I know what you mean about that RX8 grin! The first time I test drove one, I got out of the car with the biggest grin on my face. I was hooked! From then on, I had to get one. I could only afford a second hand one so that's why I had to fly up to Sydney to pick up a 2004 titanium grey one. Very hard to find that colour unfortunately but that is the colour I wanted.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome.
Vangelis.

A drive in the Dandenongs sounds good to me. I'll just tag along to whatever gets organised. I'm not taking a leading role here, more of a back seat driver's role.
Cheers,

Vangelis, dont worry about the track days. We have as many non track events as track events. And if you can make the day you dont have to go out on the track. But if you do, this particular event and a number of the future ones (well the ones I organise) will have instructors present.
Cheers

Do we have to have fire extinguishers installed in the cars and helmets, gloves, etc? Probably need a crappy set of tyres because I don't want to wreck my new ones. Anyway, let's not get ahead of ourselves, I think I need to talk to you more about this.
Cheers,

Most track days you only need a helmet and long sleeves/pants.
The keener guys get semi-slicks, etc but plenty of us have done track days on street tyres. The car is pretty easy on tyres actually, unless you're deliberately trying to smoke the rears or pushing extremely hard.
Have a go with instructors present. It's safe and a lot of fun.
Just leave DSC on until you get some more experience.
