Steffan777 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks for the spot Martin!The Mrs wanted to go to Evans Cycles in Gatwick which was perfect as it was sunny when we left ......... we had to stop in Edenbridge to put the hood up else we would have drowned! :-)What am I looking for if I want to return the spot?

Mankee Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Also spotted at Brands last Monday, chatting about our noisy cars during lunch. Nice to meet you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan777 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hi Mankee, was good to meet you too and thanks for the advice re the exhaust.I trust you got a few more good laps in on Monday, was lovely weather for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 No probs! I managed to last until 4.30pm when I got kicked off again. The Decibel Slayer had had enough of being bashed at the bottom of Paddock Hill and deposited itself into the gravel at the end of the start/finish on the next lap, which was rather amusing! I need a long-term solution though.If you want to try out a Decibel Slayer and Sevens and Classics aren't able to lend you one, let me know and I'll post mine down to you for a play.

Martin J Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 You are welcome Steffan & nice to receive a reply on spotted which is rare.You won't remember but I was the British Gas van waiting to go straight on as you turned left towards Otford. I heard a nice lumpy sounding tick over first & thought it sounded like a caterham before you came into view. I assume you are a HPC with Vauxhall red top? If so, very nice. See picture of mine in my profile taken down at Dungeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan777 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks Martin, I'm afraid you're right, all I remember is just how much fun it was trying to see where I was going and trying to keep it on the straight and narrow. I realised after I posted back to you that I could see you profile picture. Lovely colour scheme, but what's under the hood?Mine is actually a Rover VHPD. I had a crossflow previously and felt I needed to try something a bit more pokey. Funnily enough I started out looking for an HPC before I ran out of patience.Oh, and MANKEE - thanks again for the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Standard Sigma 125.Off to Germany in it tomorrow to enjoy the lovely roads in the Black Forest. Forecast says high pressure is on it's way for the weekend which would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin J Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Leaving for the Eurotunnel in 20mins. Little convoy of 3 caterhams & a 911.Now half hood or no half hood, that is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
