swiftr Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Couple of things! I'll be 40 fairly soon (not that soon but want to plan ahead for once) and I've also got a 'finished' Westie in the garage that I need to get through SVA before the weather gets too good! For the birthday I'd like to hire out a racing day type thing where we can have a bit of a blast round either an airfield or racing circuit. Any ideas where might be good, i.e. ones that supply cars and let you take over the place for a day (not one of the 'gift' types where you get 4 laps)? Also, I have my Westie finished at last but could do with some advice about getting ready for the SVA. Particurlarly setting up toe in/out and camber. I'm sure the factory do a great job, but it's a long way from Killamarsh to trailer the car and I think that my local MOT garage can set up that and the lights. Any ideas (or pointers to stuff already on here I've not found by searching welcome). Thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Any ideas where might be good, i.e. ones that supply cars and let you take over the place for a day For one off hire Circuits start at anything from £6000+vat for a day - and then you gotta find someone to hire you cars - which is doubtful Airfields can be from £3000 (ish) + your cars again Why not use your own Westfield - its what they're designed for - honest Sign up for a Don Palmer driver training day use your own car all day and receive instruction or there are "school" days at Prescott and Gurston hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mud Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Richard,ask the missus to get you wscc membership as a 40th birthday prezzie good luck with the sva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Is that Killamarsh near Chesterfield ? If so you need to take the car to Trev at Tranzpower for the suspension set up. His number is 01246456277. If you are near Chesterfield and need a trailer for you SVA run you are more than welcome to borrow mine for a day.

swiftr Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Rob, yes it is the Killamarsh near Chesterfield. Thanks for the info on where to get the suspension set up. Also, I may well scrounge your trailer for the day of the SVA (I assume Derby is the nearest SVA test centre to me?).
