    LOL - told you cars or other transport owned over the years, say a lot about you . I have enjoyed reading other's profiles :D .

    All so very different - except for Liz who was frighteningly similar to mine :eek: .

    [​IMG] You will have to let us know how you do. Can't make Brands Hatch in Feb.. Do you or have you any races planned for Castle Coomb Track?? We are not a million miles from there. I have raced that track on my Enfield 350 bullet in a veteran & vintage day. Came in 7th.... I can tell you I was pleased with that.. Bumpy old circuit....

    Yep, be doing Castle Coombe again this year, Brilliant track....... Love that main straight with a slight bend.

    Bumpy circuit .... In the briefing they warn you that 'it is an old style race track, with bumps before bends' ;)


    I do not race competitively, but do try to push the car to it's limits.


    I am going to 'hopefully' change my car next year for one of these, and in this colour

    I'm not very good on car ID, not that type anyway Nathan, what is it? We dont get many of them round here.
    Its not one of those Maclaren things, is it?
    All I can say is there must be a lot of money in garage doors. :D

    It is an Ultima GTR .


    And no where near the cost of a McLaren.


    0mph - 100mph - 0mph in around 9 seconds , accelerates and stops very quickly ;)


    Nathan.

    Ps it is a 'hope' for me next year.

    Thats impressive stuff, not being an enthusiast, I've got to admit I'd never heard of them.
    Nice to see we can still make something like that over here. See they use them big old american engines, bet they sound good as well as go.
