No commitment! I expect more from a Cayman owner in such high community standing...

I got mine over Christmas - 707 miles on the clock. Not sure I want to track it just yet but can't wait till I do. Might wait 'till spring...

Taking it down to the Alps first week of Feb which should be interesting. Don't want to put chains on it so just going to see how the 19's take to black ice!

High community standing???? lol, that's funny..........Far from it, I think you'll find.........

Now if it was Bedford..................I could be persuaded.......

But Snetterton? The reality is a 4-5 hour spin each way in the dark, for a shorter "mid-winter" session in rather uncertain conditions. OK, so even if we were talking about the middle of July it doesn't mean it couldn't be sheet rain, flooding or worse. But I can't see the weather getting that much better between now and next Saturday.

At least my commitment stretches to driving my Cayman every day, rain, snow or shine..............unlike some other Nirvara-loving people I could mension

Could come-back, Jack

But, looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow, I think I'd get better lap times in the Navara than in the Cayman!!!

Gales. Downpours. Flooding. New Porsche. Race Track.... and no insurance

For tomorrow, best not turn the PSM off, me-thinks............

Have fun though. Can you get us some pics or even better, some video?

Now hooking up the HD digital camcorder, so should get some good in-car footage... of it raining.

Metoffice forecast has improved, so there's hope yet

Brilliant day! Started off a little wet, sighting laps were done with windscreen wipers on intermittent!! From 9am, ski's were blue, and track completely dry by midday.

The noticable difference between off-season trackdays on summer track days, were the lack of the more expensive car! I was a little nervous of entering the circuit when 80% of the cars were worth little more than £500, all armed with roll cages, etc., but most were quite polite and all were excellent drivers! The pace was a lot quicker than usual with the majority being racers.

Managed to explore the slide with traction off completely in a 2nd gear tight corner (russels), and had the back out a number of times. Very comfortable, and never feels close to the limit. I'll say it again: this car really flatters the driver!!

But, an excellent long day, and even got some in-car video footage, which I'll have to transfer over.
