Default Jimbos big day-UPDATED

As Jim has now mastered the power of his escort (78 bhp) I think. I thought its time to move him up into something a little faster, so I have booked a track day at rockungham raceway tomorrow for him to drive the 600 bhp escort of scs, He has had a few goes at bruntingthorpe and got the FFd gearbox sorted so lets see how it goes .
Cant understand why he was a bit shocked when i told him.

Bless him, he must love you!

I suspect he isnt going to cane it round for the fear of stacking it?

Wish my dad was this cool, he drives a renault scenic

You will indeed earn alot more respect if you don't force people into picking up body parts from the track!

Very jealous Jimbo as I'm sure alot of people are! Make sure you enjoy it!
