I would also (if he was up for it) pay for a ride in his car!

£10 sounds like a bargin........... Even £15 is not that bad.

Will have Apex Gen2 coilovers and K-sport brakes Front and rear shortly, and I'll be taking it out on track as often as possible, the MD will also be doing some driving.

My other track car is off the road for the winter, having more tweaks ready for TimeAttack 2008

Its a decent job, if at little all-consuming, I cant get away from it, especially in summer when weekends are taken up by car shows and track events.

The Scooby is works demo car, not what I drive day to day, I just get to drive it on track

I do get to sponsor myself for TimeAttack though. I've several hats at Apex Performance, including marketing, (which includes the race team), technical contact for PPG and K-sport, and day to day stuff too. Development & testing work is interesting but I was averaging 75 hours/week in summer, now down to more like 50!
