Nice pics mate :)

Bet that was fun! How much was it?

[LUV2XLR8]

it was the best ?285 ever spent, and there was a well fit 22 year old lady instructor who could out drive everyone there (my ultimate woman) including phil price the owner lol. Never seen an escort sideways for such a long period. Its in mid wales, start at 9.30 and finnish at 5 - 5.30 and you get a lot of driving.

I went there for my 21st Birthday. The MkIIs are good fun on that skid pan thing. Sounds like you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Phil's funcking loon in that Cossie isn't he?

[Geth]

Just read the part about the female instructor. If she can outdrive Phil she must be outright scary to be in the car with.

[LUV2XLR8]

yep it was for my 21st too, she was amazing, think il go back and ask her to marry me lol
did you travel ar to go there?

phil kicks ass, hes done that trake over 28,500 times :P

Can't remember how far it was but I do remember being in the car about 1.5 - 2 hours getting up there. And that was with my dad hammering his scooby up over breccon. Well worth it though.

It's amazing how much you can learn in one day. I remember my first time out in the MkII when they just let have a go to see how good you are without tuition, I was just keeping everything neat and tidy (driving it like a FWD car). Then you go out with an instructor and he just keeps on telling you to keep your foot down when the natural thing to do is lift off. By the end end of the day I had the thing drifting like a Mo Fo :D

It's definatly their proffesionalism and ability to teach that makes it worth the money.

Yeah ive been to two of them, they were brill, went to one in Powys in Wales and won the best time, even beat a kid on a scholarship, ha ha, his parents looked gutted. Great pics!!

[SRlew]

that does look fun, always fancied doing one of these!

good pics

[strcnova]

Went to one near stirling for the day with college. Was good laugh. My lecturar was not impressed that i beat him as he did forrest rallies and i did tarmac. Even the instructors were asking me to back off as i was getting too quick for my own good!!:( :(

Really do like rwd cars but its getting to much to build a good one and go rally with so will stick with the nova:) :)

Looks like a good laugh, I want to do the council subsidised driving skills course at Goodwood, I'm sure it will be a good way to improve my driving, especially having skid pan fun in old Sierras lol

[draper]

they do similar in nottingham, its called joyriding lol

looks like a fun dayout, i wouldnt mind doing something like that as part of my stag-do
