anything closer than 50yards, the marshals tend to accuse you of 'racing' like they did with myself & laptoprob when we were almost the only ones on the circuit (roll eyes)



I think you've just been a bit unlucky there.. I've been in loads of high speed "pursuits", pretty close at times, and it's never been a problem. (yet!)

Aint that the truth!

So the car had its finish wash and scrub up ready for the new owner to take her away… so here are the final photos within my ownership… didn't go very far for the photoshoot, as once a car is sold and money has exchanged hands, I believe the car to be no longer mind and therefore will not drive it.

Purposeful looking beast! Have you driven it yet, and what are the two "gear levers" on the floor?

Yes only driven it up and down the private road at Spire, and the induction noise of your brain being sucked out of your left ear is phenomenal

They are cockpit adjustable antiroll bars front & rear

Paddle shift will certainly teach me to keep both hands on the wheel eh

So I've been tinkering with the new car, and holding off posting about it due to it not being a yellowcab any more, but might still continue updating with my progress anyway as I kinda enjoy documenting the journey.

keep the updates coming!

Although maybe start a new thread as the thread title isn't really relevant anymore??

I completely missed this part!

I keep meaning to put a thread up on her for her but where to start?! Plus I've been too busy offering diet advice to a certain chunky future RGB racer She's already doing the rounds in my existing 114 page thread on another sites, so I'll decant the newer bits onto here and start from there.

I would start a new thread about my Spire - but there isn't really anything that needs doing to it - so it'd be pretty boring lol
