Merry new year to all.
What i have noticed is that a school outside gainsborough is been given a best value for money award by atuo express,
At the moment it is £109 per week day and £129 weekends.
Apart from cracking price offers both gravel and tarmack stages. engoyable open veiwing areas for gests good on a tight budget.
Wondered Who fancys a go.
Not tryed it or any part of it but if we can get a few we maybe able to get a discount!
I am going to give it a blast as well as a mate from cheltenham any others, could tie it in with a meet as well
Notts lot?
Hull lot ?
not to far
steve

PS off for a look on friday

Hi Steve,

Keep me informed.

I would be more interested in the Prodriver course using the Scoob rather than the Golf. Still only a half day course but a good cheaper alternative than a full days course.

Regards,

Neil.

No worries guys, thank for the kind words.

It was not unexpected, it is actually quite a relief and I am looking forward to getting my teeth into something different, even allpied for the sales job at my local Scooby dealer.....now that would be cool no?

Steve

for info chaps, what do you think
steve

Dear Steve - Thank you for your enquiry. We do have Imprezas that we use on
the tarmac . If you could mail me your address I can send you a copy of the
brochure with all details or alternatively you can contact me at the office
- 01430 827162.
Any Impreza owners can also use the circuit to bring their own cars or you
can use our cars but we would be limited on numbers as we run groups of 3
drivers per session. We could therefore only take 3 in the morning and 3 in
the afternoon . We couldnt run a large group all together unless you wanted
to come and do a full day where you drive Golfs on loose and BMW and Impreza
on tarmac as well as other driving activities inbetween. Cost for this is
£179 pp and includes lunch , refreshments with a prize for the best overall
driver as we do timed runs.

Best Wishes - Ruth

Stephen,

I'd be interested in order of preference:-

(1).Using their Impreza.
(2).Using my own (Scoob).

Or better still can we incorporate both, say morning using their car and an afternoon using our own? That way you learn some driving techniques in their car and make the mistakes in their car. In the afternoon you can then refine these techniques to get the best out of your own car.

Damian.
