Track day fun. do I miss t he kit car?
Just home from a track day at Mallory Park, and much fun was had. The Suzuki handles the course nicely though a little more power would have been
nice. Hitting 85 at the end of the pit lane instead of 120 isn't as much of a thrill. 80 round gerrards was an adventure where the kit felt
completely planted. At times like these I do miss the seven. On the other hand, nothing broke. No oil was consumed, nothing needed to be tweaked or
adjusted and I got home again with no new noises, shakes or rattles to worry about. And when it rained, I didn't get wet. At times like these,
I don't miss it quite so much.

There is something to be said for showing up, checking fluid levels, checking air pressures, and getting on with it. The kit car is a bit more labour
intensive, but perhaps a bit more on the edge when driving.

I thought you were talking about a suzuki bike, I got confused when you said it wasn't 'planted'

Ahh! Little Suzi Capo, always fancied one of those, turbo 3 pot and highly tuneable. Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

My Cappuccino was the most "fun" car I've ever owned. Every drive was a little event, yet it was perfectly usable as a daily driver.
Superb engine too.
