    I find that most of the time green cars just seem like they are going to be faster. Or maybe it just depends on the shade of Green?

    Green with envy. I think the closer the shade of green is to black, the faster the car gets. Hence the "lucky" times Iain keeps clocking.

    Nah, it's the bass boat flake in the paint that makes it go fast. That's where Stuart went wrong with his baby puke green kit car.

    It was fun and fast at PMS today....kudo's to Robert on a great course design! Big thanks to OZMDD for letting me co-drive his STR prepped MX-5...what a difference from driving a stock 1st gen Miata! It's giving me bad thoughts.

    Good job Robert

    If this is your first, you should do many more. It must be really hard to design a course at PMS that is as fast and flowing as the one I drove today.
