    Bouncy? Lol.. I insured my red GTT (new daily driver) yesterday, and the suspension is so bouncy! I've got Spax dampners and springs. I might have to get Koni's, but they're like.. £500

    what about the stenston bubble, famous for jap car meets, next to the canal, and if the weather sucks then its very nice indoors with leather sofas open fire and a pool table.

    its just off the a38 between burton and derby
