Arrrgh. The driving instructors are infiltrating Pistonheads! Run away! (Hope I wasn't in your way at all... Cringe. I get all paranoid around instructors.) Oh and Hughsie: I would reply, but since you've just ordered a Tuscan, it's compulsory that I hate you from now onwards. So ner. Edited by Marshy on Wednesday 7th February 22:15

Hey race instructors thank you very much don't call me a driving instrcutor! Any way I'm really quite nice, Mr Edmonston will vouch for that I hope!

[ogeddes]

Well she is quite nice actually. But there is something about girls that can drive cars properly - it just isnt right :-) Thanks for the support everyone - as Claire says - next one will be perfect! PetrolTed drop me an e-mail - we have learnt a lot about putting events on betwen two companies, would be happy to share the experiences. cheers!! Owen Race Speed

[claire.furnell]

ha - the next time you give me the keys to ytour 340R I'm going top scare the pants off you - just isn't right!!! Men!

[ogeddes]

Must fit that rev limiter and traction control before next time - gotta make sure you dont hurt yourself :-> (now I know I'm going to get in trouble!)

[hughesie]

Claire, where do you Instruct ?? Do you naormally have a home track or are you freelance ????

[Haslam]

Seems like a good idea. It depends on the date.

[TVRFan]

Is MaxTrack no longer with us???

[fourwheeldrift]

Nope.....

[claire.furnell]

Oh Mr Geddes you are in trouble now!!! I don't have a home track I'm afraid just freelance - why do you ask?

[tvrman]

Webby Here, I'm for it Ted and WILL send you a cheque when the details are published. Ian.

[ADB]

Given a few weeks to sort out the diary I can commit another Griff. (Cash/cheque/luncheon vouchers dispatched asap) Must just check out the apparent lack of front pads first....

[PetrolTed]

Nice one. Let me make a few enquiries.

[AndrewD]

Now come on Webby, you are actually going on a track day? Is this THE Webby, the one with the tie press, or just an unfortunate coincidence?

[hughesie]

I don't have a home track I'm afraid just freelance - why do you ask? I used to Instruct at Castle Coombe when i was Racing FF1600's there.....Alan keep's asking me to come back and help them out but i'm too far away these days.....its a shame i really enjoy instructing

[claire.furnell]

Yes it is fun as long as people listen to you if not its the racing equivalent of bashing your head against a brick wall! I can generally fit in one day a week no its quite nice

Easier said than done, listening to an instructor is fine, but can I actually do what I'm being told? If you fancy a challenge contact me via email!

depends, do you want to improve your driving technique into a more smoother and FASTER way or carry on the way you are ??? And i'm not saying your drivings crap either !! Instruction is about what you personnally get out of it, we can plant the seeds in there, its up to you to develop and nurture those seeds.... What i will say is that you'll be smoother, safer, faster and have a bigger grin if you put into practise what knowledge the instructors share with you ! Hughesie

[claire.furnell]

I'm with you on that comment its really up to the individual to get the best out of what they are given - I usually ask people how many times it took them to pass their driving test gives you a rough idea! So boys? How much of a challenge are you?
