Pistonheads Sunday Service - 3 December 2023
I don't know if any forum members use this website but for any that do they have a Sunday Service booked for 500 cars at Thruxton.
https://www.pistonheads.com/news/genera ... 3-12/47842
I'm on the list and have booked a session on the Skid Pan, but places for that are selling out fast!
Hopefully I won't be the only Z4 there.

I'll be going anyway as I've booked time on the skid pan. But I might not rush there early!

Yes, the earliest I could get was for midday. But for less than £30 it looked like too good a chance to pass up!
Should be interesting anyway as it's the first car I've had with an LSD, so it seemed like a good idea to see what happens.

Snappy-snap-snap oversteer, transitioning into fishtailing as you try to correct, and then a big spin
The short wheelbase makes it relatively hard to balance in a slide, at least until you’ve tried it a few times. It should be great fun though

That sounds exciting.
I may need to consult my mate Mr Spinney who got his nickname around the same I got mine, based on his oval racing exploits frequently facing the wrong way!

I’ve always wondered the origin of your name. I wouldn’t have suspect that would be it! You should have no problems!

Well I got some bad news today. My skidpan session has been cancelled "due to circumstances beyond their control" - presumably meaning the skidpan is likely to be an ice rink!
Still they are going to refund me so it's not all bad, although I had been looking forward to it.
Given the current forecast I will probably decide whether to go on the day!
