ROFLMAOlike a bunch of monkeys they join together to throw sh1t at the approaching threat in helpless desperation.
I have to say, this thread perfectly exemplifies why we should restrict posting to registered members. This banter is a whole lot of fun for now, but when the abuse and foul language starts to kick-off big time (as it always does from my experience of other forums), it brings the reputation of a site down very quickly. A perfect example is Scooby.net - a once admired forum for information is now a kiddies playground; when people want an example of how forums can go t*ts up, they are usually the first choice (just like now).
If only registered members can post, it stops people pretending to be other people and members can be restricted or barred. It can be done by IP address too, but that's alot more hassle.

JC, so why not register and be a 'real' person here. You seem to come back a lot 
I agree on your comments on 911's and Caterhams - I've had both over the years and agree they need learning - hence the fun of having them.
Agree on SV/R300 too. Every Cat owner I've met (with a few exceptions) has seemed a good bloke, I'm sure with the high numbers of people here who intend or do track their car we're bound to meet up (hopefully not under braking into Redgate 
As for a VX220 being more practical than an SV hmmm not sure. The SV has a bigger boot than a standard car and the VX220 boot is tiny and right next to a red hot engine. In the Turbo I am sure you will be able to cook a chicken in about 30 minutes in the boot due to all the heat off the turbine. Plus you can always get a luggage rack.
On the track the VX loses out big time as it is so lardy (esecially with the windmill version). Not sure how a turbo and the realtively lightweight VX will mix as the turbo tends to be a bit of a bitch in lightweight cars.
Nice spec for the SV but get the 15" wheels they are much more aesthetically pleasing, much lighter and you can get more grippy rubber for them.
As for crashes I think the most raced production car in the world has a fair bit of inbuilt safety in it. Oh and I had an interesting chat with someone very much in the know who said that several instructors at Bedford had gone down with Carbon Monoxide poisoning from their VX220's!
If you want a fun car then a Caterham it simply has to be!
.. of course you must get a good look at them as they loom large in the mirrors, blast past, and disappear into the sunset 
well I'd hope whatever problem they have was sorted.
SV practicality - since when was practicality measured purely on boot space alone, I would suggest weather protection, security, comfort are all considered.
15" wheels
