Got my name down again didn't see you at Goodwood. Hope to see you and some other members this time.

[JuniorJet]

Yeah, definitely have to meet at the event. I''ve added you to the list - will you be taking to the track or not?

[Machine monkey]

Probably not JJ just like to mooch and look. I am guessing you will be heading past Oxford on your route there?

[parlivus]

I'm gonna be there seeing as I own Garlicks old PH fleet Z4...

[JuniorJet]

Machine monkey, yeah probably will, unless there's a route with nicer scenery which can be recommended

[Quadracer]

I have been thinking of doing a track day but I've never been on the track before. Well not in a car anyway. I race quad bikes on motocross tracks.
Where would I start, can you get some kind of instructer for a beginner, what events and tracks are a good place to start. I have already paid a little extra for insurance which covers track days. Any advise would be good.
Also is it advisable in a brand new car.

[Machine monkey]

Machine monkey, yeah probably will, unless there's a route with nicer scenery which can be recommended

Let me have a think about that. I can probably link a few miles of nice driving in to the route.

[IK.]

Could do! I'm in an Audi A3 though, so may be a bit too slow for you!

[Machine monkey]

Ha ha probably not the way I drive!!

[JuniorJet]

IK., info ammended

Machine monkey, if you know a nice route perhaps we could meet on my way past Oxford then do a little round route for the last stretch. I'll have my nav running so I know we won't get lost either way...

Quadracer, I definitely won't be going on the track. I would never recommend it unless you have special track insurance or a very cheap car. I'll be happy to ride shotgun (camera man) with anyone who does fancy it

[Machine monkey]

If nearer the time I get in I suspect I will after last time at Goodwood. I will sort something

[IK.]

Where are you thinking of convoying from?

I reckon it'd be interesting to compare MPG figures once we got there, since I'd be trying so much harder to keep up, I bet mine would be near or even worse!

[Machine monkey]

No idea yet IK depends weather I get in and what direction people are traveling from? If people are traveling though Oxford then I would suggest meeting at the BMW dealer on the A40.

[IK.]

Sounds good!
