I will be running road tyres definately - want some comfort!
Aircon stays in as well despite the mods
Looking at getting a multi-map on mine so I have the option of running with no boost when I want - should help on the fuel front for the motorway sections. Then at the flick of a button its full boost and away
The work has started

Yep, road tyres for me too. Will actually be going back to my original 16s as it was easier (and cheaper) to get a full size spare. New tyres will be arranged today.
If I get time, I may even get a remap before the kick off.

After the abuse my car went through in the hands of Stormy and Mark, at the driver training on sunday, I can definately confirm I will be camping with the slow drivers on this trip.

The good thing is that you should now know the safe limits of your awesome car.

Are you on commission Marv? Think I'll be getting it serviced first, as it's due now. Might have to be remap next month as this month was the purchase of 4 new Toyos for my 16" wheels, in preparation for the Blast.

Service booked for 11 August, getting brake pads replaced with DS2500s, and keeping the old ones as spares - they're about 50% worn, and also a full alignment as well. New tyres on wheels, just need to be put on the car.
I've also got a couple of questions.
1. I was thinking of carrying a spare can (or two ) of petrol - are there any rules/regulations about this?
2. Will I need my helmet for the Nurburgring? I've herard it's not necessary, but is a worthwhile precaution.

Yep service also booked 8th Sept
I carry a couple of cans of fuel, long as they are proper carriers dont think there is an issue, you may need to check for Ferry certainly I carried can full of fuel last trip, problem with Specie is that I only does 200 to the tank
The ring helmet wise your choice Im taking mine.
Stormy
This time 8 weeks we will be in Interlaken

OK, you guys have twisted my arm.
Service booked for saturday, brake pads will be changed and braided hose will be fitted with the real oil.
I guess the brakes will be well tested on the trip to the Germany WRC before the Euro blast.

Cool have a nasty feeling you may need new pads after the trip to Germany knowing the lot you are going with Ade.

Nice pics Paul
I can vouch for Paul's prowess on Pinnacle - he has produced some good DVDs for the Peak Tours.
48 days today I'll be in France en route to Rheims for the overnighter

Not long to go at all now then. Got just about everything ready except insurance green card - finally found insurance certificate so will be ringing up about that today - and money. What's best - a pocket full of cash, or just use debit card?

Depends which bank you're with, some sting you using the card abroad. You will need cash for some stuff (like using toilets, buying lunch etc) but I tended to use the credit card for the major expenditure (petrol!!).
Stormy what currency do we need for the Czech Republic and are we ok with Euros everywhere else?

Switzerland doesn't use the Euro does it - think that's still Swiss Francs?
Anyway, they're all foreign lands - won't a box full of shiny beads and trinkets do?
