Gotta say the RX7 looks fantastic without a front numberplate, it really does.

Chris yours suits the kit so well without spoiling the lines of the car.

How come John got pulled for his plates and you havent been pulled for yours ?

I think the rozzers were just being petty and wanted to pull up all the boy racers......I really resent that too........

I would much rather be reffered to as and old boy racer or even a gentleman racer.....

A little flexing of the Police muscles is the least I would expect with an event at Santa Pod and convoys of tuned cars

As long as common sense is applied when the BIB have spoken to their drivers, then I see no harm in it.

Anyone that met you John would have to refer to you as a Gentleman Racer mate......no way could they call you a 'boy'unless you were rocking your Beanie hat and hoodie

This looks like a great event and nice to see a decent gathering of Rexes too.......(which gives me an idea)

Well I just got back from a great evening on track at Snetterton. What an absolute machine. I am really starting to get noticeably faster now and this thing just keeps getting better and better.

I still don't think I have found its limits and I was overtaking pretty much everything including a brand new Porsche Cayman S, dispatched in 2 laps, had a really close battle with a stripped and caged EVO 6 over 4-5 laps. It was clearly more powerful and faster out of the apex, but I kept getting him under braking. Also had a great run with a race spec M3 evo. Very close over 4 laps.

The car is performing!

The myths of the unreliable rotary engine can surely be put to sleep. This is its 5th hard outing, including a trip to the Ring, and it pulls as hard as it did when it was built. Even the turbos are surviving at 1 bar to my surprise!

I'd like to thank Gary for fitting my "c**t of a job" fuel surge tank. I ran the tank right down and there was no sign of fuel cut where as before I was getting it at just over half a tank!

Also good to see Scott (s15) and Matt (R34 GTT) and the other BP dudes

Awesome mate, sounds like its all coming together!

Glad to hear your fuel issues are sorted, especially after after experiencing how frustrating it was first hand...

Does this now mean your shopping list is now empty?!?!
