Tis KH of course, so as long as it is not mist or snow, (both of which I never got on track for), at least we will get on track.

Clare is coming down with me, you were not there when she came along for the HM session, so she is looking forward to getting out with you in the Atom. Also you as well Mass. She loves your striped baby blue Exige.

She has driven N3 on the track and handled it fine once she realised that she had to brake for corners, but it is not the ideal car for learning on, left hand drive, awkward gearbox, too much power. If any of our more experienced carefree drivers would like to give her some instruction in their cars, then she would be really chuffed.

If we have an instructor on hand then I could use him, but again, mine is not the best Newbies car.

ps She has just broken up with her longtime boyfriend so needs cheering up. Will get a few cocktails down her at the Noodle Bar.

Lets hope the forecast improves for saturday. Us 4wd guys have it too easy in the wet!

Still looking forward to it regardless of the weather. It would be nice not to be freezing cold and soaking wet. Big respect to the guys in atoms etc at the cold wet knockhill days.

Tut, looking forward to seeing you and Clare there. There are going to be 2 x Club racers on Sat.

Hope it will be dry, but wet track is fun too.

If dry, it will be great if you and Andy could take me out on your cars.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

How mad am I that my car is not booked on this weekend. :shock: :lol:

Forever being told it's a point and steer car so would make an excellent beginner/learner. :thumbsup

//Off to put on my new tires incase I manage to blag half a session faction//

Don

There are bound to be mechanical failures, so unlikely that you would not get on.

Really looking forward to Sat now guys

Altho, I just got new Proxies fitted, (as old ones were f*ck!d), and the front wheels feel sh!te now, loadsa wobble on the steering, don't think the wheels were balanced right :evil: Needless to say I'll not be back there again

I've asked Ronnie at Wheels Around if they can give them a quick balance & check tyre pressure before I go on the track, and he says he'll do what he can if not too busy :D

Hope the weather is good, but think it'll be all seasons in one afternoon, shades & wipers on :lol:

Cheers,
Pete :thumbsup
