I would also like to try out autotesting. Do you guys organize this type of thing?
:welcome

There are quite a few of us on here who have dabbled at autotesting over the years. It's certainly good fun, and a great way to hone your driving skills. Here's a wee clip of me playing in my elise; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zraBWVZddHM

Scottish Sporting Car Club (SSCC) (based in Glasgow) and East Ayrshire Car Club (EACC) run autotests. I used to be involved in running them, but have stepped back from it these days. If I hear of any events taking place I'll post up, and if you are going to any, let us know, I / we may pop along to take part too :thumbsup I'm happy to advise on a few wee tips for autotesting too.

Hopefully see you around and about in Glasgow. :thumbsup

Dom is typically modest. He's more than dabbled in autotesting!

Thanks Dominic! I will look into those clubs :)
Awesome car control there, the Elise moves around like nothing else. You can really see the lack of inertia compared to a normal car. I imagine myself changing into reverse there and losing somewhere between 1 to 20 senconds just trying to get it in!

Give it a go, you'll be surprised. I should also add; that was in one of those pesky Sport 135's that wants to swap ends all the time :lol:

That's twice I've been given the double-bird on here today - maybe I should take heed...
