Wilf,

Apologies - lost your thread due to the excitement on the forum last night. Mention HP to these guys over here and everything else is dropped.

As Les sensibly said anything above 400HP is neither practical or wise with the Speed Cops around ready to hand you down a fine.

Regarding where I will be in the UK etc. We fly into Manchester and then stay predominantly in Yorkshire (1st time back in 5 years). If you are in Leicester I doubt I will be able to persuade the family to make a detour. Shame, because I would'nt mind sitting in on a "black ice" spin.

The nearest I will get to a fast spin is my cousin's Lotus Elise, which he has promised me a drive after driving my Cobra last year over here (Different concept on cars in the UK - generally driven by the power to weight ratio. When a manufacturer refuses to put in electric windows as it only adds weight to the car you know they are pretty serious - at 700Kg's the Elise is pretty light).

Unless you know someone in Yorkshire who is willing to take the heated blankets off their Cobra I think I will be out of luck.

We've only 2 and a half weeks there so will be spending most of the time stood in front of a fire or downing John Smiths Magnet (real beer to Ozzie Lager Men).

How is that temperature at the moment (rising above zero) and when is the snow forecast again? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
