Andrew Walsh has a great reputation so can recommend this.

Loosey, I would take your MX5 as its far more suitable than the Four for the sort of driving training he does. In fact if Mike still has his Westy then it would be an ideal car for it as well.

I would take the Elise ........even if I hadn't taken it off SORN and MOT'd it by the day I would trailer it.

It is most likely to be a week day.
The cost would be £199 per person for up to 4 people for the whole day.
As I say, see http://www.carlimits.com/ for more details.
I'm thinking of organising a date for the middle of the year - say June time.

Current interest:
1. Nige
2. Mike
3. Loosey
4. Don
5. JP
6. Steve

I have decided to go ahead with this as I really need some training.

Here are some available dates (as at the date of this post):

Thursday 29th April:

Wednesday 5th May
Thursday 6th May
Monday 10th May
Tuesday 11th May
Wednesday 12th May
Thursday 13th May
Monday 17th May
Tuesday 18th May
Wednesday 19th May
Tuesday 25th May
Wednesday 26th May
Thursday 27th May

Monday 1st June
Tuesday 2nd June
Wednesday 3rd June
Thursday 4th June

I need 4 definite people to say yes before I book the day.
4 person day (£199 each)
Note: Events must be paid in full 28 days before the event to guarantee your place. If the event is less than 28 days away, it must be fully paid for immediately to secure your booking.

I can always ask if they can do 5/6 people on a day or alternatively, if there's a enough interest, I can always organise other days to suit peoples requirements/availability.

I'd prefer to go with a Monday but am flexible if that doesn't suit the majority.

sounds a good day to die

My concern is only having a 4wd gripmobile which from Mike's experiences isn't the best weapon for the job.

Do you know if they focis the day at the audience or is it general type thing?

I'm sure if we book as a club then I can ask them to focus on things.
Just depends on what people turn up in as at the moment not many people have there 4s oon the road.
Generally speaking its about car control/handling.

I won't be able to advise/conirm availability until after 1st April when I start my new job. . .
If you guys can wait till then, great if not and you get your 4 people, go ahead without me.
