i love it my old classic was fun but after getting this the fun factor is unreal and the car always keeps you on your toes. took it out in rain for 1st time last week and lets just say it was eventful. it tries stepping out at the slightest dab on the throttle. def a totally different drive to my old classic

If you have a cage you should really have harness, buckets and a helmet.

OE belts with a cage and no helmet will kill you long before it saves you.

Lovely Type R though
