ha ha mike had been winding me up all week about a "prezzie", turned out to be the win sticker, epic!  we all had them too so nobody messed with out ftmfw gang  :grin:

TC I would love to tell you more but "what goes on track stays on track"  :signLOL:, actually me and mike stayed away from each other, were a "little" competetive and it could have ended in tears, I was even kind enough to share my secret fuel as a sign of mutual respect (it was origionaly going to be a supprise trick but I couldnt hold my water)

I do you are correct, my car is nearly ready, brakes going on Monday then its no excuses left.  :ashamed: :laugh:

Just need to make sure the brakes clear my track wheels then its on with the R888's. A couple of lessons are a must before i think i am Nigel Mansel though.  :scared:

They're a bit of an oddball wheel, a Magnesium OZ Monte Carlo - pukka motorsport rather than your off the shelf jobbie. No issues with brake clearance.

Same as these.

Sideways yo!

Thanks a lot for the comments guys, If you haven't done a track day I cant reccommend getting out on track highly enough.  Im sure we all have little spurts of "spirited driving" on the roads, well this is just like that but legal.  Its perfectly safe as long as you know your own limits and obey the rules designed for everyones safety.  The wear and tear on the car should only be consumables and limited to how hard/often you track.

I would also like to point out that my car is my pride and joy, and by no means treated like a track slag.  It also gets the usual claybar/wax/shiney bits that the reglar gti owner would offer his pride and joy.

Danza.......... rockingham is well too far away, lets do a 30-130 day before then  :driver: FTMFW

30-130 = Yawn - straights are for gays (so to speak)

Now, I could be talked into Cadwell next month for £89, open pit...
