Sorry TripleS

Only a bit more difficult, Dave?
Actually, on the whole HPC folk don't ask people to believe everything they are told, but to consider it carefully and make up their own mind. So long as they make it up reasonably sensibly ......

If it were up to me TripleS, i'd let you in to the meet. They might learn something useful!

In other words, the drive is not reactive (which is what I get from most clients at the start). All the other guff about having a system is pretty much secondary to that.

Yes, I know......like how better to deal with cantankerous old buffers who think they can make a reasonable showing with all the relevant stuff, and don't seem to have much time for the rest of it. There's them as thinks that's not good enough......and for the purpose of passing advanced tests I'm sure they're right.
Best wishes all,
Dave.
I guess with that attitude, I have to ask the question - given that you are relatively unimpressed with Advanced Driving (capitals very much intended), why would you want to come along to a day dedicated to increasing enthusiasm in drivers before they become accident statistics? You really aren't the target audience for a day like this and I can't see that you ever would be.
I have seen you drive and you do indeed make a reasonable showing with all the relevant stuff. You're safe but your driving is not 'advanced' as I would define it. Equally you have no intention to change (and why not, given that your style has served you well for a number of years) your driving style to one that might be more acceptable to someone who thinks that passing advanced tests is the be-all and end-all. So on both sides I can't see any benefit in having you on such a day.
