Neil McKeann "Racing Driver" tip no. 1
Horse f**k out of your car and break it so often that your reputation as a speed god spreads without you having to turn a lap..... Then blag like a b*stard...
...oh, and keeping Walshy in Guiness for a few years helps

Ok Heres the link to my very amateur vid
http://www.pistonheads.tv/clip721
Would like to apologise for the following
1 no sound
2 did not focus on rear facing shot
3 there is a bad edit (i think) where it jumps a corner ? not sure though
4 music that might not be to everyone’s taste
Promise next one will have sound and be much better
Anyway it shows the new layout well

Great video, and looks like mucho fun!
Really must get my self sorted out and go for it - only had the Elise three weeks and don't think I'm really ready for that yet.
I presume I'd have to get trackday cover added onto my insurance - must give them a call and see how much it would add on.
Good one, and as for the music, no problem at all, must go and look it back out myself - haven't heard that in ages.

I think the music could be called a classic
If you have probs with your insurance co you can get single event cover but it pricey
Also KH do an advance driving course which is around £90 for an hour 1-2-1 quite good to see what it can do

Hey Jamie
Looked good mate! I think you were being a bit harsh on yourself

Where did you mount the rear-view camera?

Exige looks pretty awsome with all the fettling now! I asume you are pleased Jamie ?
Mr Spook, the £90 session at KH is well worth it in my book for a complete novice, as i was and still is! You get a good idea of the lines and you get to see what the car car do. Makes you feel less out of your depth on your first proper track day.
Oh and Leftfield = classic

Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Over the moon would not be a stretch.
Inspires confidence.
