I'm looking for storage for a car that's just going to be used for track days (no - it's not a scooby - decided my B4 was too big/expensive to risk on the track on a regular basis )

anywhere in the area would be OK - won't need to get access to it every day.

ps - anyone got any suggestions for insurance? - this car has roll cage, performance mods etc.. but is road legal. Don't know whether it will be cheaper to insure 3rd party for road use or to rent a trailer

Can't help on the garage I'm Ed but I can on the insurance.

I'm just researching the costs for putting together a 2nd car purely for track days myself. Performance wise I don't plan to do anything to start with - my initial budget will be safety stuff - roll cage, seats, four point harnesses, new pads + discs etc.

I tried Egger Lawson (aka Competition Car Insurance IIRC). They couldn't help on a modd'd 205 GTI as I'm under 30.

I've since qot a rough quote from Adrian Flux's moddified deparment :

Ed,

I think buying a trailer would be a more sensible route for a couple of reasons. The first is that the additional space created by taking another vehicle will be very handy for tools, spare wheels and tyres etc and secondly, what happend if you smash the car up on the track? If youve driven it there how are you going to get it home?

Oh, and another. You would have to drive the car to the track on road tyres, are you going to carry all your tools etc along with a complete set of wheels and slicks in the back of the race car?

All good points Bren - but we're trying to do this as cheap as possible. Insurance quoted at £367 from Adrian Flux. Certainly veering towards the trailer option though.

Don't really know how much a trailer costs - you can rent one for £30/day though

the car I'm looking at wil have plenty of room to carry stuff around, but it would certainly be more comfortable to drive in a car with suspension, stereo, A/C etc...

still need an extra garage though..

Give me a ring or pop in before Tuesday next week if you get chance, I 'may' be able to help with the storage issue?
