Do you go for the nipple, or just let your finger slide? I used to swear by the nipple on a Toshiba I had years ago, but on this Dell I got in December, I've persevered and I'm now pad all the way. Or do you just absolutely have to hook a mouse up to your laptop?

LOL it's only been an hour...

Sorry to hear this...a lesson there for everyone. Got to say, well done for being the first person I can recall who's posted up about an accident they had and included the words "It was my fault...". Not enough people take responsibility for their own actions these days.

Dial in 2,500 rpm, side-step the clutch. Feather the throttle in first round to 7,000, avoiding the limiter or wheelspin. Hook second, job done.

Nice, very nice.

I need a deep dish, or a spacer at least. Wheel is too far away when my legs are comfortable. Anyone got a picture of a deep dish wheel/spacer fitted?

Herts Insurance Company (HIC). Very mod friendly, and for an extra £100 or so, you get trackday cover with no limit to the number of days and only £500 excess. Say when asked, that you subscribe to Evo and it helps mark you out as an enthusiast too apparently.

Saner, be it a V6, or a 1.2, pretty much all manual gearboxes/clutches benefit from being used like this.

You love it.

From what Brian wrote I think the blip when in neutral helps the syncromesh catch up, which is why when I do it, say from 3rd to 2nd at 50mph+, engaging 2nd is smoother after a blip in neutral first.

Thanks for your responses Brian. I've often thought that a footrest would give me greater control, and the driving position is the next thing on my list. Wheel position at the moment is terrible, I need it to be at least 2 inches closer minimum. Plus, on the clips I did have to compromise...

Please continue

Absolutely, fire away.

Knowsit.

...I think. I read how to do the double de-clutch thing and have been practicing it for a while. I know it's technically not necessary, but when going for it, it really makes the next gear engage easier, less resistance. Advice welcome :) Click Also, WTF was the rumbling from the brakes on...

Ahem

What a mature thing to say. How much longer before you're old enough then?

Thanks, plenty to read up on there.

How would I do that? Thanks

True :hail:

Here here.

Fight ya?

£165.00 Paul, and there's still dates available. Let me know if you're up for it and I'll get booked up.

Aye, does help.

Get some 15 inch wheels. You get more to choose from, Tweeks have quite a range.

Mine's on 80k as of tomorrow, been driven hard but smoothly all its life and meticulously maintained. Never missed a beat. They're fine on track on standard suspension. They have more to offer than most people are prepared to take handling wise. Money is far better spent on lines, fluid...

We were doing nothing illegal. We were there with the land-owner himself so no problem there. In my opinion, the only thing they could do us for would be excessive noise. But there's only ever one car going, and it's a long strip. Can't see then getting anything from that. If it was over...

Orange. I think they'd look quite smart...but then I would.

Castle Combe dates this year, pick one... Fri Apr 20 Wed May 16 Mon Jun 4 Fri Jun 22 Fri Aug 3 Fri Aug 31 Fri Sep 21 Fri Oct 12

Plate type it is then. Thanks Ben.
