Hi Paul,
Steve t here - glad my baby made it to (another) good home, and you're registered and ready to roll. Hope she behaves - or not, depending on how you like to drive :cheers:
I'm late to this, but my thought go out too - be well, Bill.
Here's a happy pic of Bill and Marcy from 7/7/7

Friend of mine drove my first Seven at the Brands Hatch circuit near London. He's a very experienced race driver so I was not concerned. Strangely though, he would not let me drive his car at the same event (1961 Ferrari 250SWB)...
I would put serious money on that being a replica.
There are some amazing Ferrari replicas out there, some of them even officially sanctioned by the factory, like this one here that belongs to a mate of mine in England - has full FIA racing papers from 1964.

Looks like an open track day on the 'indy' (short) circuit. They have pretty strict rules about when and where you can overtake, which is why he is holding back in traffic. I did a day there years ago (1997 I think) on the full GP circuit, which is awesome, the drop off at the end of the main straight going into Paddock Hill then up to the hairpin at Druids is one of the great complexes IMHO.
Here I am going into Druids - took me three laps to get by that darned Elan!

"Besides, modern diesels can be modded so easily, they will make 400+ HP and 800+ FT-LBS with relatively simple mods(exhaust, chip, intake)."
Arya, you've mentioned this to Mazda, I take it
Been on many of those roads - absolutely fantastic - and they are all two way
Wandering sheep are usually the biggest hazard...
Very jealous you are going Ed.
I did enjoy - that vette run is awesome :hurray:
Great graphics too - having driven the ring it was cool to be able to track the car, speeds, revs etc. I think he hit 179 on the long backstraight (best I ever did was 140, but, hey, it was an old Ford Scorpio).
Nice one.
At my favorite breakfast place, there is just one rule - no talk of politics or religion. That way a bunch of folks from different places and outlooks all stay friends. You might want to think about that.
I love that picture Mazda - even if I do look like the Michelin man.
I will organize a wake at Mrs Rowe's when you get back on the road. Al has to come.
My new car is on the way...

I wish
This is the worst picture ever taken of my Seven, cos it's leaving and I'm not driving.
Hope you have as much with her as I did Avery...

But I am about to take a welding course, so look out Bob and Mazda!
