Hi all, I am seriously considering booking up the PDC at Newport Pagnell.

Just wondered if anyone here has done it and if you would recommend it?

Would be good to know the in's and out's of the day...

Cheers!

Matt

Hi Matt

We were just discussing this at the D & D last night smile
I have a V12V manual like you and cut a long story short you can't do it in that. Has to be a current car and the manual V12V is now discontinued. I wanted to book it for my wife and in our own car, not sure about you?

I have booked through a dealer activity event.

It is a half-day session, so won't compare with the normal PDC, but the cost is very modest.

Has D&D switched to evenings now? damn it, I could've come! (next time!)

Yes, I was disappointed to hear that I can't do it in the manual, but I guess the 'S' is the next best thing.

I am looking at a July date..

I'm doing the PDC on 27th May.

As previously mentioned, the V12V option has gone and I will be using a V12Vs.

Could end up costing a lot more if you fall in love.

Thinking about it Darren,problem is quite a lot of "rough" on this forum and my Lady Boys are used to Top End chaps like yourself, not old farts that shout "Tossers" at all and sundry. No names no pack drill.
If only they were all nice, sweet romantic lads like you.

You are right of course far too many hooligans on here for a civilised forum.
