Top bombing! A 440 being driven to near death sounds fun, but I'm glad I don't have time at the moment incase I met you out there!

Bruntinghthorpe, Rockingham, Mallory and Donnington string to mind.

According to Circuit Driver they have track days on:
Wed 11/10 (AM) Mallory, £90 (But that's a test day)
Sat 14/10 Bedford 175 all day, 99 am 109 pm (probably a bit far)
Sun 15/10 Donny 99 all day 20 extra for extra driver/passenger
Sun 15/10 Rockingham 199 all day
Tue 17/10 Donny 195 all day
Fri 20/10 Donny 220 full, 135 half
Sat 21/10 Mallory 149 (road silenced - not that you should care)
Sun 29/10 Donny 99 all day 20 extra for extra driver/passenger

How's that sound?

ETA - if you need more info email me through profile and I can give you details of the organisers & phone numbers.

The volvo will be very messy on track and my guess would be that the brakes will cook in no time!

IMO, probably best to take it on an airfield day somewhere like Elvington (try Bookatrack) - cheap and you can throw the car around all day without worrying about hitting barriers when the middle pedal goes straight to the floor or when you're experiencing terminal understeer.
