That sounds great, i'd definately be up for it, probably best if everyone puts their names down as a list? If you can find out more Dave then it'd be great then we could possibly set a date?
Please post if your still interested in going (as location has changed not sure about the southerners)
so far list is:

Ali
Steve P

cheers

Not sure how much abuse I want to give my nice 360, but I'll be a maybe. When you've paid a fair bit of cash each for a track or space you want your time to be used to the max as it were, but if it's cheaper and less formal I wouldn't mind just having a go and seeing how things went, then join in as and when I feel like it.

I'm down :)

I don't think you have to push the car too hard Pete...just as hard as you feel like. I'd certainly encourage people to take it easy, if in doubt. We're talking about daily driven cars, not trailer queens, so it helps if you can drive it home at the end of the day!!

Yeah, I know what you mean Foggy. My original GLT got daily abuse, but in a cared for way if you know what I mean! I had no problem taking it to the Pod, and I would have taken in on a track or course with no major worries. I looked after it, but didn't mind pushing it. Where as this one, it's just feeling like it should from new! And oddly I'm driving it very sedately, most of the time anyway! :twisted: But we'll see, I'm not one to shut a car away unused and scared to use it, but on the other hand I don't want to break it! Hmmmm......a few panels on my old car and a trailer to get it there...........lol, that'd work! Depending upon price, dates, etc, still a maybe.

Trek for you?!?!?! I'm not one who likes to race his car (;)) but does anyone live vaguely nearby who could put me up (or have a bit of driveway I can sleep in the car on!)? I'm keen, depending on price and sleeping arrangements, I'm guessing that it's gonna be over 200miles for me :( so I'm gonna have to sleep on it before a definate yes.
