Scottish Elises

Got a mates stag do coming up and looking for something involving driving (bikes or cars)

He's just bought a Westfield and is looking to get better behind the wheel, so i've had a quick google for driving based days, but they all look to be the usual restricted nanny knockhill type crap.

One option is the Yamaha off road day in wales. Looks good, day out on WR450's. We're both ex motocross so that could be a goer.

With the Westy tho i'd rather try and get something car based 1st and use the wales day as a last resort.

So, any one know of a day out where 3-4 guys can get out on track or something in elises/cat's/westies etc?? Obviously not looking for a limp "ferrari driving experience" though.

On a side note......... had a good blast in his car the other day. Man!!!! I miss this bad!!!




































*****************edit, getting all misty eyed here*****************

Brings all the memories back. Ah, remember the good old days................ Gotta get a house with a garage and get back out with all the old faces

A few guys from here went to Fun in the Mud - http://www.scottishelises.com/phpbb/vie ... +road+bike.

Looks like fun.

Book yourselves in for a Walshy Carlimits day / weekend?

Theres a place up in perthshire somewhere that specialise in caterham and westfield driving weekends, by all accounts they know all the quiet wee backroads and have put together some awesome runs. Think they have more than enough runs that you could do two full days and not see the same road twice.

Only down side is that in rural perthshire you might be struggling for the mandatory duddleys and jacks or for a decent club for the more seedy side of the stag do!

you could try the Palmer Day at Bedford.

Absolutely epic

Cheers for that. Worth a look. Fancy something track based though so we can push it a bit.

None of us really drink, so having the car day for his closer mates, then maybe a night out in he town another tme for the bigger group of guys.

Do you mean Open Road Hire? http://www.openroadhire.co.uk/

Hire a couple of caterhams, drive up the west coast and camp/B&B. A couple of nights on the beer in some country pub. Sounds like a good way to see him off.

Or alternatively, Palmersport really is an epic way to spend a day - nothing limp about that, but at nearly a grand a head, not a cheap day out either...

Plus, according to Andy, when they knew he had held a race license, the gloves were off and they properly trusted you with the cars. From the extensive chat I got about it, would deffo be what you're looking for.

its the dogs danglies

And yes, they let you kick the ass out of them. I got a round of applause for drifting 3 consequetive corners, then passing another driver on the exit. Who else would encourage you to do that. And the FPA and JP1 - well - EPIC

Why don't you fly to Bratislava and drive our stag charriot back? Should still be at the dealership, swapped it for a keyring and a towel so don't pay any more than that
