    Just on the train home and tomorrow work can suck my balls!! Lol

    Got a corporate day of corporate days. Palmer sport...

    See the lad that set it up won driver of the day, was so proud he had his trophy re engraved for *insert company* go kart champion... Which was a hard thought thing...I duly took it off him :)

    I ain't too shabby in a kart!

    Prob is, I can't drive a car for toffee.... And every petrol head in the firm is going tomorrow and I'm scalp tastic... Didn't help being ok at golf either lol

    So in Kentish fashion, fcuk it, lets dig deep, stiff upper lip, and smoke these poncy prciks! Lol

    Fcuk.... I really am bad at driving!!! Going to be a long day.... They don't even do a bike wildcard.......

    PMSL. Funny that mate. I always fancied myself behind a wheel. Had a bit of success rallying until the money ran out. First time in a go kart, snorting to myself at the competition and I was absolutely crap. Horrendous! Made two overtaking moves all day, got black flagged and bitched at for holding people up. I'd have done better in the rally car!

    Honestly, in a kart I'd fancy my chances.... Won a few things (corporate) over the times... I've grown up on bikes and would consider myself a natural (learning to drive tripped me out)

    But i know tomorrow ill be gunned down.... Should be funny!!

    Jimbo is that why they chose a driving day cos they know you don't drive? Perhaps you have excelled at everything they have thrown at you previously:D.You will be fine, go have a ball mate You'll luv it.

    What an incredible day!!! Totally go smacking how hard you drive them cars.... They push you till you spin off or scare yourself.

    Awesome. Can't beleive how good that was.

    Stunning day.

    Thrown in the deep end and our group drew short straw with 2 seater Palmer sport jaguar 1st car, and I was hammered by the lads I was with, got my mojo back in the karts winning that and was average in most other things, took a few scalps though and a respectable 15 out of 45 on the day... Take that all day long. But felt well out of my comfort zone all day!

    Stand out was without doubt the single seat formula jags and the arial atom - amazing cars!

    Some pics...

    I did it a couple of years ago as it was a life changing experience for me! And now as I see above they have even better cars!! Can imagine how much fun that was for you mate :D

    How awesome is it having the instructor pushing you as hard as you can go in the jaguar JP1 Le Mans cars?!? ;)

    Glad you had a good time. Did it a few years ago on a jolly by a supplier and had a blast. Cars have changed though.
