Why hasn't this sold out yet? Looks like fantastic value for money to me. So much so, I've put my money where my mouth is and booked a place for my sister and I.
Twelve drivers, four cars and four instructors.

I just spoke to the nice folks at carlimits. The day will be going ahead with the current numbers. So if you're interested in a real bargain day with lots of in car time, this is not to be missed. Get on the blower and give them a call.
This'll be my 4th or 5th time with them, so I'm sure it'll be a brilliant day.

Will be excellent if the student/instructor ratio stays this good!
If only I could make it down. 
Have been on a Car Limits day (albeit just the activity day) before though and would thuroughly recommend it. You get a lot for the money.

I am. Unfortunately I have 10 days holiday per year! Can't really justify doing something I could book for a weekend mid-week.

Thanks to Andy again for another brilliant day.
Not sure what I enjoyed most, but certainly some of the highlights were:
- seeing how quickly the scooby reduced the rear tyres to canvas
- trying to catch the elise r after deliberately putting it into a big slide
- J turning a boxster!
- watching my sister stall two cars off the line (especially as she was faster than the boys in the boxster!)

It was indeed a great day hooning around in someone else's cars, thanks Andy. 
The Elise was particularly hard to catch when letting go, and for me it was the most difficult car to drive on the limit. Really good fun though and very quick with the Toyota engine.
The Boxster was a lot more forgiving at the limit and at one point I even managed to catch a slide at full lock at around 75mph. First time i've done that in any car I think, so I was pretty pleased.
I found the Impreza to be by far the easiest to drive quickly, allowing you to be much more aggressive with the controls. It had stupendous levels of grip and pretty much went where you pointed it. It was more fun being driven round by Andy though as we were looking out of the side windows most of the time...4 up.
Thanks again for lunch noumenon, top man. It was also great to see your sister being so optimistic about making corners without braking during a couple of her hot laps! Her excuse was that Andy didn't tell her to brake . Still, she beat us both in the Boxster whilst laughing uncontrollably.
It's a shame there were no race cars on the day due to a broken gearbox and accident damage, but all credit to Andy for still running the day on his own, despite him needing an op on his shoulder. There's no stopping some people.
