Hi all

Has anyone been to one of the 4 person airfield days with www.carlimits.com? I'm thinking of doing one (it's £190 per person) and you don't need to find the other people. Problem is it means rushing through a few repairs on Grandad and taxing/insuring etc. So didn't want to do all of that plus spend loads of money on the day if it's no good.

So, if you've done this let me know what you thought of it.

Did this in the elise years ago, Andy Walsh has a big Lotus following and think thats where he started doing these

You will learn a massive amount in one day in a very safe environment, more than you will on any trackday or road training

Basically I cant recommend it enough (y) He has 100's of very very happy lotus customers

May even be tempted to join you ;)

Great thanks for that JimmyC. Quite a glowing report, anyone else?

May even be tempted to join you ;)
If you're definitely up for it PM me and we'll sort things out. Might just get me off my ass to sort the car out :)

If your after feedback or reviews look on seloc.org and search for walshy days or carlimits- there are loads on there!!

When you thinking of? I was toying with the idea for a winters day for some wet weather practise, and my bank balance may improve by then :lol:

I'm thinking of mid-August, but if it goes well might consider later on in the year too. I'm planning on Croft in September to apply some of what I [hopefully] learn and something later on in the year! If my boss thinks I'm any good, might be able to make another one.

Keep in touch Jimmy.

Btw, I will look at selec.org as you suggest

Thats SELOC.ORG :roll:

Great place to have some fun.. You can also split the days up to more people or event run a club one with as many cars as you like.

Thanks dude, I can't search on there without becoming a member. But I have heard a few good reports, so I just need to convince wifey it's a good idea after doing the drift day at Oulton Saturday (which was really good btw).
