i tend to dissagree. i had semi's on the front for the first 5 or so track days when i first went to the track and only stopped using them cause they wore out to the point where they aren't a lot better than a road tyre.

How about contact some of the enthusiast clubs such as the Mustang Club, Jaguar Club or Vintage car club in the area. They may have people who hire out their pride and joys for weddings.

It’s not all about the condition of the road. It’s more about the ability of the driver to make the decision on how they should drive on a piece of road and their skills (or lack thereof) to handle the road, the car and the conditions.

I don't think roads cause accidents, I think human beings ...

Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a bunch of young people approach a car club and say "hey we want to learn how to driver properly".

Can we teach them the essentials of the english language before they learn how to driver properly?

I am very relieved that a lot of you are NOT part of our justice system. Emotion, half information (thanks to the media) and assumption is rife on this thread.

I for one am thankful we have people who have genuine grace and the ability to forgive someone who is truly remorseful for their actions ...

There are pics of Hondas, Mitsis and another Nissan on here - and I did go to good effort to keep it out of the way of the Toyota festivities for that very reason :)


Not to mention a Mitsi owner running the track day :P
