[Nig The Stig]

Might go for a look and collect some video footage. Don't want to do anything to car especialy as I'm going to silverstone on 30th March.

Could be tempted

I was thinking about this one but knockhill said value applies to cars cost now so vx isnt going

[tut]

wivvy, I presume that you were not told that personally by KH?

Give me the spec of your car and I will speak to Ian Forrest.

Called KH to point out the discrepancy with the date as they had not noticed it. The website is correct, but the e-mail was wrong. It is Saturday, 13th March.

Wivvy was told that by Knockhill I believe (post on .org).

[tut]

I presume that it is a VX 220?

Hi tut

Was told by one of the girls on the desk that if its not worth 15k at the moment they wont let on.

Just a basic vx220 na mate

To be fair i never let them know what make and model of car was

[cstrachan]

Custom stripes must make it worth £14999 and the lose change under the seats will take it over the £15K

[vx220]

Was told by one of the girls on the desk that if its not worth 15k at the moment they wont let on

- well thats ALOT of S1 and S2 Elises out as well then! But Tut was sent an email saying they would let SE'ers on the HM events even though the cars werent valued above 15k????

[Kayfur]

This is part of the email I was sent from KH about Hot Marques trackdays - so, as a "like minded driver" I suspect you'll be ok ( even without the stripes )

PLEASE NOTE:
The £15,000 value stated on the website is a guide to allow us to ensure the Hot Marques session is kept for like minded drivers with similar types of 'exclusive/high end' cars!

Our track team are allowed a level of discretion with regards to the book value of the cars as we do appreciate that there are quality cars with a lower book value than £15.000.

[Shug]

It's just a loophole that lets them refuse entry to the tumshies turning up in stripped Novas - like the cars folk buy off scrappies to do Hot Hatch (or Speed Sunday, or Chav-Fest, or whatever the f*ck they cover it with these days)

A VX220 will have no issues whatsoever.

Explanation is in the sentence "girls on the desk". I have cleared it with Ian so if you want to do the track day just book up.
