[928uk] Story to follow

[Paul via 928uk]

On of the big draws of a track day rather than TF is that you get to take
video's without resorting to surreptitious hand held style shenanigans by
your mate. You also get a much safer environment, less traffic, more
marshalls, free recovery, but you still have to pay an arm and a leg for
damaged Armco.

I'm not saying I've given up doing TF laps, as it's really hard to resist
the temptation when in the area (Spa, Zolder etc), but a track day is so
much more civilised, and it's why I felt able to invite my 80 year old
parents to join me (after my mum had been badgering me for an invite for
years). I thought they'd have ticked that box after the first time in the
928 four years ago, but they've been back three more time since, the last
being this July.

Paul
87 S4 Manual
98 Cerbera 4.5



Not sure whether that's a Cheshire Cat or my Mum!
