Default Tracked My S for the first time 23rd May

My driving buddy TINTOP asked me if I would like to join him on an evo magazine track evening at Bedford Autodrome. Don

That sounds a lot of fun MQ, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've said it over and over about how important instruction is and haw much more enjoyable it makes the whole track experience.

Add to that an obvious willingness to listen and learn, and you have a great time.

Come to Anglesey in October!

Bugger me I thought it was going to go all Mills and Boon for a second

Glad you had fun

Well done MQ and Tintop

Sounds like you both had fun, which lets be honest is the highest expectation any of us should have when on track

Nice to see you in On topic as well

Got the bug then MQ?

Instruction is really worth the money, especially if you are a woman.

That's not a sexist comment, it's a comment on the fact that women listen to car instruction because they know they have stuff to learn. Men don't because they think they don't have anything left to learn. But they (we) all do.

I'm just tight with my money and don't want to spend it on lessons. It does make plenty of sense though, and something I should invest in.

Absolutely. As a tightarse, if you think that actually spending the money on lessons means you get more enjoyment for your money from trackdays then it becomes cheap
