I've never seen a blue clubman before, it really looks great and a hardtop to boot!

Karl, I've seen reference to four Laguna Blue Clubmans (including yours) on this forum.

4 is still a small amount of the the 15. Assuming every one is still running

Anyway did some updates. And these... aside from the number plate are the final visual updates for a while. Well that and painting the wheels.

The difference between American and Japanese products. American towhook, made out of a garage, the holes are not even straight, raw carbon steel with photo copied instructions that hopes you will never use their product. Jap front lip is beautifully made, no instructions, bolts are beautiful, and comes with a book full of emotional words that are spelt wrong and makes no sense.

Ref to 1 of 8 silver Clubmans is even less! Black Clubmans are even more common than Laguna Blue with ref to 4 different ones of the 8 produced.

*nods* and I was doing the same. I had to ask Karl to file it away before I did something stupid.

Hehe braking, that's what I did all the time. Normal speed on the straights, braking every where else. Still, 1:27x isn't bad at all. Man and machine went out in the unknown, and worked perfectly.

Finally found some time, and a clean car (which is hard to come by in the last few weeks) to take some pictures. I did cave into multiple peer pressure to do something about the number plate. Now this you all should realise is going against my ancestors to spend more money, to buy something that is the same as before, AND smaller.

So for the first time for some of you ever, here is the car I actually own, no longer just the number plate and some of you can't quiet work out what it is. Yes it's another one of those gay MX-5s.

For some reason, this patch of black on paint, I think, is perfect. Internet track spec points you can't buy
