(Probably at Brooklands, something like the Mercedes Experience. I think it includes skid pan etc. My neighbour is a tutor and used to be an instructor at the Nurburgring so hoping for 'mates rates'. :lol: I'll report back. :thumbup: ).

Not yet. As ever, things written on my 'to do' list keep getting reordered...by a familiar hand. :lol:

But, there's a hint of spring in the air and this is a timely reminder. :thumbup:

I'd be interested in doing another car-driving "experience" at some point. I think I can claim to have done a skid-training course* prior to ever driving a manual car before! (post A-level jolly organised by school)

I'll see if I can have a word with my neighbour and let you know what the score is with the Merc thing. Be fun if it was more than just me. :thumbup:
