i might go to work in the morning to clean the car , but as it is only 2 minutes from the Marriot , i'll still be there on time for the afternoon session

Not sure what time I'm going to make it... but it'll be before 1.00!

postmanpat · 27-01-2007, 18:23

Thanks John. Excellent afternoon.

Q. How much fun can you have in a Ford Sierra at under 30mph with your clothes on?

A. Lots

What a hoot. Highly recommended to all.

Still gutted that the testosterone got the better of me twice on the timed laps.

Thanks John for your efforts in organising this

What a brilliant day.

Thanks for organising this John, that's definately the most fun I've had in a Sierra with my clothes on.

The most scary bit was the ABS test. It really does show what a superb safety feature it is.

I fancy doing the second course where he teaches you do-nuts and J turns.

Here's a few pics from the day and a short vid of Steve the instuctor messing about.

Harumph!

postmanpat · 12-01-2008, 12:25

Bloody glad I did this, and so should Royal Mail be after today

, Hit sheet ice going downhill into a 90o junction, was only doing maybe 5 - 10 mph but ABS cut in as soon as peddle touched and van going straight on despite lock

Must have subconscioulsy(sp) remembered some of the training as managed to get round corner as if nothing was wrong

which honestly suprised me

faboka vrs · 12-01-2008, 12:47

The course must of worked then

daiking · 12-01-2008, 12:52

No chance of another?
