:headspin:

Time : Late april, or may. Sunday.

Cost : TBA, under $200 (probably $170)

Venue : Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre

Availability : 16 spots.

Requirements : Current Open or Provisional licence, rego'ed and roadworthy car - no rusty shitboxes or super dodgy stuff.

What you get : Professional instructors helping you go fast and do big dirty slides. They are all hoons/racers. Safe legal environment in which you can go completely nuts. You WILL be a better driver after one of these days. Some of us have done 5 already. Buffet lunch.

Event.....

There are 3 sessions on the day.

1. Half day skidpan. Most people know the drill now, small track with water and diesel on it. Nothing to hit really, unless you close your eyes and drive into the other person on the track. Bugger all tyre wear. Develops slide control, being smooth, confidence and its just heaps of fun. Time trials at the end as well :(

2. Lunch. Good food, all paying participants get to sit down and have a feed of salads sandwiches meaty goods etc. It was a lot better than i thought it would be actually. (done it before)

3. LVMA (Large Vehicle Manouvering Area) Big flat square shaped area with slalom, brake test, and a track set out on it with cones. Wet and dry brake testing (teaches you how to pull up as quick as possible instead of just locking up and running into things). Slalom, with a bit of a difference as well. Cone track - the chance to go all out against the clock, and because its set out with cones, you can really go all out :)

For a bit of fun we are probably going to keep records of all times, skidpan, slalom, and lvma track, and have trophies for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Nothing serious, just for fun. Sponsor should be providing them so why not.

I need solid interest here guys.

so far.....

    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
    • 1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
