wanted type 9 ,5 speed box, anyone got one laying about? pm me with details,

Still browsing the for sale adverts, between here and Pistonheads I am not sure I've seen the 'right' sort of car yet. Unfortunately the trailer hasn't sold either, ideally I want that gone before buying a car - Initial thoughts were to keep it but I can't see me using it (besides the fact we don't have a towbar fitted to thecar). If I did decide to go sprinting/hillclimbing in a year or two I can always buy another. I have also been ruling out alternatives, drove a 2.0 MX-5 yesterday but although it drove superbly t just didn't give the buzz I want.

I did my first ever track day at Hullavington with MSE Friday and to say I was apprehensive following recent events is an understatement! Thankfully I had nothing to worry about, MSE controlled the event in a very professional manner and my experience out on track was that everyone respected each other. Great to meet Dom, Stuart & a big thanks to Mike who took me under his wing on the first session showing me the correct line and obesticals (2 concrete platforms) to be avoided; he also showed me I've got a lot to learn, by the 3rd lap he was a spec in the distance!! I took advantage of the instruction available which was fantastic & thankfully by the end of the day, I felt my personal pace had picked up, which I was well chuffed with; oh until Stuart suddenly appeared in my mirrors and then left me standing as though I was in reverse; 1.6 who you trying to kid;)................. Anyway what I'm trying to get at is that any newbie thinking of going out on track and may have been put off by this and other threads of late, DON'T BE! I now appreciate that unfortunate incidents are very isolated & if you drive as already mentioned in an earlier post & not try to be a hero, you've got nothing to worry about. Conclusion, I'm well & truely hooked and already looking to book my next track day; who knows I may even have ago at a couple of Speed series events next year!!!!!

Latest One from Steve Hewson - Trackaction. Oulton Park November 8th with Trackaction-Online Open pitlane trackday, free instruction available, limited numbers to maximise track time. Cost is £130 per car/driver, bookings can be made on their website HERE. They are repeating there one-in-five-goes-free club deal so if any members book they can put "WSCC" in the comments box and for every five WSCC bookings we get we'll draw one name out and refund the entry price, I think there was two or three that had free places last time. Should be the usual fun day out, most of the Trackaction regulars will be there in their Se7ens so it would be great to get some more proper cars along to play with!
