I hankered after a AMV for a few years, it would have been my replacement if I had sold the S1. I know they are not the best to drive but I’m not the best driver and they look so good. You should do it.

Did some fitting for size today. Too tall for an Mx-5 with the hood up, even without a crash helmet. Fits in a gt86 with about 5mm to spare. Plenty of room in Cayman but the woes of the 3.4 engine put me off.

I drove Minis, the old sort for years, Golf Gtis and the usual suspects. For normal road use I think fwd is much more sensible and a better packaging option. I just think that RWD is more fun on track because you have to be more careful and controlled, especially in the wet. I did try a BMW Mini at ...

My son wants to do more track days, he’s 6ft 4 and growing and does not fit an Exige or Elise. He has been driving my a Caterham but has to sit like a pen knife. I’m going to look at a bag seat for him but even then his head may be too close to the roll cage. We would also like a car that we can dri...

Nothing wrong with the bmw diff, just not lsd. Caterham’s tend to spin a rear wheel on slow exits so an lsd is a fix but not allowed in many race series. Academy lap record Is 1:54 on Donny gp, it’s 1:40 for a 420r (Duratech) so it is much slower. ECU change and you can make a Sigma a 310r which is ...

Hi Keith seems quite a while ago since we last met at Croft, that was the last T/D that I did in my Red Exige V6. I hope you are keeping well 👍 Thanks for the info regarding a Sigma I didn't know they had a Mazda gearbox, do you know what diff they use? I presume the one I have been looking at has ...

Peter, I’ve only just seen this thread. I have a Caterham Academy Sigma and my son has just done his first full track day following a few laps shared with me a couple of months ago. He loved it and car was great and he was very brisk. An academy car is slow with only 125hp but it’s still fun. The Si...

Can I hijack slightly? Taking clam off soon to sort radiator/tow post/all that jazz. Last time I did this it was on a non-AC car, but my Exige now has AC. Should I take it to get the system drained whilst the car is still roadworthy or can I swap the radiator & Co without touching the AC condenser?...

I always stay at the above. Big car park and excellent food and beer. I’d not arrive late as the car park fills up as the locals fill the restaurant. Very friendly as well.

What did the ‘Alcantara Trim Pack’ consist of? Apparently it came with this, but no sign of Alcantara anywhere! I assume it’s just the door cards and sill trim, or does it also include the dash inserts? My car had the alcantara pack. Seat centres, door panels and sill pads, may have include the ste...
