    Far as I remeber it's 180 ain't it, Bart O shea had a drift day there lately it was only 130 to get out.

    It's €185 for the Mondello bank holiday days which are dearer than 'club' days

    Were you pumping it out onto the road as you peddled? :cool:

    Not my yoke for a change, Daily van :) 178 miles used 42 and a bit litres of disel :pac:

    I'm sure if pushed hard I could make the 406 return worse than that though :p speaking of mpg it returned an average of 40 on a lovely run to Ennis and back yesterday, mostly at motorway speeds, I'm happy with that! :D

    As for that trackday, I wouldn't mind a shot of that! What to bring if I do though....

    406, anytime I was there I never heard them giving out about smoky yolks ;)

    A demo derby at one of Dgt's fields would be a hoot I'd say :d.

    Going to second the 406 being a monster, its insane, the way it just squats down low and belts up the road is immense. Honestly it revs like a petrol engine, not a farmers car!

    I'd be up for a trackday too tbh! I may have a car to do it in too!

    Are the alloys on that 16 inch teledials or similar to the other ones.
    Did she pop up on the trailer fine without being able to start?

    Is that per car or per person. Could two people do it together to keep costs down etc?

    To use the day I was at last Thursday as a guideline it was €150 for car and driver and an extra driver was €30, so between yourselves you could do it for €90each

    Maybe that's in the racing man?
    A lad had a 328 go on him at the last day and he continued to drive it into the ground, it was literally billowing out oily smoke! Couldn't believe he wasn't called in!

    That's just ruining the track for everybody else if it lets go, an engine blew on Thursday and Tarzan was covered in oil for the whole day

    2 front wheels replaced, today was lucky as the front drivers tyre had a bit of a gouge on hidden onthe inside.

    That and approx 800km's covered yesterday it's being an expensive motoring weekend.

    I think I'm loosing my turbo lads, outrageous whistling noise but no loss in power. I couldn't find a cracked pipe with a quick look, but knowing my luck shes going!!

    Bloody thing, organise that trackday soon and let it die if it's going to!

    Something I have noticed is that a few traffic lights around my way have been modified, as in; it used to just have a normal red light, now it has a red arrow and then a green arrow, its terrible, I almost started to drive the first time I came across it because I had never seen it before, its not as intuitive as the regular ones and I would hate to be colour blind as I see it causing some accidents. Anyone notice these new lights around?

    As far as the track day goes, put me down as a passenger with someone, unless I manage to get my licence by then...

    An XUD MX5 would have lots of torque, right? :pac:

    I could make one rev safely to over 6k and not throw a leg out of bed if that's any use :pac:

    They did use XUD's in some Toyotas in the late 90's, mini Jap connection in the making already.....

    Bad picture and I was slow taking one as I was standing in a bit of shock at first with it being an SLS.
