A little out of your area but there is Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe who do sparco stuff. Not particulaty cheap but if you avoid postage then they
are competative. (though check Demon Tweeks prices too, they can be cheaper for the higher spec suits)

If you are still intending to do the Castle Combe Action Day on the 12th June then the Merlin Shop will be open and you can kill two birds with one
stone.
If getting the gear gets to be a problem before the Oulton race then I can lend you my spare overalls and helmet to get you out there. (more
competitors = more points
)

I went to Demon...
spent an afternoon trying on suits, gloves, boots etc... very helpful.
had a go of a few of their helmets but couldn't decide on one, and as it was getting late, (5 mins past their closing time) and we were the only
people left in the shop... we decided not to take the mickey!
anyway... I'll be going back there for a helmet... soon.
btw. Did you laugh at the fire extinguisher question on your ARDS?

Andy, Cheers for the offer, I think I might just bite the bullet and take a trip up to GPracewear in london tomorrow. Am definitely going to Combe
- am gagging to get in the car so am taking next week off work to make sure that the van and car are ready.
Last friday driving the Elise was absolutely awesome, how does a race prepped Spit compare to one of those for power/acceleration/roadholding
etc?
Theory test was pretty mad, I did get the fire extinguisher question and of course am immediately going to go and mount my extinguisher in front of
the drivers seat poised to go rolling around amongst the pedals!!
Cheers,
Darryl
, had the test on the Silverstone full Grands Prix circuit which was
absolutely awesome, albeit quite a lot to learn the lines in just a few laps. Now I just need to sort some racewear and I'l be off..
