hahaha feck ya anyway johnny!!!!!!!! haha hey perks of having the trailer from the rallies days and the daddy with the jeep! lol haha...
but hopefully illl try buy some new cheap ass tyres for a day out or 2 this year funds permitting....
but it also depends where you live... i live in carlow 40mins from mondello etc . so not that much if you were towing from there.
but like john and the lads in dungarvan.thats a good spin up to mondello so it will cost more
id spend about the 400 mark 125 for mondello 100 at laest in the soarer for the day 60 for the traylor 50 petrol for the jeep on the way down spare tyres onother 80 ish plus food and drink
Like some pointed out you need to look at it from bigger perspective. It's not "just" diesel, petrol, tyres, entry fees, food.
Forget about "careful drifting", you WILL have an "off". We thought (with Hositos on here) that a 535 is a right yoke (and it was like a tank) but it shat itself on me big time:eek: and we deemed it "beyond repair-rid of it"
Now the bigger picture:
It all depends on your personal situation
Is it your road car (I took this option recently) so you need to insure,tax and nct it otherwise some nice guard can take it off you right into their compound especially knowing how they love drifters. Then also forget about the cage and coilovers if you have kids etc.
Do you have something to tow (I still have and will rid of as I hate it with passion) if so you know how much it is to maintain, tax, nct, insure and mostly how much it can drink:eek: and that you need a B+E driving licence as well or face going to the court
Do you have a trailer (I do) if so do you have a place to keep it (I don't) SAFELY as it's a bit of kit that can disappear in minutes:mad: I keep mine in my friend's garage for free but he uses it for free as well. Borrowing is not always an option as well and can spoil perfectly planned day out on the track.
Or split the costs, buy a car and get someone with jeep and trailer and work together like I did with Hositos.
im in mondello every month... and the normal costs are about
125 for entry
40 for tower
70-90 for petrol for drift car
150-250 for tyres
food ect.. so normally about 4-500 for the day...
portlaoise dis weekend for me is goin to be 50 diesel 60 petrol 80 entry 30 trailer bought tyres in a bulk so prob only about 50 for tyres!!!dats only for the sunday not goin on the saturday!!
why is everyone adding the price of food into it??do you only pay for food on practise days,what do ya do the rest of the time eat out of bins??im sure he knows the cost of feeding himself
rant over:D
I tought that too LOL:D:DQuote:

Lets face it this cost will vary for everyone
depending on the track, the car your using/power,distance you'll be travelling.
I bet eating home on sunday will cost you nothing, as parents making all ur sunday dinners :DQuote:

Thanks for all the info lads I really appreciate it.I never drive the 180sx I have so may aswel have something sitting at home to wreak rather than having a perfectly good road car!
As for a trailer one of the lads has one for a rally car so I'd prob be able to use that.
And food I'm from tipperary.ham sanwiches all the way!!!shur Denny even made a tv ad about us :D:D
