Are you really that age, boywonder? I thought I'd be pretty near oldest at 52. It's a shame in retrospect I didn't get into going on tracks earlier, but I didn't have the money in my 20s.

I just recently took both MR2s round Goodwood. Every time I do a track day, I feel I ought to try proper racing, but it's far too late, I couldn't compete with the reactions of 20-somethings! :?

Hey they've been churning out the good results recently, at least they are clear of relegation now!

Happily the MR2 takes years of me. Until I try to get out in one smooth movement.

I'm threatening my partner with replacing one of the MR2s with an Elise, but I can see her only going in it once!
