I have been noticing that corners come at you quicker these days. I think roads are getting faster. Anyone know of some slow roads I can drive. Slow corners would be good too.

Just out of interest, has anyone got any idea of the top speed that anyone has dared to go in a seven. I regulalrly hit 110 in mine but can`t say that it is the most comfortable of situations, better with the doors on.
It was nice to meet you all at Stoneleigh.
