Experience day. Now want boost.

Last year Jenny got me an experience day and I finally got around to booking it.

Started off with a few passenger laps in this:



And then my weapon of choice arrived:







Ferrari, Lambo, Aston etc didn't interest me. The only other car I was tempted by was the Lotus, which was bloody quick when the instructors were taking it out.

The instructor I had was a guy called Tony Lynch. It turns out he's the British stockhatch rallycross champion. He was driving 205s and 106s up until recently. Now drives a Suzuki Swift Sport. So had a good chat with him and he gave me loads of advice. Really nice guy. The next round will be live on Sky next weekend. Should have given him a B4T spotted card

Now want boost. What an amazing bit of kit. Handling was spot on. Power was endless. Brakes smelt good And when the turbo sneezes, it makes love to your ears.

The 106 is a fantastic car to learn in and I'll be keeping it for a little while yet until I get some more open pit days under my belt but owning an Evo 8 track toy is now on the list. Apparently I have to buy a house first though? Bah!

you can't track a house, trust me. Get the evo first.

Looks like you had an awesome day!

Ahhh house or track car that endless issue.

Anyway, get a 5

That sounds familiar

Jenny: How much is that engine conversion costing you?!
Me: Nothing compared to how much that designer hand bag is costing you!
Jenny: But my hand bag is pretty.
Me: Put your hand bag on track and sit in it. I bet it won't give you as big as smile as my car.

...then it turns out I make her travel sick when she passengers

Best get her driving it then

She gets the 106 and drives that to and on tracks, you have the evo. problem solved!

The guy down the road has just taken me out in his Lancia Delta HF Turbo Integrale... think I want that more than the Evo. What a car!

maybe leave some caravan brochures strategically placed about when Jenny is over. Plan for your Integrale future now

Dave....

Seriously in love. Amazing for the few laps I had in it. Should have paid for some extra laps... or just driven away in it.

I have just emailed that to her. The colour is dashing. Quite a head turner.

you could bring it to shows, no more £3 cups of tea and you get your Evo. everyone's a winner!
