Car cloning!! and for track days car insurance companies can void your insurance if your 'racing' or doing 'track days'

Also the 4th is RAF Marham so I won't be at the next, although Marham is an awsome day/2days worth a go if you have never done a track day, safer than most and little chance of car damage.

Hope to see some of you there instead.

Ffinally great to meet the few!!

Default Lol....

...UM.... Yer other forums!!! we all do it!

I personally don't care about my plate in pictures, and yep my farther in law had his 'cloned' just driving down the road, hence i don't care about pictures - just giving some reasons why people don't like them shown online.

Ring pictures - yer done while you drive round - that one was a 'pro' (used loosly!!) and downloaded from his website there are literally 1000's of people who do it, you just have to find your car! also i have some from mates who did some, the pros will charge for prints (oficially unless you are 'skilled' at taking a screen shot and pasting in to a photo package )

Out of interest, I would to have seen the looks on your passengers faces when you'd completed the lap as we all know driving a car is a way different feeling to being a passenger in the same vehicle - the following springs to mind ....

icooney i hope you were as composed as Sabine when you did your lap

Default Calm!!

I'm always a calm and collected driver... esp on track! (can't afford not to be due to damage cost if you crash - Its extortion!!)
