Hers or mine? Hers, yeah - she got it 8 days before that track session (and I bloody washed it the night before). Mine - you may have inadvertantly posted the funniest thing on the forum today!

SIDC days a free mate, just get signed on as a passenger and wander round the pits.
How do I get signed on as a passenger? Sorry but I am all new to this game last Sunday was first day at knockhill. As I have the 1.4 the last place that will go is a race track ahaha!

If you are there in time 8.30 ish you can get signed in at the drivers briefing, if you are later its usually in race control above the pits. Follow the crowd, or just ask.

Last breifing was in Kinnairds Restaurant, would expect we will be in there or the media centre next door.
Drivers sign in starts from 8.15 and breifing will be aprrox 8.30 after that you can sign on as a passenger by speaking to the guys at the front who did the breifing.
No cost, just your name and address to say that you have heard all the rules (there are a few do's and don't's passengers need to hear too) and they will give you a wristband to get you on track. No problem having the bird, get her signed on as well, more people to scare the merrier.

Ahhh sounds good mate. So just head up park up. Be in the restaurant for about 8ish listen to the dnt pull handbrake turnes, dnt try 360's dnt jump in front of moving cars on track etc go to the front and sign on and then try speak to some of you guys. Im easy to spot sort of a gone wrong mullet, bit like a hedgehog spiky longish hair although probs have bedhead at that time in morning haha and a tired moaning blonde girl.!

Didn't J33ama post up a while back that he was thinking of trading up at some point in the future?

Perhaps you could do a deal on his next year, if it fits the bill.

enough of the gayity - no roof, windscreen, doors, windows, abs or talent masking SC here, just an Atom :thumbsup

S2's - better built, better daily driver, easy car to learn to track, very controllable on the limit, abs

S1's- rarer, louder, more extreme, engine rebuilds and hgf issues may follow, but they are meant for the track

Both awesome cars though. I love them both :D

Tough call :roll: :wink:
