you do track days now then?
didn't roll it on silverstone roundabout mate no, rolled it on the way to silverstone for ford fair 08. back end stepped out on a slight bend (had 2 roads joining at the apex), it had been dry for weeks and was slighly damp so was a bit greasy. the copper said it as an accident black spot aswell and that most people do about 70 round there. i was doing 60 as i'd spent 2 weeks prepping the car and didn't want to destroy it but hey ho these things happen. i was just unlucky it rolled as i snaked down the road and onto the grass (just missing a sign post by mm's) and it decided to roll just before hitting the hedge, was going so slow by then it didn't even make a complete roll.
never mind, was a good excuse to upgrade to the focus i've now had for 2 years 8) and yes i'm with fordtorque.
oh and last year i only managed 1 track day due to final year of uni but did a few the previous year.
anyway how are you mark? i remember meeting up with you once when you had your rs2000.
