Thus dictating my supercharged ST170 (which sounds distinctly jet like)that can be heard clearly half a mile away from the unit *might* not pass...

Time to solve this me thinks

it's quieter than mine Wil and i've only failed Bedford's static test

Money is too short to commit for now, but have never driven Oulton and it's Cheshires local circuit, will have to see. Maybe go to watch

To book/pay simply go to www.focusedevents.com

Passengers are £10 extra.

There will be pro drivers available to give you some tuition. If you've never been on track before it would be well worth your while getting one to go out with you to show you the ropes.

The website says there are 30 places left, but as it's open pit there are plenty more than that availiable!

I very much doubt it will sell out by the time the big fella's back!

You should book it as an incentive to make sure you get it finished!!!

I can't really hold places, but there are lots available mate.

Maybe, but there's no guarentees. Sell it and get yourself a proper car, you've got plenty of time
