Here are some pics of the car I'll be using for track days next year... 
It's my dad's car now, but it used to be mine. The fool has said I can use it for track days.
It's a TR7V8 that I had converted by Grinnall Specialist Cars a fair few years ago. 3.5 Litres of Rover V8 power, Rover Vitesse 4-pot front brakes, uprated springs & shockers, etc...
I've had great fun at several outings at Castle Coombe and one at Goodwood. Much as I love my Scoob, personally I don't think you can improve on the sound made by a decent V8.
(Edited as images shown in reply below. I always mess up the links first time round, but Scoobynet died so I couldn't fix it. No sense in posting them twice, eh? - Cheers markab
)
I've got some more action shots from Goodwood that I'll add soon.
(Thanks go to Marc for the scanning-in )

As promised...
A couple of pictures from Goodwood, where I had the pleasure of spanking a few "lighter & more powerful" TVR 350i's - Yeah, of course they are.

Oh yeah...
I let Fizz drive for "5 minutes", and we end up having a tussle with a TVR Griffith. We out-dragged him up a hill on the way to Hereford. He wasn't best pleased.
Naughty, naughty Fizz...
After my wedding is out of the way, next year... I want to find another TR7V8, and do the business on it for track days & sprints. Upgrade the brakes, handling, wheels, tyres, strip out the interior, replace the front wings/bonnet/bootlid with fibreglass and do some engine work.
NICE

Cheers, guys!
No wonder you're tearing up your tyres and getting the back of your scoob out, Tony - Considering your RS2000 history!!!
I can't wait to get another TR7V8 for some track work and give you a hard time. A nice unstressed 5.0 litre conversion, big-brakes, and hmmm...a 22B style front & rear spoiler, all in WR Blue.
Well, if I can't afford a 22B... I'll just have to make one, Blue Peter styley.
