Not quite the same, but yesterday the track car I half own with my mate came to my house to stay for a bit for the first time since I reshelled it 3 years ago. Took it for a blast this afternoon, its not as rapid as my turbo car, but the stiffness from the cage and hence handling more than makes up for it.

Mine has been off for nearly 6 years. Mot'd it last week and taxed it on the first. I drove it for two hours then it broke so never got to take it to pugfest which was the intention.

 

Didn't see your car yesterday kate

Mine has been off the road since the Tax ran out end of April. Just as I was about to re-tax it the bugga won't start (electrical issue) now.

 

I'm starting to miss it badly, must look out the brown multi-plug guide or something soon....!!!

 

Hoping to be back on the road later this month at the latest.

Mine had been off the road since the end of 2009 sitting underneath a car cover. The other day I got the train home, started it up first time and drove it 180 trouble-free (albeit pretty noisy) miles down the M4 to Wales, where it was put in a garage, and will probably be off the road for another 6 months :o
