Done a CooperS at Rockingham when that was BMW franchised - didn't get long in car. I've heard people doing track days that they're there all day.

I did an Aston Martin day
TBH they weren't as much fun as the Scoobies we got to drive first. They were a tad protective over the Aston whereas the Scooby they couldn't give a toss about Plus the Aston understeered a bit too much because of the weight
Had a hairy moment in the Scoob & nearly went into a Ferrari  Ended up overtaking it sideways thanks to the Ferrari braking sharply for no reason on a bend. Only place for me to go was straight through a big puddle which gave me fook all grip
Was good though

i bought my B/f ferrari 355 driving thing, somewhere up leicstershire, havn't been yet, but apparently there limited on revs anyway!, ;-S but seeing as his astra kicks there arse's , i dont see why he wanted to drive one tbh! but never mind, i guess its the excitement factor, i said to him why do you want to drive a fast car when you already have a scary fast car, he said because its someone else's fast car! so he just wants to rag it round the track!!

LMFAO. Maybe he wants to drive a Ferrari because he drives an Astra  Speed has nothing to do with it.

On the subject of Astras and Ferraris I was sat next to a Ferrari in my Astra the other day at the lights, he was revving it and that, I thought to myself what a plum, anyways lights go green and he stalls it!
Oh how I laughed as I drove off in my reasonably priced vehicle!
