lol, I think about all 3 of you when I'm in bed. :3some:

on a serious note, how tall are you Dane? we both have a small advantage in that we have long put ourselves in spaces where we shouldn't fit having been japanese car fans for years. most people would tell you that you can't drive a 180 or that I can't drive a S13 but I manage. in fact my S13 still has the same seat in it that Cat Coleiro used when she owned it and you know how tiny she is next to me.

As far as the exige goes I was fine in it. It was a bit "intimate" when both troy and I were in at the same time, and I wouldn't want to have to get out of it if the thing was on fire but once inside I was happy. headroom surprisingly not an issue. knee room would be my only concern for you.

I haven't been in a caterham but if I can drive ruseel ingalls old formula ford (I can and have) I reckon I can drive some pommy lotus 7 copy no trouble.

or we can do it brisby style and buy a car? I could be easily talked into an E36 M3 purchase (cheap as dirt) and do Spa, Ring and maybe silverstone or zandvoort too?

You will fit Caterhams fine, ditto Lotus. You may not be comfortable, but its like banging a hot girl in a kinky position when you are getting cramps on the "hammy"...somehow you manage to battle on

That's So fhhhhucked. You get that too!

Ever dribble on her face accidently at your moment of high enjoyment?

They normally make me wear a bag on my head, so that captures any dribble (...still counts!)

he says it like a joke but it's true. that's how I spot him in a crowd. look for the bloke with the paper bag hanging at the ready out of his back pocket "just in case"....

and as if push on. if I get a cramp I just whine and lie in the foetal position quietly swearing for a few mins till I'm good to go. it still counts as love making right?

I'm 6'4 Baron. Comfortable for me (and you most likely) is different to most peoples idea of comfortable. If I fit with a helmet on and can splay my legs far enough to get the wheel in between them then I feel as if I'm in a Bentley baby! I can squeeze myself into an FD, but the wheel is a little low. Figure it would probably be the same with an Exige.

The Caterham videos that Troy and Snowy put up at Spa looked like outrageous fun so I'd love to give one of them a go for a day, but the whole buying a car and driving to multiple tracks would be too cool. I'm with you all the way on the E36 too :thumbsup: The only spanner in the works is that my girlfriend may kill me if I head to Europe with the boys again, so will need to work out some holiday plans with her first!

Smooth. I figure if I can squeeze myself into RX3's and 7's then I can probably get into an Exige or Caterham, but don't want to be rudely surprised if I don't and have booked one for a day.

I chortled :laugh:

yep, you are spot on. the only hurdle really is the non-adjustable steering column but they have tiny steering wheels which helps. at 6"4 you'll be fine. I'm 6"2 so bugger all difference.

dude, just ship her off with my girlfriend. let them do whatever the fk it is girls do. caterham would be awesome, but availability at spa etc needs to be checked in advance.

trust me, once you've paid the exorbitant hire fee for the day you WILL fit even if you have sit on the roof and steer with your feet!!! while ron was trying to talk us into their brand new GT3 porsche (and we were crumbling) we looked at the lotus and troy and ron said to me, do you want to sit in one to make sure you'll fit for spa next week. I just said. don't worry I'll fit. if not, just cut my legs off at the knee!

We'll send them off in the direction of the nearest shoe store with a credit card (a maxed one... :whistling: ) and maybe we can get some peace... or an M3 to thrash the panties off!

Much the same as when I hired the Radical for the first time. I was sick, and it was raining all day but by God after forking out for the hire, flights and accomodation I was getting in that car! I like the idea of the Megane R26R around the 'ring, would be a hoot me thinks.

But buying and selling a car would be even better. I have family in England that could palm it off if I didn't have time to... hmmmmmm

I am pretty wrecked from a MEGA days driving. Will start a new thread in a day or two when I am nursing a hangover one morning in a hotel...but in the meantime. Check out the road in the background. Switzerland, Itlay and Austrian Alps all in one day. It was cool!

awesome! Reminds me of watching the Tour de France through the Pyrenees and Alps stages and thinking how much better it would be if the riders had to start at 30sec intervals and had cars instead of bikes...

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
