Ex gf is a hero
gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 08:47 PM

So i get a text from my ex girlfriend (we broke up just over a month ago), she went to one of her mum's charity events (is a trustee of the peace hospice) and entered a competition thing. It involved paying either £20 or £50 and you pick an envelop from a corresponding tree.

She went for the £50 one and walked away with a track day voucher, now she isnt really a hardcore driver so text me and asked if i wanted it. Shock horror my answer was hell yes

When i asked her what track day it was she said she wasnt sure but it had a big p on the front and she said id spoken about it before. . . . .i got excited but didnt want to go ott until she checked.



Yup i was right - it is a voucher for a full days racing at the Palmersport centre at Bedford Autodrome!
Worth £946!!!!!


Literally cannot wait until i can go on this! Roll on next spring!

Anyone on here done it before? A couple of my friends have and they say it is one of the best driving day packages you can buy.

You lucky bar steward! Take her back!!!!


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:08 PM

Haha she is a good girl just isn't that easy unfortunately.
If she had a choice we wouldn't have broken up but I need time to clear my head, sort my life out and make sure the decisions I've made are right.
Couldn't do that together.


Only problem is now I'm going to spend months thinking only about this track day! Ha


slingshot2000 - 13/11/12 at 09:09 PM

Yep, a girl that does that for you is a 'keeper' !

WTF, get her back before someone else snaps her up and you lose her forever.


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:16 PM

There was a lot that wasn't right between us and she is very obsessive which can lead to problems.
There is a huge probability we will get back together I just don't want to jump in to it two feet first, I want to make sure it's right!


MikeR - 13/11/12 at 09:17 PM

She didn't have to do this - perhaps its her way of making sure you keep in contact.


Daddylonglegs - 13/11/12 at 09:18 PM

Totally agree chap, don't let her get away, she's a diamond matey


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:21 PM

Oh it is totally her way of keeping in contact, she is regularly texting me, my friends and family to ensure that happens lol.

There is no doubt about it ha.
We are still keeping our other gatherings etc that we booked a long time ago as a couple so we are still in good spirits with each other etc.
I just try as hard as I can not to be an arse when he wants cuddles and kisses etc which I feel is wrong if I do it etc. anyway we digress :p lol


bi22le - 13/11/12 at 09:31 PM

Complicated life you lead there. Dont let her gift cloud the situation and get her something worth £50 to repay. Make sare it dont lead her on.

I know sombody Thats has done that day. You get to drive some very fast cars.


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:35 PM

I'm already trying to think of something that I can get her for it.
It is not an easy situation to be in, I feel a bit selfish but I can't turn down this opportunity as ill never spend the money on it myself.

I'm going to drive up in the GT1 and see if I can blag some free instructor time at the end in it :p haha. All about networking


PSpirine - 13/11/12 at 09:42 PM

What's her number?


My ex gf gave me £50 last week... ...2 week late payment for her phone bill which is still in my name *facepalm.


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:49 PM

lol its 07G00 DLU CK!

Yeah i didnt make any mistakes like that luckily, not that id have to her family arent exactly short of money.
I cant say i was hard done by in the relationship at all, in fact it was hard trying to keep up with things to get her!

Used to do palmer every other month, always a good day. But mostly full of groups.


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:55 PM

Ha alright mr beady eyes, didn't notice that.
Good old iPhone keyboards and lazy thumbs :p

Ill happily say it is a typo yes ha


gtr_garner - 13/11/12 at 09:56 PM

Every other month? Lol
Fancy giving me some of your fortune you have stashed away

Used to through work, sadly i left a few years ago. Haven't been since, mainly cause it's about £900. Lol


Stott - 13/11/12 at 11:35 PM

She clearly wants you back badly to spend £900+ on a track day for you and then fabricate some story about winning it in a charity event.



Lol, enjoy!

Stott


coozer - 13/11/12 at 11:40 PM

Got any pics of her??


Stott - 14/11/12 at 07:47 AM

Yeah but I wasn't gonna bring it up lol.


gtr_garner - 14/11/12 at 08:11 AM

Hahaha Scott.

I do know she is quite likely telling the truth, they do know people everywhere lol.
Is very simple for me to find out whether she bought it or not. If she did then ill get it refunded simples


Twin40 - 14/11/12 at 08:18 AM

Yep thats awesome! I've done a PS event for my 30th, best driving experience i've had bar none. Driving the lemans style JP-LM1 flat out in 5th around a 90degree bend is awesome!

The atoms with seq. gbox's are flipping mental too

those cars made the M3 race cars seem slow!! haha

you're gonna love it


loggyboy - 14/11/12 at 08:19 AM

Am i the only one that is going to say dont take her back?
Shes quite clearly using this gift as leverage, shes a typical caniving, unscuplous girl who is very cleverly using every tool she has to get to you.

STAY AWAY. (once youve done the track day that is!)


SCAR - 14/11/12 at 08:36 AM

Ex girl friends can be great.
I went to see mine the other day, anyway one thing led to another and we ended up having sex. It was just like it used to be.



The police were a bit annoyed though, apparently I was only there to identify the body.


gtr_garner - 14/11/12 at 08:46 AM

Haha hate it when that happens.


Loggy yeah don't worry I don't just jump back in to relationships because someone has given me a track day, ill do the track day regardless lol.
Women - can't live with them, can't live without them :p


beaver34 - 14/11/12 at 12:41 PM
