Hi all, im very interested in doing the ring!! i was going to go 2 yrs ago but had other things pop up!! wondered if you can give me a quick run down on what will happen, prices, and facilities for having work done to cars(i.e. anywhere to change tyers!!).
Have done a few track days already this year so am wanting more!!
also weather wise? what would it be like for that time of year!? if its raining then will take the STI Type-R, if its not then will take my little HSV GST-R(410bhp at the mo.)!!
anyway hope you can let me know soo so can sort out extra pads,disks,etc!!(only one HSV dealer in uk so they might run out of parts and it takes2weeks for them to get them from down under!!)

Chu(^_^)

 

Is that the ugly Civic Type R ?

Only jokin, should be good for a bit of comparison between 1.6 old and 2.0 new.

Im really lookin forward to it now

Chu i would get your car sorted before you go to the Ring, its not exactly easy to buy tyres etc out there. A few of the guys who go are a bit of a wiz at fixing stuff (Owain - Welsh blue haired hero), so don't worry too much, very reasonable rates i hear

"very reasonable rates i hear "
you mean a couple of buds!!
well hopefuly will be able to get the HSV sorted out!! 6pots all round orded!!

matt, what about room prices?? there would be two of us going! and insurance ?? any companys for this??

Chu(^_^)

 

Chu

the Ring is a public road mate...insurance covers it

Most of us are staying at the ZurBurg 85-95 euros/night for a twin room

 

ok just finished speaking to my co-driver!! looks like im gong to the ring now if all goes to plan!! will confirm by next week!! i take it your all going in convoy?! what about the trip back?

Wow, now I am excited, what cool cars going too!

Reminder to self, blag laps in the Westfield, Mellows P1 and that bad boy HSV!

Wicked!

 

May be an idea to wait until you've been around Bedford with me next week......you may change your mind

 

oh dear!

 

weather update - this weekend just gone we had snow for both sat and sun. At the mo, it is around 1 deg C. There is no snow left though, but still quite cold. Overnight temps below zero. This is in Munich however, so the ring may be a little warmer.

Any queries, just email me

Neal

 

GOT the STi

This is seriously good fun. Only 650 miles to go and then I can unleash the 2nd half of the revs!!

I have had to sign a disclaimer saying I will not go above 4000rpm, unless in an emergency. I pointed out I want to be a doctor but they were having none of it

Harj mate, did you get mail re rooms? Cheers

Stevie

 

Stevie,

You poof! Fancy buying an STI! LOL Nice one mate. See you there!

Matt

 

Yep, its the mini MPV one
Im interested to see what it can do too

James.

As for the weather:

http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/10506.html

Might see some of you


Ralf

 

Matt,

I was tempted by an R34 but cheesy grins in a certain magazine put me off There is still a Skyline in me at some point though, I dont know what it is but they do flick my switch.

3 days and 450 miles done. I can hear those extra 4000 revs calling me!!

Might be biased a little, but blue/black, anthracite wheels, blacked out lights and de-badged does look rather good. Why Subaru insist in using inch high British Leyland-esque badges on the boot is beyond me. Also, Direct Line reckon removing the WRX Impreza badge makes my car less of a target to thieves!! Fantastic

 

Stevie,

Sounds great mate. Look forward to seeing ya soon!

Matt

 

Stevie, looking forward to a lap in the beast.

Enjoy

 

Stevie you said “Also, Direct Line reckon removing the WRX Impreza badge makes my car less of a target to thieves!! Fantastic”

So the huge wheels, mahusive spoiler, brightly coloured and logoed brake calipers, Sti stickers down the side, prodrive on the front, don’t give it away then??


Looking forward to a lap in the 'stealth' mobile, LOL

M

 

DAME!!! the in-laws are coming over on the sunday morning from overseas!!! looks lik i have to miss this one!!!

 

MattOz, TypeR & MRK.

I will be along to Bedford on Saturday for a looksie so if you ate there.......

Only 350 miles to go

 

I too should be hitting the Autodrome just for a peak-a-boo.


Until then, then


M :-)

 

Boys (and also to you girls out there..) the weather is FFFAAAANNNNTTTTTAAAASSSSTTTTIIIICCCC! Blue sky, cool weather. Warming up for the weekend too. Bring the sunnies

I hope to get up there for a day trip sometime, not too sure yet.

Neal

Andy
