When's the next track day Pete??
Aquired a new adition this week, hope you guys like it!!
Had to think long and hard before I sold my Bugeye, the only car I have ever bought brand new and ment a lot to me. I know your not supposed to get emotionally attatched to a metal object, but thats easier said than done after 7 and 1/2 years of owning it, it will be sorely missed
As Stu mentioned on a previous thread, I done loads of research before I decided on the right car for me, been looking since October 2009, not as hardcore as Speccy's blob (which started my passion for a Spec C), but definately the right choice for me
It's an 06 Hawkeye Spec C, one of only two black ones in the UK, I originally wanted a white one, but after seeing it in black, I totally fell in love with it! Was imported in 2007 with 5k kilometers on the clock by PCM (Immy), had one owner in the UK, then sold back to Immy, it now has 11600 on the clock, a few choice goodies from RCM and re-mapped (no mats in this one
) by Bob Rawle who mapped my Bug almost 70k miles ago so obviously I'm totally confident in his skills!
The bug as some of you may remember
.......
And the Speccy after a quick clean (need to take some proper piccies)
..........
Reason why it's so LOUD............
Power graph after Bob mapped it...........
One VERY happy bunny.......
My bug made 273bhp and 250 Ib ft torque on Surrey rolling road last year, but this thing scares the **** out of me
Only driven it in the snow and wet so far, every time I floor it, the back tries to over-take the front which is fun
Gearbox is taking time to get used too, didn't realise how different it would be. I can put it in 6th gear at 40mph and it feels totally happy, but drop it into 2nd at 40mph and all 4 wheels spin up instantly, and continue to do so in 3rd and 4th
First mod is to change the exhaust as it is silly loud due to being a true straight through pipe with no silencers. Gets on your t1t's after the novelty has worn off (about 5minutes). Then some mud flaps as I want to protect it as much as possible from stone chips, then some driver training and track days
Like to thank Speccy for putting up with me texting and calling to constantly ask questions, and also Shaun (ex-webby) for answering my PM's.
Hope you like it guys

Cheers lads, well chuffed with it
MSOC, me?? you never know 
Brands was bl00dy horrible, really cold, rain, hail and even some sleet!
Some lovely cars there as usual but some people gave it a miss understandably.
Was a Caterham 7 type kit car going round non stop, big ball's if you ask me, he must have felt like he was sitting in a cold bath tub all day
Was a few minor off's, but a nice Porker GT3 lost it on the pit straight and bounced off both walls, made a right mess
Pete 'Stiggy' Budge was flying round as usual
