I had planned on going to Crail as they had a track day on a few weeks ago but was unable to on the day. My helmet is still in my passenger footwell. Seemed excellent value for £35. I’m tempted by the trackscotland day as well. £120 I think it is. If I have to cancel last minute like I did with Crail it is a bit of a £120 bummer though.

My old R8 many years ago vs a standard one.

Is this any use for parts? Hairy MX5 Sport on autotrader for £500

My friend has just had his late E46 coupe condemned by a localish BMW specialist due to a load of brake repairs required. It has a Boris MoT until October. It is a shame as it looks quite smart in sort of CSL grey and has very clean black leather interior. I thought it might be a good reshell for a drifter. They could punt the interior. He is in the process of contacting a local BMW breaker to see if they want it or WBAC.

It is surprising how rare Corsa Bs have become. I saw a silver post ‘97 lowered on softstars in Bainsford the other day. It was so unusual to see one I looked up the reg to see if it was a sport. It was a 1.4 Breeze.

I have the same trolley jack. The wee light hasn’t worked in years.

Sorry to thread divert. @loserone this popped into my head when you mentioned the above. I noticed it on autotrader the other day. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202002277782326

I got a response from Driftland. It took me a couple of reads. For it to still be £42 for 8-12 people to hire for a couple of hours it would need to be a week day. Are people able/willing to bunk off on say a Friday afternoon for this? ’You can have up to a max of 12 currently due to Covid-19 restrictions, it did used to be 16, however we are geared up for only 12 just now, so that everyone has their own 12m x12m pit area, with 2m and 5m distances between each individual pit.This may change as different phases come into play from the Scottish government.I will send you a run down of our c

I think it is explained in this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8gk8lNWp2PI I understand the track changed management at the end of last year though.

Is everyone ok with me following up my enquiry regarding a booking around late July or August? I assume a weekend would be best for everyone.

@gm good stuff. I’ll nudge Driftland later to let them know I have a group of people. What are thoughts on a date? End of July, August?

I’ll need to check with Driftland but I think open top cars need a roll bar/cage of some description. That’s what scuppered me doing this before with either of my MX5s. Not sure if it just applies for drift events though.

It would be the Drift track not the oval. The track is bigger than that aerial photograph suggests. I think it would be big enough for a bit of fun. That’s the key thing with this. It’s a bit of fun with a small group of trustworthy people not going mad. We can lay the track out as we please in whatever direction. I’m still enquiring with Driftland on the viability of it all but I’ve heard of groups hiring the track before. I’ve fancied one of Crail’s track days for a while but never got round to it.

I emailed them on Thursday putting out a feeler and got a fairly quick response. I replied but I’m still waiting on their response. If we have more than eight interested I’ll have a chat with them and explain it isn’t going to be anything crazy. There won’t be twelve cars say on track continuously for two hours.

So far then it would provisionally look like: 1. @Cheezey 2. @Cheezey‘s pal 3. @Tayne 4. @Supernaut 5. @dc2100k I’ve asked about helmet hire and stuff. Awaiting a follow up email from Driftland.
