Just for interest is that the run where someone nearly wiped out the minibus full of Army cadets? I'm sure I saw a classic out of control or perhaps I must have been seeing things. 
As for banter that is all it is; after all where I have ever seriously said that my car was better than anyone elses?
If you can dish it out then you should expect it back in return...

Lets put this to bed.
1. You were way behind so couldn`t see, I chose to air on the side of caution and NOT to overtake around a blind bend. I wasn`t able to see further than the two Subarus in front and they went around on the straight, I saw the cars go past and the road bend away to the left so I could no longer see, so I chose not to carry on (some were doing this I was NOT).
2. As for being "out of control" how could you see, and further more see number 1 above, I CHOSE to not to put myself or anyone else in danger by not overtaking around a blind bend, and if you drive quickly on a road in a car with no ABS as standard, then occasionally you will lock a wheel ( I need no driving aids to drive quickly). The fact nothing happened proves the car was in control, and not stuffed into a mini-bus/hedge.
3. Banter is banter, but ***** waving is ***** waving. Banter is saying Classics are better than Newage on a track.
***** waving is
Hmm, now let's see Spec C vs classic WRX, I will even slow down for you on the straights. 
Anyways enough of this, its about a track day, and not one car.

My car also has no ABS and having owned it for a year I still haven't locked the brakes up, I wonder why that is?
If you notice all of my quoted you have used have used smilies, these I use to inject some humour and I can assure you are tongue in cheek.
Now let's move on, I don't intend on spending anymore of this thread being involved with tit for tat retorts.

What time of year are you thinking of Jimbob?
Perhaps my "tiny"
trackday Honda CRX will be MOT'd and ready for some action by then. If not I may venture out in the "big" 350z 
instead. Perhaps I have an Average **** as I have both tiny and big cars 
........as for Ty and Jimbob's continued bitching.......you two must be married or something.....get a room and work it out of your systems lads....too much tension

Just a word to the wise James,I speak from experience when i say that make sure you get all the payments in before you even book the track. I was left cosiderably out of pocket on the one i organised. You get the usual people sayin yes i'll be there and then no show
Mine worked out around £60 each IIRC

Yeah deffo Paypal details will be put up and your ONLY confirmed when paid up. And all prices would be based on a confirmed list, once you pay you have no refund as its not fair on the other people (unless the whole thing doesn`t go ahead), and if you confirm your going and don`t pay then its their fault it can`t go ahead/costs more.
Don`t wanna be an **** about it, but its a LOT of money and sure no one wants to be mucked around.

You'll get loads saying they will go, even put their names on the list but never pay or go. You will then be left trying to rustle up people at short notice. It happened on the McRae Weekend

That's the problem. I paid up last time and could not go so sold my place to someone else and did not leave anyone out of pocket.

.If when the costings are done we`ll get monies in, and then once all are in we`ll book it, if someone wants to pull out after this its up to them to either get someone to buy their place, or to lose out.
End of the day none of us are made of money, and if you are fancy buying a day in Llandow for your mates??

This is how the banter is done. These two are old school sparring partners! Been going on for years!
Not a fist been thrown, although there were rumours of the occassional hug...

The Evo setup was a classic and my psychiatrist has told me I should get over it within the next 10 years or so...
