    i want to go to this event on Saturday (assuming my car is fixed by Grey paul in time). However, iv no idea about insurance or what it does to your tyres etc. How do i arrange insurance and what should i be expecting to pay for the day?

    Do not assume anything with Them,I have stopped using Them(like many other from our region) I now use JCT 600 in Leeds and am so far very happy with Them,They already have customers in Aberdeen and They will collect and return if You need that.

    Thanks, i will. in last 4 weeks theyve had car for 3. Falt battery they said because i wasnt driving enough, i said thats strang ebecause iv done 200/yr. They agreed and replaced under warranty. Sent it back and next drive battery was flat. I asked europe assistance to take it to anothe rgarage but they said they had to tale it to greypaul. I reluctantly accepted and theyve had it a week now and sya theyve sourced teh problem to teh radio!!!! last time they returned it with battery cover in passenger footwell, radio not working and grubby finger marks on seat. And now no phone call for 4 days. Quiet teh worst service iv had fron any garage let alone ferrari!!!!! iv contacted head office but nothing from them either. what do you gave to spend to get decent let alone quality service. Sorry for the rant but if there organistaion of knockhill is as goo as there servicing tehn im a little worried. Hopefully all will be well but weve had a week of great weather here in aberdeen and no car!!!!!!

    Leeds sounds good.

    The track day is not organised by Them and is really very good,if You check previous post by Me and particularly the tyre problem You will see My thoughts on this shoody outfit the thing is the Nottingham branch have a really good reputation.I can recommend the JCT as I was told They go way beyond what is required.I.E. when I bought My 355 from GP/Glenvarigill the bonnet was out of alignment 3 times I asked for it to be repaired and it never was JCT called to say that this was one of the faults They had picked up and did I want it repaired I said no as it had been like that so long and was not a problem to Me,They fixed it anyway at no cost.In about 10 Years of dealing with that lot I have not met a single Person who has a good word to say about Them,if We can meet on Saturday I will get Malcolm Whyte to tell You what happend with Me the last time We went there as if I told You it would be unbelievable.My car is a silver 355 reg C6 DMG and will be in the carpark inside Knockhill please introduce Yourself so We can have a chinwag.

Do you recommend it, i mean id love to but only if its worthwhile and not going to destroy teh car! im reall keen to learn how to drive it properly though so i fteh insruction is good im tempted. Will i need new tyres after it. If i go - 0r have a car to go in ill be in dark blue 360M SN04PKX.
