No problem with car sharing, though the price is per person.


I'm supposed to be working until 11 the night before :( Should get out of that ok though :thumbsup

Dezzy, the club don't have helmets for borrowing or hire, I'm sure we can work something around sharing.

Dezzy in sharing sweaty helmet shocker :shock:

You can pick em up for as little as £35 mate. Like brakes, not something I'm happy to skimp on though ;)

Yup - forego your latest Macbook (I know you'll be foaming about the Air) and get a bonce-potty instead. Good investment to avoid nasty niffs on trackdays....

I agree about not skimping in the helmet costs, and that's why I can't really afford one just now. Impending mortgage and need every penny towards that. Will see if I can maybe get one for around £100 before this though. Those ones at £99.99 advertised on the homepage of that website look alright.

I bought a pair of unused ones from Skeggsy on eBay for £35.

I would not even wear one on track if I did not have to, it does not help my neck, so got the lightest ones I could.

Last part of my body that I need to worry about is ma heid, and after writing off the original N1 TUT on the road, I can not imagine doing anything worse on track.

ps regardless of the above, my advice would still be to get a good helmet, but if it complies with BS6658, no need to spend a fortune.

If you intend to track your car often, its a good idea to get the best helmet you can afford. I have a full face carbon fibre one which is very light and strong.
