Good video dave. Few ooops moments there for couple of people and a change of underwear needed. lol. That elise could fairly shift too.
Yeah fantastic track day machine - however, you wouldn't want to use it to go down the shops. I helped MOT one once - just getting in is a mission.
Glad to see you got a bit of a squeal on as well...!!!

The eternal tuning question - not easily answered is how to retain the luxury feel, looks & practicality vs. usefulness as a TDM & further more keep the costs down too. I guess that is why it keeps me interested. I have to say that my C70 has earned her stripes this last week - 2 track days, a RR day (making over 300 horses) and getting there and back. Cost me a fortune but I keep grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Certainly beats working for a living.

Power and comfort, i suppose a big difficulty is getting the suspension right.
A good chassis might help too & no I don't plan to remove the A/C (I just leave it turned off). Suspension does help & an understanding of how to get the best out of FWD on the track. I have spent a ruddy fortune on the former - not mentioning the LSD.

Our cars with there big sofa like seats and all the electrics in are never going to be as fast round a track as things built specially for it but like you said dave your C70 has earned her stripes this week and youve travelled all those miles in luxury and comfort.
good vid dave, were you listening to michael jackson?
T'was an excellent day and all you's who didn't go in the end i feel for ya lol
Guilty as charged Simon, LOL - cha'mon hee hee MF!
