I've just had my CONGRATULATIONS e-mail from Toyota on track saying I have been selected to test their cars at Brands Hatch, all I've got to do is ring them up with licence number and book my 1/2 day either Friday PM, Saturday AM/PM or Sunday AM/PM.

I don't suppose it'll harm to thrash a car round a track, nice one.

Oh right, that'll be because those of us under 25 (I'm 22) don't buy new cars... oh.. except that new pug I brought a year ago... and that new scooby I brought 6 months ago.

Gives you an idea of what I thought of the pug too

Ed, I suppose it's one of the many downsides to being younger, more healthy, having more hair etc etc

Bob, no interest in buying a Toyota anyway so nuh!

Done two similar days with Vauxhall, one at Croft and one at Oulton Park. The track bit is OK, but they don't let you put your toe down too much. The other activities are best. When I was there it was karting, quad bikes, pilots, archery etc.

Steve

PS Just registered. Something for nothing!

the t-sport is a very sound motor. i tested one as the other half was going to get one and she wanted me to drive it. loads of grip and a very good chassis. the toyota salesman was a bit white after !!!!!!

dave

p.s. just registered !! a scooby mini-meet on the horizon !

So who's on track when?

So far myself and a couple of (non-Scoob-owning) mates on June 2nd in the afternoon (Brands I think)...

Richard


Pbone - ironic is an understatement!
