:shock: :shock: :shock: That would be just a tad more than I'd expect to pay for a metal wing then.

Of course I wont be buying new parts from Renault! I am hoping they write it off and give me cash and the car. As for repairing it....I'm so pissed off with the whole thing right now I'm not certain I can even be bothered.

Peter, be bothered and keep your pecker up man. If you have had a couple of downers there will be some uppers coming along soon. I was hoping to compete with you on the IOM as well as Prescott. Especially at Prescott and to see you compete with boastrider too. I'm really looking forward to this years outings.

I'm afraid you may be disappointed.....at the minute I feel like buying a bike engined single seater and an interesting road car rather than toiling on with the GTA. If I do there may be some juicy bits up for sale.
I am down to do promotion exams at work this year and could do without another summer of trouble.
Boostrider isnt going to turn up at Prescott anyway!!!!
Whatever happens I will still stay on the forum...when I can afford 3 cars I think I will have an atmo as a Sunday drive and polish car!!! :D

Pete - I know Tony's had his ups and downs with his beast. I've had it with my DeLorean. There's still nothign like sliding behind the wheel of MY car. Nothing will ever live up to the feel of your baby. This is why I've sold the Skyline and am spending money on the DeLorean. I don't care that it's not that fast, it's my pride and joy and everything else is a distant second. Do what you know to be right and prove me wrong about the trigger :D

Seconded.

Don't give up on the Alp. Pushing the limits of what the car can do and developing it from a road car to racer was always going to have ups and downs - one way or another something was bound to happen.

Point is you've had a lot of success with the car and it just proves its abilities and yours.

As David pointed out the Europa cup cars were not far off the pace of an F40, which is staggering and shows the potential in the design. Yep you could go for a Radical or some such but it's a whole new ball game and c'mon you know you'd only get bored with how easy it'd all be!
