I have used them a couple of times for jobs where I CBA to mess around getting the car on 4 axle stands at the same time. Not sure why there aren't more places offering this sort of thing as it can make some jobs relatively painless.
There used to be one on the Fletchamstead Highway in Coventry, but they don't offer that service now, citing insurance.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm surprised I passed the noise limit in truth.
If anyone has any pics or video of my car on track (red monaro in 9:35 session) please post them up. I'd be keen to hear how.it sounds from the outside.
I've got about half a lap of following your Monaro, however with my roof off, all you can hear is wind noise and some engine noise in the slower corners, I do remember it sounding amazing though! It's rare I can hear other's engine noise with my engine right behind my head but I definitely heard that rumble!If anyone has any pics or video of my car on track (red monaro in 9:35 session) please post them up.

Yeah it goes OK on the straights but corners are a different story. Partly weight, but mostly my utter lack of skill I'm sure.
Hope I didnt hold you guys up.

Thatd be great cheers.

Not really, I followed for a bit then slipped past when you lifted off. Quite a few others didn't extend that courtesy but I can't really complain. It's not much fun for them if they're taking their pride and joy out on track for what is billed as a taster session and people are having a go that they aren't cruising down every straight (the only place they might feel comfortable to safely give it the beans) - certainly in the Novice sessions anyway. If someone's on me for two corners then I'll lift as I exit to let them go by but it takes time to get used to checking mirrors and controlling a car on the limit (of your abilities).Yeah it goes OK on the straights but corners are a different story.

I was in the Black 1 series behind you from early on. I am in the process of uploading the video to youtube. Its in 4k so its a MASSIVE file and work's wifi isnt the fastest... Will have a link up soon.
Nice one I was surprised by your 1 series - you can really pedal that thing along!

I also just re-watched the video - as the loudest thing in my car was my keys moving about, or me giggling at the fire from NJ72's RX8, you can really hear that engine of yours. I was gutted that i was on the same session as you, as i really wanted to hear you out on track, but was very happy to be behind you for a good stint about 9 mins into the session.
I had to stitch 3 videos into one, so about 12 mins in there is a bit of a jump, and the same again at about 23 mins.

I know, it surprises me at times with what it can keep pace with. All down to the remap, i kept up with the 123d silver coupe which was nice. We both had plenty of judder and fade from the brakes which meant i couldnt push hard for long.
