Missed Opportunity

Missed out on a fantastic opportunity the other day. A posting on the BookaTrack website by a camera manufacturer (number plate recognistion cameras) stated they were looking for a car faster than 130mph to drive around the Millbrook proving ground in Beds flat out so they could test their equipment. Applied for it, but someone in a TVR Tuscan S beat me to it. Would have been nice to try for 180mph+

Offered my services at short notice for when it breaks down

To read the posting, click here and look for the message titled "Free day around the Millbrook bowl"

I may well get my chance yet - he's just emailed me:

"You might get your chance. My car has started to ps coolant all over the place. AA will be on the scene any minute. Oh the joys!"

Missed the chance - just can't get insurance in time for Monday - even the specialist Competition Car Insurance need 3 days to broker the policy. A great opportunity missed. Shame, but it's Millbrooks' policy to insist on insurance.
