I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone interested, but just in case...remember to get insurance cover for your track day; most companies will do an extension on the policy and if not, there are specialised insurers.

Greenlight should be able to help you - they do all of my track day cover.

01277 263030

I know also that goldtrack club have a special insurance scheme for their members, but I think it probably only applies to their trackdays.

Hello,

Regarding Skodas...

There is the Skoda Octavia VRs, looks pretty cool. Powered by the VW 1.8 T engine, 180 bhp. Performance almost on par with T4. Has neat interior too and supposed to handle quite well. In fact you can pick them up for £13,000 brand new!!!! and wait for it...these hold there value quite well!
Also there is now a Fabia VRs. (the smaller skoda based on the Polo).

However this has the Tdi engine so is more of a performance diesel..

The Octavia VRs is well rated..

see this forum..
http://www.briskoda.net/

much more activity than we have here.... I wish there was a Volvo forum like they have theres...

In fact I am pretty pee'd off with my T4 at the moment... one problem after another.. now i think i need another replacement turbo!!
See my thread in 40 series forum.

Take care,

Neil

Ryan, yes I am still going.

You book it asap.

I heard that you can always cancel 7 days before if you cannot make it and get a refund. (although please check this when you phone them!)

I hope I should have my turbo issues sorted by then!!

BTW Which Volvo have you got?

Thanks again,

Neil
