The Dive Watch Connection

Me in my "old banger" at one of my very favourite tracks.













The 17th running of the annual 911 RS day was on Friday 10th March

Too cool

Beautiful machine.

That's super cool Andy - you're a lucky boy!
I've only been to Oulton Park once.. was a passenger for a few hot laps in an S2000, a great experience.

Thanks and yes, I know.

That is excellent. A lot of people would love to have that sort of experience; a classic check-it-off-the-bucket list outing.


Say, that reminds me: another great bucket list activity is being able to say that you let a traveling musician crash on your couch. Just saying...

Nice car and a very cool outing. I'm jealous.

Have you ever gotten in trouble for that plate?

Only once - at the Euro Tunnel terminal before crossing to France.

Looks like someone is practicing their panning shots.

Real plate? Cool ! I thought it was an insurance friendly 'track plate'.

What's a track plate?

That looks a great time!

@james80

Some people are wise enough to stick another plate on their road car if they take it to a track day so no social media pictures get the attention of any insurance companies that a road car they insure is racing around a track on various track days, as for some reason they seem to not like that very much

I once hired a white Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 and went to a track day with friends and ended up in a motor magazine with a picture of me coming over the brow of a hill between a White Lambo and White De Tomaso Mangusta luckily nothing ever come of it but I somehow doubt the hire company would not of been happy if they had found out or would I of escaped unpunished. That was a very long time ago as the Cosworth Sierra wasn't very old back then I think it was around 1988/89.

Nice banger.

Others are "wise enough" to have proper insurance that covers track day use

Imagine having a really bad smash and having to fake it having happened somewhere else? Not for me thanks under any circumstances & impossible if there was anybody injured.

Hi andy,

Couldn't agree with you more and as for my own one off use I can only blame the folly of youth as it was some 30 odd years ago and is most definitely not the sort of behaviour I would either encourage or applaud far from it is the case. But really I was just trying to explain to @james80 what it meant as he had asked.
