track day in the CSL . Had a 50 mile drive tonight and I've got to say it's pretty damn good - the sound is just something else

Good luck and best wishes to you all.

It was nice to meet you at Rockingham and hope to see you around.

Best wishes...Martin.

Bloody good car the CSL you won't be dissapointed, a current and future classic.

Yes, almost as good as the Noble. Ironically it has to be driven hard to really enjoy it, something you don't need to do in the Noble. The reason for this, is, when driven hard the CSL sounds sooooo much better than when it isn't driven hard. Got that!

Yes and those tyres need some heat in them that's for sure (having a little bit too much on a roundabout this morning)

Of course, just make sure you don't hang around like Dan

Good luck with it Lucozade! Collected my CSL just 3 hours ago! Loving it so far. Just got to scrub those Cups in!

Neil, do you fancy joining us on the Northants run on Sunday?

I want to see it, plus we're meeting at Dove House motors in Rushden so there will be loads of metal to ogle!

I was just looking at that. Rushden's a short ride along a lovely stretch of road from here If it's not miserable weather then I may well be up for that. I take it the pub's fully booked now?

[gadgeroonie]

got any pics of your CSL ?

[m12_nathan]

Glad you're enjoying it Washy, I take it the mods are already booked

Off to get new rears fitted tomorrow, just measured them at 1.7mm!

Lucozade - when do you get yours?

No limit at the place we are going.


Mate, you can't use the old "its raining" gag now that you have a 4 seat repmobile to trundle around in!!

See you at Dove house at 09.30. No excuses will be accepted.

I quite like Dan being around, he does give some balance.

Although he can't drink, a bit like someone else I know

Yeah, I can. I hate rain. Especially on Cup tyres still dripping with release compound!

Hi Nathan, I got mine on Thursday. 2004 04 model with 12,000 on the clock, Silver Grey. Good spec. I'm very happy with it. It will be my daily commute and so far so good, I just love that sound and the chairs are so so comfortable.

I'll be out on my 048's. Should be interesting!

[m12_nathan]

Lucozade - Congratulations

Washy - Know the feeling, put new cups on the rear and the combination of sticky fronts and teflon rears is amusing

Greg - you'll be fine, the 048R are ok in the wet, just slow down if you notice any standing water as that is when it gets scary, I ran 048R for ages and they are a great tyre.



Makes me want another go in it.
