Pitman 188 Report post Posted April 18, 2014 Rich, That engine compartment is definitely NOT up the standard of Pitman engine compartments I have a few days off the week 1st week in May, I can see I am going to have to dedicate one of them to a trip to Macclesfield to sort that out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 I think it done very well, given the price of the damn thing. It's a shame you had to pay for this yourself. RRG happy to sponsor the TSS but won't sponsor you to participate? Makes no sense to me, a simple form signed to say they don't hold RRG responsible for any injury surely would of got around the "liability" issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelerad 256 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Gets a bit difficult to convince your bosses to sponsor a race series and then add "Oh and can you pay for a car for me to drive in it as well then", think Rich might have been on a sticky wicket there I'm just glad RRG could put the money in when Toyota UK dropped out, else the costs to all of us who want to take part would have had to go up Alec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riceburner 284 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Dave We have a event on at work this weekend and I have 2 GT test drives Saturday.Its just a bit too far and too Mutch going on. We will be at Blyton in July and hopfully with the TGB hospitality unit and the LFA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pitman 188 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 OK I will let you off then . After having been fortunate enough to be taken for a rather spirited trip up the Prescott hill climb in the LFA at the GT4 do, I must say I think it is the most fantastic car i have ever been in (apart from my GT86, that is!!)

Special K 442 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Agree with Pitman's comments - we got a passenger ride with Richard at Prestcott - the sound and acceleration of the LFA are incredible ! (... but won't be a patch on the FT1.... har!) Rich - I don't think I'd call a bit of yellow tape around the steering wheel centre point an 'accessory'...

Keethos 842 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Rich......don't lie to me about the LFA.....don't get my hopes up.....I will come to Blyton Park if an LFA will be there......as well as cheering you all on......but I want Dave's smiling face as I sit in one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
