I would say I understand your pain, but I think you'd win on the "something's wrong with the car again" game
At least it hasn't gotten Acme levels of bad yet

The sooner you start the sooner you know how much vaseline you're going to require

From sitting in Neil's (can't remember whether it was an Exige or Elise) - I don't really fit. My knee on the gearstick means I could only select 1st or 2nd gear, and I had to fall out of the car to get out of it!

Presume VX220 Turbo would have the exact same issue then.Turbo MX5 with dialled in suspension

I started bending over months ago
I'm not sure if there is a pot of vaseline large enough!

Turbo MX5 with dialled in suspension
Never sat in the drivers seat of a VX but I remember being touching shoulders with the nice chap who took me out in one on a meet (Lordmike?)
I barely fit in the MX5 (knee nearly touches the steering wheel with a pretty severe foamectomy) and it's my daily driver so won't be touching that for a while at least.

I put my XJ up for sale.

So acme like is that proper launch control or have you like broken your corolla?
Caporegime
Thought the video made it clear haha.
Its not launch control, the switch isn't plugged in. Its in limp mode and the limiter is at 3000RPM.
Nothing serious. Just two broken wires on the MAF plug.

Not quite today but I fitted 4 michelin Pilot Super Sports to my new Mini Cooper S.
Wow! what a difference they are to the standard Dunlop runflats!!
Bought another JCW alloy from ebay with a tyre and got a can of tyre weld for the boot. The spare wheel will live in the garage till needed.

I thought it was funny!

Weren't these the Ditchfinders, before it became the accepted nomenclature for any crap tyre?
I think so yeh and they certainly earned their rep. They were *the* worst tyres I have ever had.
p600 not 6000
I'm assuming the P600 was the predecessor? If we accept that generally the successive model is better than the one before, I can't even begin to imagine how bad the Pirelli P600 was.
Caporegime
Tread pattern on the P600 was totally different. Late 1980's it came out.

Gave her a quick wash this morning, just before it rained. It's not perfect, but not too bad for 15 years old

Changed a lil since I saw it.
In before the haters... haha
"Fixed" my MAF wires. Bye bye fake launch control!
Got a new plug on the way but for the mean time, working > pretty.
