Unlikely to be there as the MR2 has just decided to start pissing coolant everywhere.

I'm going to be in my dark blue BMW 325i saloon.

The arrival and sign on is at 15:30 according to the email I got. Don't forget to print and fill in your indemnity form, it makes the process a whole lot easier.

I'll probably aim to be there at about 3pm or earlier tbh.

What are you in Paddy? Oh yeah, and you won't need a visor unless you don't have a windscreen.

It was a good day.

I started off crap and the car certainly isn't as good as the last two cars I've used... but the instructor taught me to drive around the foibles.

I'm thinking a caterfield type car would enable me to make much more use of my newfound instruction based driving skillz! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I was doing that the first couple of sessions (I've got some seriously massive rubbery bobbles) and then I went out with the instructor who taught me how to not do that... which was quicker but felt slower. Interesting stuff, kinda keen to go back and try it a bit more now that I know what I'm supposed to be doing (which is basically stop taking a bike line and take a car one!).

Got an MOT in 2 weeks though, wondering if shagged up tyres like that are a fail. Confused

This time next year I'm difinatly buying my own car, that way the boss can't tell me off for taking the company car on track. Not that I would do that sort of thing Embarassed
Sounds like you all had a great night Smile
