Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Well not quite won but I just thought I'd share that I have been entrusted with an Elfin MS8 and a 996 GT3 RS for the next couple of months.......

Don't think the wife will be getting much quality time in the near future

Whoo Hoo!

[Terminator]

Why isn't she allowed to drive them???

Next Run - Darwin !

have you been entrusted with the keys for said vehicles?!?

and does the owner's insurance policy cover you?!?

[CamBiscuit]

Yes and yes Rich - I have been instructed to make good use of them which I fully intend to do.

No Clyde she's not a noted driver on the insurance policies!

[Jeff Eelkema]

What a pity there are no corners up there and you don't have unlimited speeds anymore. Might actually be a bit boring so I'm not really jealous.

[reedminor]

Could take or leave the Elfin ( I assume its a new one?)

But the GT3RS is mind blurring.. and the one I drove was only at 7/10's.

[griffiths_r]

Cam

any chance you'd still have them in August?

[CamBiscuit]

Rich I'd like to think so but doubtful!

Are you coming up?

[griffiths_r]

The plan is currently forming... Will send you an email rather than boring everyone with the logistics...

[CamBiscuit]

I think the correct description is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRKKKKK!!!!

Rather focussed bit of kit aren't they Note to self do not floor it half way around a round about.....

[griffiths_r]

sounds like fun!!

sure you can't lose the keys til august?!

[reedminor]

I recall using that adjective several times during my drive of one...

[CamBiscuit]

Justin did you find it really 'graunchy' in 1st ? reverse? I can't believe how clunky & noisy the LSD is. The thing only has about 8K on the clock so I'm sure there's nothing abnormal going on.

The old adage of 'its more fun to drive a slow car fast than drive a fast car slow' rings true for this thing. I think my licence would be at risk if I owned it. Never out of second around town.

Love to take it to the track though

[reedminor]

Not graunchy, but heavy, you had to be fairly forceful with it. It wasn't fluid like my old 901 box.

Yes - quite noisy, they do not have a dual mass flywheel, so are noisy, and dare I say it a bit rattley. But you forget all of this when you stand on it, and the engine spins past 7K in a heartbeat.

The car I drove is in Christophorus, in the story about the PCNSW concours. A lovely car, that was later doing low 30's around Bathurst at Easter.
