Nice one.

Why don't you come to some ADUK drive days and ask to be paired up with those who has done the IAM masters or HPC and you can discuss more on the drives to get some different perspectives?

I met up with John Cochrane last week for a drive and chat. Apart from impressing me with his driving, John also gave me all the information I needed to decide in my own mind the merits of HPC v Masters. The upshot is that I have booked an assessment drive with Andy Morrison for next month.

Good call

lovely to hear - if you go into the time with Andy with an open mind an looking to learn you will find it very rewarding.

You sly old fox you kept that a secret. I didn't know you had been to Andy for training.

He was assuming you were speaking from a position of knowledge.

I suspect that Steve's experiences with AM will be somewhat similar to my own....

By the way, what is Andy Morrison's background? Ex Hendon etc.?

By the same token what background do Mark Kendrick and Andy Walsh have. Limit handling, or high performance road driving, etc.?

Ah, I see, he was being sarcastic. He should have said.

I think it does Andy a disservice to stereotype him as just another PC1.

Leg pull rather than sarcastic hence the

The great thing about Andy morrison seems to be that a) he has the credibility and experience from his police background, but b) he has an ability to open your eyes to driving options / tools / skills and see how you can use them to further your aims...

when I spent several days with him recently we had a detailed discussion about my previous experience of cars / what I enjoyed & disliked / what I wanted from driving / my pattern of driving / my experiences / etc. - he then very much took me on my personal journey and really made me aware of a number of things I could improve (and how to), and showed me some of the possibilities ahead in learning. He is not dogmatic about there only being one way of doing things, he looks at understanding why steering (for example) can be done in several ways and the strengths and weaknesses - and then takes you through them step by step with practical demonstrations - a great mix of coaching and teaching

it is his attitude as much as anything that is so good - I will return!
