    2 weeks of ownership....

    ....and I get a speeding ticket!!!!! I've had 7 years of breaking the speed limit and almost as soon as I jump into a bright red hot hatch I get clobbered! I can't really complain though, 3 points and £60 is getting off lightly as the policeman was lenient!!!

    i've just got off the phone to Andrew at yozzasport, he was very helpful. I've decided to get new lines, fluid and pads, the only problem being whether to go for the PF97s or the DS2500s. Bascially, as those of you who were at bedford will have seen, i'm not very good at keeping my car clean, so...

    Warranty void after a track session?

    In Australia it was common practice to cover/remove registration plates during a track session so as to not allow dealers to know the car was on a track and void warranty. Do any of you guys know what the stand is on warranty being void as a result of a track day (and proof of, e.g. by online...
