Hi all I am a relativeley new member to this forum ( just purchased a 98 S4) and although I have not yet been on a trackday am looking forward to doing so, once my car has had a few niggles ironed out.

This got me thinking, whilst on a trackday it would be nice to have a quailty instructor on hand, then i thought Group Buy!!

A very good friend of mine (you should see the phone bills our respective wives knock up) is a Grade B ARDS instructor. His name is Colin Crabtree, son of Mike Crabtree ex British Saloon car Champion and European saloon car driver for Ford.(some of you might, like me, might be old enough to remember him)

If a group of us wanted to hire him for a track day I'm sure I could get either a discount or more time for your money. He is apparrently highly regarded as an instructor with a mature & patient approach.

Please let me know if anyone is interested in me approaching him and taking this further.

Jimbo

I have spoken to Colin and he would certainly be prepared to do a deal of some sort. I am planning to make windsor my first meet and will bring him along, so that all can discuss driving techniques and possibly arrange
future track tuition.

I am not going to Castle Combe ( I am taking my wife on a delayed valentines break, although thinking about it I could take her to Bath!!), However Colin has indicated that he may well be in the area and will drop in and make himself known to you on Saturdat 18th. any one wishing to do this, PM me with Name and car details and he will find you on the day
