neil.cavanagh Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I gave up. too much testosterone bars flying around.. I use XXX litres of fuel 'cos I'm so hard. (still convince they are talking bolloxs about how much fuel their cars use!) My point is that you dont' NEED to take a oil tanker and 7 changes of wheels to a track day. Some people might chose to, but you don't need to. I'd almost put money on me having done more track days all over the country this year that most of the posters on there, and all with no trailer and just a 20l jerry can to keep me going. anyway, weekend now and lots of parties to go to... though not actually too excited about the company one, but at least I'm getting back to london for a good piss up with my mates on saturday night!

henry21p Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 part of the fun surely is to be able to drive there, hoon it around a track and then drive home in the same car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 things you NEED for a trackday. helmet, camera and a bunch of mates who are willing to lend you passenger rides whilst your car is being repaired! woohoo and big *thumbup* to everyone - gtd, napp et al for the rides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Actually, the ideal would be a Caterham Caddy - so you have a willing volunteer (for the sake of argument, let's call him Boonie ) who drives your race car to the track for you. He doesn't care that it has no screen, doors, heater, suspension, radio, seats. You pop along to the circuit in your SV, all toasty cucooned in your leather seats, radio playing, and the sun shining. You spend the day lapping the circuit in the race car, whilst our hypothetical Boonie buffs the leather and carbon fibre of your SV. And then at the end of the day he waves you off with a doffed cap! And should you have had a prang, then your 'Boonie' pushes the wreckage home!

mav Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Erm... SV, Radio??????? Have I missed something here GTD??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 now that is a GREAT plan Geoff!! Perfect! with maybe one addition.... sexy bond-girl type (say like Mrs GTD) in passenger seat of SV to increase pleasure of drive up and to give the massages between sessions to ease those 'trackday shoulders'. PLus if she could rustle up something to nibble on and a cold drink between sessions you'd be in true track day heaven!! *thumbup* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 doesn't yours have one Mav?? I normaly have digital radio and MP3 jukebox plumbed in for the long blats, along with the wireless email and shed access nav system on the dash!! 😬 😬 😬 😬 The sub-woofer does take up some vital boot space though..

Mrs GTD Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Maybe the others don't have your racing snake physique Neil, and all the extra weight reduces the MPG 🤔 Dunno what GTD's excuse is though... 😬 Mrs GTD Carbonette - patches that make it easy to say NO to carbon fibre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTD Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 And on the road car, you could have optics and a glass chiller fitted so that your Bond girl could fix a martini, shaken not stirred, as you drive into the garage at the end of the day - as the lights dim you'd just hear the giggle and 'Ooooh GTD' > Remember a doggie is for life, not just for Christmas It's a fine position at any time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
