Muppetboy Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 So I just missed out on the last place on 24th May for the Car Limits thingy as tyresmoker "nhs" is going and I was going to join too. Just needed to book the day off work today (which I did) but by the time I did the last place had gone. There are 4 free places for 23rd May - is anyone up for it? I'd much rather go with folks from Tyresmoke than with complete "strangers" - would be nice to meet some of you face to face. linky for 23 May Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I would be up for it but I will be 'running her in' unfortunately. Maybe later in the year though when I've got a couple of K on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppetboy Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I'm on holiday for a week after today so if anyone's interested let me know today so I can book it too! And yes I know I'm sounding desperate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I second what nhs_ has written. Plus the instructor Andy Walsh is excellent - Doesn't put you down but tells you how to get it right in a positive encouraging way. I think my driving has become smoother since this course and I'm more confident through corners since experiencing the limits of my GTI without hitting anything !!

[/ QUOTE ] And he's brilliant at pushing people to their limits! We were doing that high speed bend at 60mph to begin with, yet with some encouragement he got up going at 80mph+ (albeit spinning most of the time). It was then that he told us how to take the corner properly "Right, you've done it at 85mph, now try 90mph" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 ....I got my own back by eating the extra big salad lunch which was meant to be his ! In fact a genuine mistake discovered when I asked why he was eying my lunch . Great guy . muppetboy, if you don't get any takers here in the GTI forum, how about posting in the Meets forum for other TSNers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Good idea Red, maybe I'll do that when I'm back if no takers from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifly Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 guys i am up for it BUT... not the 23rd as i have CIMA exams on the 24th / 25th so really should be revising that day!!! Really want to go one one of these though. Anyone got any other dates planned just after the 25th!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 well I'm back from holiday and 23rd May is fully booked! next available date with 2 remaining spaces looks to be 31st July! Jeeesus how popular is this thing!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 VERY popular! Why ? Because Andrew Walsh is very good and it's reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 The quality of the teaching is first rate. The business runs on recomendations and repeat business. At our recent Car Limits, two attendees had been in different cars in the past, that is a commendation indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifly Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 any chance we can contact him to see what he can do... am in copenhagen on the 31st july!! Willing to take a day off work if necessary! How much was it again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 £180 per person/car for 4 people, £360 per person/car for 2 people. I'd certainly recommend going on the 4 person day rather than the two. With 4 cars there are adequate pauses between driving activities - I don't think my driving skills would be up to sustaining the workload between only two cars for a whole day! 18th July seems the next clear date, but it is worthwhile ringing to see if there are any other dates coming up before or after, which are not yet on the website - and then reserving one for GTIs and putting it up here again. http://www.carlimits.com/ There are some Sunday options as well, although these are a little more money.

Muppetboy Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 £360 is more than I'd like to pay so a 4 people session sounds better to me... Skifly how does 18 July sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifly Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 can do... what about the 2nd jun though... looks like just released as dont remember seeing it there before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppetboy Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 OK so Skifly and me are booked for June 2nd... there are 2 more places available @ £180 each. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
