Gilford and Dazzagt, track toy is a series 1 Lotus Elise (one of the first to leave the factory) had it from new and has seen only (although very hard) 20k miles. Do a yearly trip to Anglesey around the Aug bank holiday but missed it this year (damn work!)

good work

Have a track day / ring trips / spa etc dilemma ... do I go old E36 fully race spec, and tow it to days, can have slicks and wet option tyres ( have race licence so really want to get back into it ) or GT3 / GT2 for track days and euro trips with autobahn fun thrown in the mix and a car I can also use on the road ??  RRS S/C, Factory Fitted Full HST kit, 22" Overfinch SS, Carbon Vents & Grill .. - FOR SALE - PM me for details

My call would be for a GT3/GT2, awesome cars! The RRS has replaced a Porsche Boxster S (would have been a GT3 had the Mrs not wanted a convertible) which i bought specifically to hoon through Europe. Me and the Mrs took a month off work in June and drove through France, Switzerland and Germany and then into Italy where we stayed for 3 weeks driving the length and breadth of the country. I can honestly say at 32 I think I have enjoyed the best holiday of my life!! The Amalfi coast with the top down, Driving round lake Como from Como to Bellagio and Stelvio Passé in thick fog being some of the many highlights.

Just a shame that the Lotus Elise is a bit too focused to take on a long journey otherwise i'd do it again next year in a heartbeat! Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

Cool, he works on purely recommendation only, no advertising, and is actually passionate about detailing ..

Not doing a full on session as Johnny on hear has already done the first stages and a bit of correction, he know's well mark too, so more a joint effort as he owes me a favour so doing some more on mine whilst im down that way for the day

Anyway if you are about drop me a PM and will give you his / my mobile so we can sort. RRS S/C, Factory Fitted Full HST kit, 22" Overfinch SS, Carbon Vents & Grill .. - FOR SALE - PM me for details
