Admittedly not  but as long as he keeps it quiet coming up to the barriers (where the marshalls stand) and just beyond it, he'll be fine  If he is noise tested tell them it only revs to 7000 that'll ensure you're under

You coming Dunc, with car or as a pax?

Update: if you come on your own with your car, but share a room with someone else in the same position, its £245 instead of £389!

I've updated the first page.

My CSL is over there Mark, but I'll be there in July as well for sure - not sure exactly what weekends though. Shame that you can't make June though

Now we're talking. Car a bit quieter now since I put the standard middle box on, still loud right enough, according to the neighbours.

E-mail sent Steve, myself and possibly one! yay!

9 people and 5 cars so far  This is going to be a cracking weekend, really looking forward to it.

If its dry we'll go for some fast laps with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, if its wet we'll get some drifting done like yesterday

Hope you're all looking forward to this wee jaunt. I know a couple of you are getting properly excited about it

For any of you who were at the Show n Shine yesterday, and for those who weren't, you may be interested to know that Hamish is not just a judger of shiny cars (and owner of a not so shiny but frankly loopy M5 engined E30)... he will be heading out on this trip to the 'ring and will be on hand to offer you words of wisdom as you get your cars out on the toll road.

For those of you who don't know, he quietly works away with folk across the UK and beyond offering track instruction and has a good wee group of return customers as well as word-of-mouth referals. Our own Mr Gill has taken advantage of this on a previous trip to the 'ring so if you would like to book some time with Hamish on this trip to get the most out of your experience, drop me a line and I'll put you in touch.

OK so we have 12 people in 5 cars so far, its going to be a cracking weekend

If anyone is interested in coming along please make contact NOW as very soon it will be too late to add ferry bookings etc.

Just to add my tuppence worth to what Dunc said above (and I would have said this at the show and shine if I'd remembered it was on!! ) Hamish has 'attended' 2 ring trips with me so far and I always value his comments and advice - I would *strongly* recommend making contact with him (via either Dunc or myself) and booking some instruction, he is very reasonably priced. I personally learnt the hard way that driving instruction should have been the first thing on my list instead of bigger brakes and suspension mods

One word of warning - he gets a bit soppy when he see's Sabine
