It's a 220 mile, 4 hour (on paper at least) trip from here. I suppose that's only £20 in gas  :y so if I get the time would be worth a pop.  :-/

Didn't MarkDTM mention a similar outfit in Loughborough once upon a time though?

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Well worth the trip. I did about a 450 mile round trip, and on the way back up I was hunting out wiggly roads so as to revel in the new handling capabilities... :y

I could do with getting them to look over mine.

It EATS front tyres on the outside edge  :'( (Then again, I could be all the city driving I do  :-/ )

It also pulls to the left a bit too.

Edit: Its 400 miles round trip from York  :'( :'(

It might be a 400mile round trip, but your doing it in a miggy my man, and there is no  other way to travel but in style. When you leave wim, you might just want to go home the long way. :D :y

Why will the MPG double?   No prob not as you will press the loud pedal more cos the car will handle better, BUT you smile will double. ;D :y

Due to other commitments (WIM are involved in track cars), there are no plans to hold another series of club specific days.  There are plans to hold open days for other things, related to chassis dynamics.  Due to the number of clubs that WIM are active in, and timescales, these are likely to be pure open days, which members from many different clubs attending.

I know their is something in the pipeline soon  :-X which sounds interesting, but will leave that to Tony@WIM to announce once things are confirmed.
