On another matter completly, I had a "track day" at Cadwell on Monday using the club circuit. This was all paid for by the nice people at Hartwell Ford - so guess what make of car you had to drive around the track. Basically they had every Ford in the range there (including the Courier and Transit) and you basically jumped in any vehicle you liked and took it for two laps around the track. They "imposed" a 70mph limit to stop you racing, but I think I managed about 110/120ish down the back straight in one of them V6 Probes things. But the vehicle which impressed me the most was a Ford Maverick, (a rebadged Nissan Terano). I expected it to be all over the track, but it was really solid. I must give some of the guys credit though, as soon as I told them (after they asked what I drove) I drove a Quattro, they stopeed trying to sell me any of the cars :-) Michael Burton Systems Administrator, PA Data Design =========================================================================== 4 Wheels - Audi Quattro UK Audi Quattro Owners Club 4 Legs - Dexter He's a funky kind of horse 2 Legs - Shanks Pony Last resort ===========================================================================
