Hi Heath, you worked you magic on that Tuscan of yours then. Have you brought up the 5000 miles yet!
I'll likely call in for a couple of hours, but will probably talk myself out of going on the track. I dont want to go on with the standard set up because with the soft billy's and tyres it would wallow round the bends, but most of my usage is on the open roads so a softer set up is perfect.
Setting it up for the track would then make any road trips that bit harsher. Oh what a dilema.....

Just paid now on Oulton parks web page ... Not bad £129 for the full day and open pit lane. Not going to thrash it, more to set the dampers up.Try and get it corner weighted 1st if time. Car going good, a few tweeks to do. We got together with the Blackpool TVR CLUB over xmas and i covered 260 miles on the Lakes run... Mary hasnt done 260 miles for 10 yrs !! just a few more tweeks to do . Car running great and have sorted the nervous chassis feel out too that mk1 tuscans have
Hopefully see you Steve on the 22nd

It's just a Oulton park special offer from the website for Feb, all the £99pounds for Jan are nearly sold out. A mixed bag of cars may turn up but usually good ones. Just go on the Oulton park website to pay/book. It's very easy to do

I am going in the MX5 for a little practice. Mine is the primer grey one, if you can handle being seen speaking to me driving the hairdressers car then please come and say hello. 125BHP but it goes around there ok.

I hope it rains smile

I think I'll have to come down in the MX5 too, as the Tuscan race car won't be ready by then. Just had a set of Federal RSR's fitted as well, so should be good fun eh Paul?

I'm up for this but find myself in the strange position of not having a TVR to take so figure on giving the drift car its first proper track day, at least it won't matter if it rains + Graham might turn up in the RS6 biggrin
