Never bothered saying as I assumed everyone else would be stuck at work

I almost text you during the lunch break to say how impressed I was with my car. Wish I had now

Amazing


Was shocked at how much it pushes you down as you go through the bottom. Think I am about an inch shorter today
Feel like I have a really nice line going through there now after been shown how to do it


Oh and you were right my car is quite suited to that track. Only need 3rd and 4th for the whole thing to allow it to stay in the power with only 5th needed for the main straight.




MJ: no I didnt have insurance on the track. For what you pay and what it actually covers its not really worth it imo.

Ollie yer definatly do it im tempted by another one between now and then too

some guy liked the sound of it too and asked what I had done to it after hearing me go down the back straight a few times

yer definatly after my instruction session I knew what I had to aim for and what habbits I had to loose.

Still cant get druids quite right I am still coming into the inside too early and missing the apex.

The track is a strange one, it looks really simple but finding the right lines is quite hard. I read a similar thing on Pistonheads where someone said exactly the same thing.

Where did you book the track day through Gav?

I was looking on trackdays.co.uk and then mark who I went with found the one we did through MSV.

Next one is in a couple of weeks and only £10 more. Might be tempted buy a taster session though. cant afford another full day just yet
