Thread: Newbie in Derby

  1. #1

    Newbie in Derby

    Hello

    I'm in the process of getting a Williams and should be looking at a couple over the weekend. I've had a strict diet of Elises and Exiges over the past few years with a Honda S2k and 172 Cup thrown in for good measure ! but have decided to get something a little more practical over the winter whilst i save for next elise - which will be a little supercar tamer !

    Anyway just a few question.

    Ill want some of the Williams logo mats - where can i get some ?

    Interior Re-trims - anyone had one done and in what colour/material ? Im thinking a black/blue 2 tone alcantara ? or maybe just put some cobra's in ?

    Service Intervals -what are they ?

    Reliability and MPG ? This will be my everyday car till spring time.

    Trackdays ? How fragile are they ? Will I break it ??

    Is there an FAQ section here ?

    How quick will it be compared to my old cup which to me felt about 20bhp off the pace ? I'm going to need more power aren't i ?

    Is there a decent independent specialist in the midlands ?


    Think thats about it ! I know i should search the archives but thought id say hello at the same time :D

    hello and welcome mate, i'm from alfreton about 10 mins from derby.
    mpg - i can get 35+ if i take it steady, but thats not very often
    everybody will tell you different regarding reliability, ive had my valver as a daily driver since may and she's never missed a beat (apart from not starting after i got back off holiday, but it was stood 3 weeks so its understandable)
    if you get a decent looked after example you shouldn't go far wrong.
    loads of people on here do trackdays with them, the cars love it :P

    Cheers fellas.

    There seems to be a good selection available at the moment. I've talked to a few people so hopefully should be in possesion soon. If so then might possibly do Donnington on the 29th . £99 !

    Hi mate - shame you couldn't stretch to buying 0062...

    Oh well - you must miss your motorsport elise though - that was mint

    And as mentioned above - any work you need doing, Hill Power is the place for all your Williams needs!
