Anyone actually done one of those rally packages? Would love to have a go at this, maybe time to save up  Rally Extreme ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

They look good and well priced too. I paid about £250 in 2001 for the rally morning at brands hatch when they had Escort Cosworths. Was great fun. I'd say go for it.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

My mate went to one and was quite disappointed with it. Understandably, he felt he couldn't really go quickly (dangerously probably lol)________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

Jonnie off here runs a rally school, meant to be pretty decent.________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |

I think a lot of it is down to the instructor. My one at brands gave me full rains each lap id listen and improve. He was epic. However, some people have said that the instructors have barely let them do anything. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

The instructor was constantly urging me to floor it and go faster to the point were I crashed twice. Not badly however and just bounced off some inflatable barrier things. I'd definitely recommend it  |

Yah i looked at that one Rich306, it's not far from me......but i decided that with it being so wooded and lets be honest riddled with things that could write off a rally car........they probably wouldn't let you go that fast, now i know it's all about speed but there's literally hardly any margin for error if you ask me....________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

Exactly what i was thinking, i'd just like to handed the reigns to a car to take off-road 'legally'? Hence why i looked it up…. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

I was looking at one the other day, You get to drive a 206, Impreza and Evo.....it's a coned track but far from actually going down to Jonnie205's school which is f**king miles away....it's probably the best and best value one out there, there's always taking your own car on one ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

I wouldn't take the Rallye on there, maybe a beaten up Gti, but don't you need a rallying licence for that sort of thing? ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!
