Anyone going to Bedford this Saturday?

[Alf Essex]

Will be going to Bedford for the first time this Saturday...will be there in a very colourful TVR Tuscan S. Just pray it passes the noise tests!

There will be a few of us in our TVR's...ehasler (Ed -Tuscan S) passed the test last time round so hopefully both he and I will pass this time round.

Alan - are you and Ed using standard cans or will you be running your CCC noisy jobs? Washy

I'd stand no chance in the CCC cans! lol So have already changed to the standard cans in prep for Saturday.

I'll have them on at Bruntingthorpe for VMAX on 21st March

m8 Bedford's a doddle. Quite a bit to learn but at least it's flat so you can see what's coming. If you like I'll sit with you for a few laps and show you the lines that work for me or have you booked instruction? Washy

I've booked 2 slots of instruction but happy to take a ride with you in that cool Cerb of yours

I'll be there in my Caterham - Alf I might have seen you last year if it was the 'Tuscan Trackday' at Keevil? I'm an ex-double Tuscan owner and an ex Tuscan S owning mate is also coming along in his VX220 Turbo. I'd say you guys will have a ball on the GT circuit as it's a power circuit so will suit your 400bhp (I've only got 135bhp to play with on the 1KM straight). The weathers even looking good at the moment (apart from the forecast of -8 Friday night) Anyway come over and say hello if you spot us there (blue Caterham with large 'PistonHeads' sticker down the side). cheers, Mike

Mike,

Yes that was me at Keevle on one of the hottest days of the year! I'll come and say hello....

Took the Tuscan S around Bedford today and what a great track! Had great instruction from Steve Lewis (TVR Tasmin Driver and instructor) would recommend him and has certainly improved my driving on the track today.

To top off the day I can't believe I went 5 laps with Justin Wilson in the JaguarJP1 (Le Man car) Justin's car control is just awesome...Pics following link;
