Bless you both. You've made me go weak at the knees... :oops:

And Graham, I have no illusions about what I'd have to do to be competitive in my class: go back to drag racing! :bom:

I never started hillclimbing with any illusions/delusions about being competitive with anyone other than myself. And for that reason, I love it.

I say that about the 110 as the luggage space is so small.
For 2 weeks in Europe we took 2 pull along cases, a small bag of rain Coates, all that easy in the front of the Boxster.
Then the boot was 1/4 full of shoes, maps and a few parts and wet weather stuff.
So easy, so practical.
The 110 can't do that.

The GR is on the radar second hand. Fed up with losses on new cars.

As for hill climbs, look after the pb's and the class positions look after themselves.

The 110 will take 2 airplane carry-on cases in the front and then 3 soft holdalls in the back.
If you can’t go on holiday with that amount of luggage then the fault is not with the car

Just saw one in orange - very nice

Mine has the life 110 geo settings and slightly lowered progressive springs. Improves the steering substantially.

That blood orange car does look great !
I wonder how may Alpines we will see in colours from the Atelier range - as a £4440 option, it makes the Porsche paint to sample scheme seem good value.

Is that the 'special accessory' you told me you got with the R4 ?
