Praise for the Avon

Took the Avon - standard, not spent any money on setup, on R888s to Silverstone on Saturday. Had an instructor with us for a few laps.

He was hugely impressed by the car. He said it felt more settled, more balanced and had more grip than any Caterham or Westfield he'd ever driven.

Which I was pretty pleased with. Now all we need is better baffling to stop the oil light flashing on Brooklands....

this may be true but it wasnt settled or balanced enough to beat my time at barkston on Sunday, ( the car must be tired......bless)

We were being a bit gentle with her. That and the lack of talent.

it was a good day, not my fastest but i did manage an all four wheels off combined with spin, so maybe im the one without a brain or talent

What about the Busa Mini, that was rapid, i think it won outright beating the westie in the end.

Really very quick indeed.
