Good Lad...

Mike, i was talking bout this the other day, sunday infact.

Went to a bike track day and the metro was putting in better lap times than most R1's and GSX-R's all day

Road Bikes aint fast round dono.

Just for Mike tho, Sharpy has done more laps round dono than most

Seriously, anyone know the answer to this as we enquired in the early stages about getting the Evo in and were told that only RS's were allowed on track.

C&B and Gary, sorry but thats total bollocks.

If your a member you book on track, as far as i know it makes no difference what car you take on as your a paying member.

If you weren't a member then thats different....

Maybe you should ring up now as there are places left for sat

Christian,
That is correct, but Martin went through the back door and has bought PON's pass, you could always see if you can buy Marco's as he is having some misfortune... .

I was taking the pish, as I assumed you were, so no need to comment, as we'll see on Sunday?

The car in front is a Metro .

Surprised you weren't there first as there was a Back-door involved.

So Sunday is full then??

Whats the score with your pass, Marco? Sorry to hear you are having bad luck. Hope you sort it, but if you don't and the pass can be used by Gary, then please let us know. He is absoutely gagging to get his Evo on track!!

That would be missing the point mate! its a bit of a laff that looks like a Granny mobile and has a Rover 100 badge. It still has full interior and looks like a shopping car. Won't even put bigger wheels on it as thats a giveaway!

its not that mad really Paul to be honest. Just a warmed up 1.8 VVC engine, an LSD with some MGF suspension and brakes. Doesn't weigh alot and hangs on well around the bends. Great fun little thing that looks soooo pony!
