Race track 4 sale

[iguana]

Looking through one of those expensive overseas properties for sale mags in the Doctors waiting room yesterday i found an ad for a race circuit for sale in Aix on Provance down in hot & sunny southern france-land.

There wasn't a price but as it consisted of a tasty looking track - it looked a bit cadwell pk 'ish' plus a blooming big house so it wouldnt be cheap, but hey all the PH'ers could club together, (im up for it, more fun than a pension anyway!!) or some of you Lambo & Ferrari driving city fly boys could buy it with your next bonus from ya stocks & futures dodgy dealings and let us all have a go......

Yes Yes Yes, I know a few people that would interested, find out the price and the mimimun stake and let us know

:wheredidIputthatfartooexitedsmiley:

[domster]

Yeah, I'd be up for a 1000th share in it - timeshare track days... what a great idea!!!!

[GregC]

How much!!!!! Awesome idea.

[Don]

That's a really clever idea. Might be better to set the thing up as company/business though. Let the business run the house as a B&B/Hotel for track users. It could run the track for paying punters 5 days a week to fund it and two days a week the shareholders have free reign...or something. Wonder how much the price of a share would have to be buy and start up the business...?

I'd best get down the doctors waiting room and using steath technology and my ninja training make off with the mag to get the info then....

I went and played on this track with the 933TT a year or so ago. I can't remember the name (doh!) but the guy who owned it used to let the french porkers club use it every know and again. Nice place. Bit a a scary corner in the wet though - I friend of mined dinged his car. I'll find out the name.....

There is also an ad for it in Oct's Classic and Sportscar

So, we'll need to make a few mods for some run-offs, then?

BUT HOW MUCH IS IT?

[comically (to me, anyway), I originally mis-typed that as "fun-offs"]

[whatever]

I can imaging the conversation now:

Hello, my name's PetrolTed. I represent a consortium of several hundred sportscar drivers who are looking to acquire their own track, for general hooning about and cheap french alcohol.

Really?

Yes. Honestly.

click-burrrrrr.

[CarZee]

Sounds splendid. Where do I sign?

[mondeoman]

Does hooning appear in the Oxford English Dictionary?? Lovely word tho - describes it beautifully!

Any news on price yet?

[.mark]

Lets have some more details then - I like the sound of this.

[incorrigible]

This is such a good idea, has anyone found the details yet ? Iguana ? or do I hwve to buy a copy of Classic and sports car and ring them myself ??

[M@H]

Sadly, I think the house will not sleep 60-70 of us...

[plotloss]

I'm in!

Matt.

No. I believe though that the term 'hoon' is originally an Australian word...and meant the same thing as 'hooligan' in in Britain.

But "Hooning" is so wonderfully descrptive for "spirited driving"...
