Thanks John just pm you, can I just turn up ? How much is it and what time should I be on site for?

Thanks

Glad you found the mx5 site Bert.

Mr leamyj, is also a good friend of mine.
john, are you going down with that young fella that spun my car in kirkistown?

Bert well worth getting leamyj in with you as a passenger for a few laps, he well knows the track.

Hi all had a great day in mondello. Thanks john for all the help and for a lone of your wheel brace

Did ya have a spin off bert? Car ok?

A very interesting day indeed..plenty of rain and sleet, plenty of action but I only saw one car, a skyline, end up having to be lifted off the track. to Chopperdog and Bert..great to meet some new guys, great to have you on board, maybe later in the year when we get some better weather we can have a threesome.( stop that giggling in the back row).. Meanwhile, here's a video taken by Chopperdog during a passenger ride in the Subaru..and yes, it's being driven by the same young lad who managed to take Ivan's boxster through 360 degrees in Kirkiston..God that legacy twin turbo 4x4 is some animal..I've never experienced drifting in a 4wd before..

I reckon he was well below the average on the day if he went off only once
