General Chat / Re: Sticker order.
« on: May 29, 2018, 01:53:33 PM »
I ordered a sticker and keyring the day after I picked up the car so Thursday before last, got the email through middle of last week and then they turned up Saturday! I had become a bit apprehensive after seeing this thread, but I'm hoping it was simply a rough patch for them. Good stuff though, now I just have to figure out where I should put the sticker as it's designed to go on the inside of a window...

Got a confirmation email yesterday from the organisers, they're sending me the infield pass etc closer to the event once printed, and no extra charge or anything!

General Chat / Re: Fitting PZero Nero to a Abarth should be a crime

I'm in the very interesting situation of having not one, not two, but THREE different manufacturers of tyre on my APE. The right rear is a PZero Nero, right front is a Matador, and then the left side are another obscure manufacturer! I'm thinking of going for Dunlops or Goodyears as they are both roughly the same price, rated the same and I'm only doing some 'spirited' driving rather than thrashing the life out of it so don't need to be breaking the bank on performance tyres.

Do you like driving a manual or have you tried something with paddles and liked that? That's all any of us can say. Personally I would go for a proper manual, but I'm not you.  :D

I took my Supersport across a field at the weekend going to a rugby match, and it managed fine. It was a very rough field, but I wasn't really concerned for the car, never heard or felt it hit anything. It *should* be OK for you, as long as you aren't trying to play at being a Landrover!

Introductions / I've succumbed to the dark side...

Hi everyone!

I've just taken ownership of a Punto Evo SuperSport, and I'm in love! I'm so glad to finally have an interesting car after spending the last 3 years driving a Corsa Limited Edition (The most common model I swear...), and I'm really looking forward to getting involved in the community and events. So far all I've done is driven the car home from the dealership but it already has me hooked, finally a car that moves!

I've just picked up my APE SS, and am in contact with Silverstone to get myself an infield display pass. (I bought tickets in December...) So fingers crossed, I'll be joining!
