My Knockhill Track Day Misery.....Video!!
Discussion
The gearbox has just had the oil changed...old oil was like dirty water but not burnt! Gearbox is minted...just my mate was too impatient when changing gear!
It was a normal 'hot hatch' day at Knockhill, they have it every month that Knockhill organise.
It was mobbed that day, they had 5 groups of cars but only had around 10 cars per group, They should have had 20 cars per group and had 3 groups so that we had more track time...spoiled it really..if car had worked that is!!

You want knockhill misery, trying piloting a Porsche Cup car around there for a whole weekend with force 9 Man-flu!
The only bloody time I want a wet race weekend, at the track where it always rains, a whole fecking week of blazing sunshine and warm weather

Looked fun...till it broke.
I'm interested in using an auto car on a track day (have to drive auto) and have always worried how they'd cope...how have you found it?
My dad gave us the car for free.....so couldnt say no!I'm interested in using an auto car on a track day (have to drive auto) and have always worried how they'd cope...how have you found it?
The auto box is great...being a semi automatic, we can choose a gear for the next corner and hold the revvs through it. Changed the gearbox oil and filter so should see no problems for a wee while! Don't expect the car to last years, as long as we get the most out of it tbh!!
Knockhill isn't a fast course so should be ok for reliability for a few more meetings...i hope!!

God I miss my e39!
It looks like you are having a laugh.
There are many many better cars for track days but my dad insisted he wanted his pride and joy to be enjoyed more. Handles well for a big car, not the fastest but we get fun out of it...at the end of the day, thats what its all about!!! It looks like you are having a laugh.
