Talking

Spent the day with the legend that is Mr Don Palmer yesterday and Bruntingthorpe for a forthcoming Japanese Performance feature for later this year.

The guy is a great teacher and general all round top bloke. We took the 22B, the JP Project WRX that we fettled and my newly acquired "Flying banana" which seemed perfect for this kind of malarkey.

Learned more in one day, than I have in the last 5 years.

Big thanks to Don.. (www.donpalmer.co.uk).. TOYO of course.. for booting all the rides all day .. and Ian at Performance Wheels for their support..

DO THIS DAY people!!. Don was one of the guys that taught SDB.. and he's not a terrible driver

We have secured a deal with Don for all customers to get a preferential rate.. more details soon.













cheers guys

Best money you can spend on your scoob is not to spend it on your scoob, but spend the day with Don Palmer, he knows what he is doing and is a great driving coach. I learned a lot from Don and apply it every time i drive.

Don't believe everything you hear

Don is a pretty handy driver, but his main talent is in the coaching side, and is certainly one of the very best in the world IMHO.

A top class coach can coach any subject regardless of whether they know anything about it or not. It's just an added bonus that he's able to throw a car around as well!

Cheers
