make sure you stick up some feedback!

Might also be worth considering road-based tuition from someone like Ride Drive if they want to maximise day-to-day enjoyment (and safety).

What "RWD sportscars" did they get?

will do Keith, wont be until well into the new year now.

Sorry - Just to be clear, "sporty cars" not "sports cars"

Mum has a mk2 mx5 (1.8S) for a mesely £2k! (although guess this is a sports car...)

Dad has a 52 plate 530i sports touring, full Msport, every option for a handsome £5k (and that was 12 months ago!).

I helped them find both and have something of a reputation for finding the family cars now...they are both pleased as punch with their purchases, having come from a Honda Accord and Renault traffic!

You get what you pay for and why skimp on such a valuable tool?

Carlimits is cheap, Don Palmer is expensive. Both are better than
an 'instructor'.

Both excellent cars. I've had experience with a 530i M-sport of the same vintage, it still holds a dear place in my heart and they still turn my head when I see them. I'd strongly consider one when I have to be a bit more grown up!

...Maybe the girlfriend might fancy one...
