Boxer23 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 In the general forum a few of us mentioned about going away to a driving day across sometime. Anyone got any ideas of what sort of thing they'd like to do (drifting, track day, advanced driving etc) and who would be up for it?
Kristan Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I've done two advanced driving days with 1st lotus (guy named Andy, excellent bloke) - one in the FTO, the second in the scoob. Each day has been well worth the effort and expense, he's a fantastic teacher and a great driver. Some of the mainlanders on the boards organised a day with him not long back I think? I really fancy a bit of learning to drift properly, I think Option do stuff but I'm not sure. Normally RWD cars are better suited to this I think, though I suspect a DCCD equipped scoob would suffice
Boxer23 Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 I'd probably go for the 1st Lotus thing. Got any details mate? Drifiting, I think I value my tyres and clutch too much!! Ha ha ha

Boxer23 Posted October 2, 2003 Author Posted October 2, 2003 Post up any details you know so we can ring round and find availability, travel etc and sort out a little trip which we can all go on.
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Doh didnt realise I pushed enter!!!! 2 secs got some info on track days somewhere.......
Kristan Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 This is the first lotus one http://www.1stlotus.com/ Click on airfield training - this is what I've done, 4 drivers sharing at north weald in essex. It's easy to get to from the london area, definitely want a night either side though, with a good nights sleep the night before Can't find much about driting days, arse...
Boxer23 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Posted October 3, 2003 I like the sound of that one. Any others?
Kristan Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Out of interest one of the guys at work suggested a round driving trip to rally finland next year. As he puts it "only propper rally cars or drug dealer mobiles" (presumably m3/5 or 7 series bms & amg mercs). He's taking his evo (black 6, reg is VI MAN or something), I was going to take the scoob with two friends to share the driving etc.. Anyone else be (provisionally at this stage) interested? We will be having rally style stickers for the windows with driver names, possibly more if I get my way
Boxer23 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Posted October 3, 2003 Does sound like quite good fun. I'll be up for that (provisionally) considering you've got enough room.
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 AMG Mercs??? Whos taking my SLK! Lol! Ill be up for that! Count 2 of us in. Now all I got to get her to do is pass her test Lol! Ill be going in the Scooby Brum!
Boxer23 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Posted October 3, 2003 I've passed my test, cheeky git. And stop calling me 'she'!! Oh her....!! ha ha ha I'll take the SLK over for you mate! If you haven't tarted it out to Frankie.
