Feel like I'm way behind here but having met several of you guys at Donington I've signed up here too (actually it appears I signed up years ago but forgot all about it ) The vid Boxey posted was mine and it is a Nardi deep dish - gives me loads of extra legroom.

Thanks for making me feel so welcome at Donington - hope to catch up with you at another track day soon.

Thanks. Is there anywhere obvious to look and see where the 964 group are doing track days or is it just 'keep your eyes peeled'?

Actually that's a good point Steve, maybe it would be worth starting a dedicated 'UK 964 Track Days' thread we can all subscribe to and post track days as they happen?

I suggest the name 'London 964 Track Days' since we've established a brand, lol!

Spooky that you guys should mention that idea because John (Oldtimer) and myself were discussing the very same thing tonight over a pint or two!

Indeed it seems we've got a healthy interest in track days and it would be good to have a bucket thread of what we're all up to and make it easy for anyone to join in. I'll get it started up if folks want me to?

p.s. probably best to keep the annual Spa trips to their current separate threads owing to their epic nature.
