Hi John,

Yeah bit of a sh1tter really, I'm now going for the sensible approach to car ownership, and after a very expensive year, it's gonna have to go!

Catch up with you again soon

Lou

 

Just a thought - I am going down with the Skyline boys on the 14th too the 17th Sept ( in a Skyline ). If you look on the GTR forum ( www.gtr.co.uk ) then it may make sense to hook up together, or if not at least look at the plans and see if we can help each other !!!

Rgds,

Paul

 

btw... did you know that one can buy a half-yearly season ticket for the ring after 1st August and it's half price... which about the same as 2 x 12 lap tickets!!!

Wish I knew that BEFORE this weekend and I bought 36 laps

 

I should be able to come along (can't guarantee it), but as I live in Germany, it's a bit easier . So don't include me in any calculations - I'll just come along and watch (and drink beer ).

Cheers
Richard

 

All booked and sorted!

Also booked for 6th Sept as well

 

>>>Also booked for 6th Sept as well

I'm there all weekend as well.....
I'll keep an eye out for Octavia 1.4s then

 

Are you guys staying in a Hotel with a closed garage?

 

No. I'm not that bothered, who'd want to steal a 1.4 Skoda when there are Evos, Scoobs, M3s and Cossies available?

 

And its Germany, no-one will steal the car... they are all to honest.

 

Erm... like, . . . no one?

 

A very kraut-unfriendly message of mine seems to have disappeared from here...

At least you guys made up your minds

You have been warned far too often about your conduct on scoobynet.

Further action will be taken should this happen again.

I only ever got one message from you? And I replied, but you didnt?

If you feel I'm going over your limits, I will stop posting.

 

Nope, Trophy Blonde and I off to Monaco for 5 days of beautiful sunsets and total lack of fizzy German beers. We will wait till it snows again later in the year.

Oz, think of the economy, He He

 

I know several places in Monaco where you can get fizzy German beer!

 

All booked up via B2T and ready to go

TaviaRS and co-pilot

 

I'm booked and can't wait!!

Actually, can anyone provide a decent list of things to take for a newbie!?!?

 

In no particular order, apart from number 1:

1. Car (very important, this one )
2. Money (you'll need it for food and lap tickets)
3. Passport
4. Green card (or at least make sure you are fully comp in Europe, as some ins companies only give you the min amount of cover ie 3rd party as a default)
5. If new to it and your pads are getting low, spare pads, but better to change before you go
6. Usual European motoring stuff eg spare bulbs, 1st aid kit, extinguisher (if not sure go to H*lfords and get their free list of what you need)
7. Camcorder and some means of mounting it securely
8. Helmet (opinion is divided on this one, but I do)
9. Octane booster (if you use it) 98 Octane is readily available about 1-2 miles from circuit
10. Clean underpants (if its your 1st time )
11. A sense of humour! You'll probably need it for when a local over takes you in a)a Lupo b)a Nova c)insert car you wouldn't normal think twice about That may well include a couple of Skodas
12. Normal camera and some film

Not a definitive list, but its a start.
