Whilst in the local garage I picked up the latest flyer for Castle Coomb race circuit.

It was a couple of days before I bothered to read it,but when I did,look what I discovered in the Skidpan Training bit...........an E30.

A great choice in teaching people how to drive in slippy conditions :cool:

I wonder if you were going as fast as the race spec Invicta that uses that road as a test road!

A friend who has a unit next door to the Invicta workshop was telling me today about them clocking 155mph down there,although this motor is capable of 200mph,i'm sure they have probably done this too!

When it's blasting up and down there it is possible to hear it clearly well over a mile away,this car simply cannot be legal! Awsome though :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
