New skid pan in Essex

[BOF]

For anyone interested in a club day out, All Motor Training - 01206-500507 - are opening a new skid pan at Silver End near Colchester.

Both Directors are retired Class 1 Traffic and one was Chief Driving Instructor.

I have no connection with the company and personally think that a half hour on a pan should be treated as a fun day out- or a taster for further qualified instruction.

I would love that! Do you use your own car?

Would a Cerbera be ok?

Yes,

Don't wash it before you go - took me two washes to get the oil off when I did it years ago!
I had a Class 1 in the passenger seat then he showed me how to do it for a while - lot of fun but don't think you are an expert after a half hour, I think the Police have around a week on it when training?

PS - A colleague visited the pan yesterday - you use THEIR cars - saves you washing the oil off!

Not taking the RS on a skid pan, never get the crap off it!

Tempted to do a Don Palmer day soon though. Once your car is fixed are you tempted?
