OK OK, I'm trying to keep it conservative. I've just finished the K Flux conversion, the way it links into the Palm Pilot is just unreal. Now can have rear end flames whenever I want.
BRING ON BEDFORD!!

Just a thought has anyone ever asked for a discount from Bedford???
Or do you just pay the asking price
Its a buisness after all.
Are people actually queing up to book days???

Its a case of "you pay this price else it will go to someone who will" - speak to Liz at palmersport since I reckon she will be keen to sell it now, might get a steal.

I was covering a day at Bedford on Saturday (their first solo effort I understand) and a good day seem to be had by all, except maybe for the '02 M3 which blew up, and the 348 with transmision failure.
One of the best things about the day was the range of cars there. Apart from a Clio, a Puma and a TT, there loads of Ferraris, a few TVRs, a Morgan Speed 8, more Porches than you could shake a stick at, M3s, an S class!!!!!!!! and my personal favourites, a Jaguar C type, and a GT40 (well GTD) However, the only Subaru there was mine
Although I don't drive on the track, it really is a pleasure to see a good range on a trackday.

hypoluxa,
Re the M3, that was the second new M3 to blow this year, on the same bit of track. For those who know the track, it's between turn 7 and 8. People I've spoken to suggest that the speed of turn 7 (+the two previous quickish corners) is causing oil starvation.
I always got the impression that BMWs were bullet proof, but having spoken to one of the other M3 owners on the day, engine failure is not that uncommon. His last one had blown too!

There you go Lee and Phil all the answers you need to put the day back on.
You know I dont have the contacts to lay it on at this late hour.
Get it sorted and put some faith in your abilities.
Or give me all the details and I`ll see what I can do.
But with a month only to go I think I will struggle.

Think you'll find that when it comes to being a **** you're in the front of the queue. Why start a thread saying "NEW Bedford Trackday" and post up "I'm thinking of taking the day on myself"
when CLEARLY from your post above this you had no intention of doing so.
The event was open for all and sundry to sign up for. Its been promoted on all the BBSs and emails to members. Suggest therefore how we may wave a magic wand and "promote" it better.
Its just the same as Trax - IF THERE IS NO DEMAND THEN THERE IS NO DEMAND. PERIOD.
