I strongly believe if I'm going make a tit of myself, I should only do it the one time.
ffs promised myself I wouldn't spend any more money on the coupe, maybe have to look at proper brake pads

We need a lot more names guys. Where are all the Scottish members?
For those apprehensive about driving on a track If you haven't been on a track before-the most hazardous part of the day will be driving to and from the track or any journey in rush hour traffic is far more dangerous, difficult and stressful. Driving on the track is far safer, infinitely more enjoyable and definitely exhilarating. There are no cars coming from the opposite direction, there are no parked cars, pedestrians, lamp posts, deer, buildings or brick-walls to hit. The other drivers on track are far more courteous than you'll find on public roads and nobody will cut you up or drive right up your arse(as they say). And there are Marshalls with big flags to warn you of any danger ahead!
A track-day is not a race. It's about having fun with your car in a safe environment. You just have to drive slowly the first few laps until you get the feel for the track and car. You wont embarrass yourself(nobody is really watching) and you'll regularly pass slower cars that are on cool down laps. You'll also get lots of advice and encouragement from fellow club members and drivers.
So get your name down you will love it.

I've mentioned this on the Porker forum to see if I can drum up some numbers.
If this is unwelcome, let me know!

Now looking unlikely that this will happen for several reasons, main one not having the numbers to make it financially viable It needed confirming on Monday. A big thank-you to everyone who put in the effort, esp. Lego

As long as it was perfect pitch even with a perfect pitch the neighbours may think your lowering the tone
