i think i t is fixed

after the saga with the backend of the car
the back suspension assembly no loger rocks or moves under the car
managed to get the wife back in there and driving again
she went on an hours road training saturday around goodwood
and it worked quite well
hopefully her confidence is back up so she will start driving it again
the sterring wheel hasn't moved from where it has been in the last couple of months so hopefully that problem is fixed.

[That road training at Goodwood sounds a good idea you got any details/quote]

after my wife crashed the xjr "I know what to do in a slide"
the repair bill states otherwise
i sent her first for skid training
that was a laugh
all these spotty herberts 17 just passed and parents taking them for skid control
ended up being a lesson in how to thrash the parents car
these kids only used 3k revs max and couldn't get enough speed to slide
so i taught them to keep in in gear and rev to 6k
they all came back with massive grins and the parents wanted to lynch me
anyways after that i got the jag back repaired
and we booked 2 track sessions at goodwood with mitheral and a dedicated instructor for the WHOLE day
yes it cost and she had gavin on the track really rebuilt her confidence in the jag while i had my little MR2. he is an excellent instructor. and chris taylor from mithril took her on the road.
anyway did the job rebuilt her confidence
anyway the relibility of the jag meant it had to go
so we traded it in for a diesel x type
she loves this good handling and easy to manage
managed to persuade her the monaro is a good family car and all was going well till the back end started being funny.
she refused to drive it scared it would bite her and spin like the jag
she can drive very well for a woman
anyway i phoned up chris and got an hour session at a discounted rate
it was so low i threw in a bottle of bushmills
i think chris does road training my best advice is phone and talk to the guy
i have done quite a few track days through him
