Re: Spa-Classic

What Mazda? Not that I'm booked for laps, but if it's a 600bhp RX7 you might get more takers than if it's a Bongo. Its the one that is mentioned in this post: http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=53302 Unfortunately its nothing exotic just a MX5 with a turbo. I appreciate its not the mo...

Re: Spa-Classic

Guys, I'm chancing my arm here but I'm booked on sessions 2 (afternoon session on Friday) and 5 (the late evening session on Saturday) for this year in the Mazda. Would any of you like to do a passenger lap trade by any chance? A passenger lap in mine for a passenger lap in your classic Porsche? If ...

Re: Ooh the shame of it.

Why do I want a suped up mx5 now?! Had quite a few mx5's and loved them all but missus has the SLK now for top down motoring and I'm not a fan. Wonder if I could get a hot track focused MX5 that would be ok on the roads for her also? I can see track days being on the agenda again if I could! Mk3 MX...

Re: Ooh the shame of it.

Good man Beardy, a nice car well helmed. Targas are cool now, especially since I got one. I have been loving mine in this sunny weather, really is a good balance between coupe and cab. They are still less desirable than a coupe so you can still get an aircooled targa for bottom 997 money, albeit a ...

Re: Ooh the shame of it.

not everyone frowns upon a targa, although I could name a few on this forum :lol: How did you find out we had posted your clip? Do we have a closet mx5 driver on here? I'd happily drive an air-cooled Targa but with the Porsche bubble not looking to burst anytime soon, it's not likely I'll ever get ...

Re: Ooh the shame of it.

You might be right Mick, I think it was yours that caught my eye. Lovely looking car in a great colour. Are Targas generally frowned upon?

Re: Ooh the shame of it.

Fair enough Simon, I take it all back... ...Manly hug :) No offence caused Jury. Please accept my unreserved apologies for swearing at you. Heat of the moment I'm sure. Hugging you back... Aha - that's an interesting spec - what HP are you making? I was in the green Targa you went past so easily :-...

Re: Ooh the shame of it.

Hey all, I just wanted to say thanks for some of the hilarious comments in this thread and apologise to those who thought my approach a little too enthusiastic. It's difficult to reign it in sometimes on such an awesome circuit as Spa. I enjoyed spending time on track with you guys, I'm very envious...
