Well it's been ages since I updated this post and there have been a few little changes to the car over the last few months so here goes.

First of all I've managed to save some more weight by removing the windows, wing mirror motors, all the wiring, door skins and side impact bars. All together that's a saving of about 20kg's. I replaced the windows with some pre made polycarbonate items from http://www.acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I cannot recommend these enough.

The company is great, really good to deal with and the product is great, nice quality and a great fit.

So with the windows fitted we went to snetterton for a sneaky Trackday on the 300 circuit. It was a wet day but still lots of fun. I did get a video of the last two laps of the day when it was just drying out.

So I still love the car, it's so much fun. It lives in the workshop most of the time, then we drag her out and after a quick service it loves being thrashed around the track all day, never misses a beat, and then goes back in the workshop. It's brilliant.

I've also got another new toy, a nice little Boxster S 3.4. It's lovely, but the puma is still the most fun. I'll never sell this car, it's just far too good!

Thanks for reading.

Here's the fleet (FRP, Boxster and the daily Mondey 2.2 TDCI)
