Title: Cosmo at Classic & Sportscar Action Day
Post by: Tim_Burgess on January 13, 2004, 11:36:24 PM
A friend of mine took this Pic of the car in the Paddock at Castle Combe last August at Classic & Sportscar\'s Action Day. As the Missus has got an MX5 I tagged along with them & nicked a space in their display.

I hardly got to see anything due to the massive interest in the car. But I did find out that Combe is a very narrow circuit in a car this big. Spun in the chicane just after Quarry. Now that was scary.

Nice one Tim, good to see a Cossie up and running, and on the track - cool baby!

Make sure you get her out and about at all the meets this year!

I\'ll definitely be at Japfest as Its ony 25mins from where I live. Don\'t know if I\'ll take her our again, Combe\'s a bit narrow in a 16ft barge.

I\'d like to do Rotorstock but I\'m on call that weekend. As it\'s a bank holiday I\'ve got more chance of a snog with Claudia Schiffer than swapping with someone but I\'ll do my best.

Hi Tim,

Real real Shame you can\'t get along to Rotorstock as l am sure your gorgeous car would have been one of the Stars of the Show hopefully you can come along to a few more events this year as this car will bring a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people, well once they have worked out what it is !!!!

Lovely car mate, if it were no for the terrible fuel consumption I would definitely have one.

Maybe I\'ve just got a light right foot but I have seen nearly 25mpg on a steady run up the M4. Drive it hard and the mid teens is probably more like it.

As a motorway muncher it\'s brilliant - totally effortless

Yeah, the 13B\'s arent that bad Bri - you KNOW u need one to compliment that 4x4 thingy you have! ;)

Course, you gotta get a 20B\'d one and go single turbo really...
