Just been informed by my m8 Theo (the other one ) that the Ring will be closed Easter weekend.

Wheeltorque seems to have hired the place for Sunday & Monday.

See http://www.wheeltorque.uk.com/ for more details.

Waiting for confirmation on this one, but that would be a major bummer Unless something can be combined ?

What a bummer!

But if wheeltorque are hiring it then it sounds like a private session which could be even better (hoping)

No Bikes and no Buses

Looking into it.

 

Hi guys,

I've heard the cost will be nearl 600 quid

Thanks

Sonu

 

Harj - lend us 600 notes mate
This is a real ****** - whens the likelihood of finding out for deffo? This is gonna put a real downer on things
Whens the next weekend its open after that?? We dont have to go on Easter weekend do we?

 

Oh no I was really looking forward to it!!! When will be the next trip then???

 

It's only the Sunday and monday that Wheeltorque have it booked for.

Oh and they are charging 575 quid and that does NOT include ferries or hotels.. Sheeesh I'm in the wrong business.

Good point Rich.. We could declare our own Easter

Richard

 

Just had a thought about the dates.. Yeah yeah dangerous I know

Easter next year is actually pretty early ( Good Friday is the 29th March). So the chances of snow that weekend are pretty high (remember last year ). So it may be much better all round to declare "Scooby Easter" some time a little later in April..

Richard

 

Good thinking padre about the Easter dates, well as soon as we receive confirmation on these dates that Wheeltorque have booked it then maybe we should move our date to the next available date?

Hopefully a date where its open Fri,Sat and Sun!

Shame we have to wait for the official dates to be released

 

Official website not updated with 2002 dates yet
Apparently they wait for F1 dates to be confirmed by the FIA or summat
Cant we just go and get pissed instead

 

Pants, the later the better for me in April, then it could be a Birthday present .

I think i am away off the last two weeks of April.

 

Rubber buggery, I've just bought snow tyres for the easter trip


Later in April sounds much better to me anyhows, cool, and it shouldnt interfere with my race schedule


M

 

Rubber Buggery? MRK, steady mate.

If it's later in April it will coincide with my 30th and there is more choice of AMG toys to borrow. At present I will be in an S500 limo or ML55AMG BUT the CL55AMG is due early April

I can offer to run it in for my mate, I am sure he wont mind.

 

Sounds like April is firming up........

 

Sound more like MRK is firming up with this talk of "Rubber buggery"

 

eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww

 

A bit of firm rubber on the end of a long handle never hurt anyone............ that much

WHHHOOOOOPPPPPAAHHHHHHH

 

I should have known ... start a thread about Easter, and 10 posts later it's about crusty socks

 

Leave my socks outta this ya ugly Belgian biaatch

 

Shame about Easter but roll on the next trip. Rich, getting
P1555'd is obligatory anyway...at least thats what I was told

 

Got any pizza?

 

Rich...Herb crust left from June...
Especially for you...After all...How else would we prop up the parasol??

 

Yeeehaaaa.........!!!

Keep us informed people, i've aquired an Audi TD to tow the rallycar over, but i need an idea on ferry costs with a trailer.... would i be better off phoning around myself?

Renault21 Porsche0.... now that could only be one person.... you bringing the black beast again???

If you are, any chance of towing my trailer home if the Audi dies out there? I was gonna put a towbar on the Fiesta in case, but if you've a towbar all the better... more back-up

Would drive her over (lot simpler) but 2 degrees negative camber + many 100's of miles on the autobahn = knackered tyres.

Owain me old mucca, how are ya?

I wasnt actually planning on taking the beastie at Easter due to a couple of high performance mods required (new windscreen, and the exhaust still blows a bit...even with chewing gum on it). I was going to get a lift instead.

However, the delay in the dates has worked to my financial advantage so I will probably take her along after all...

Has your sex life improved now the foot and mouth ban has been lifted?

Could be interested in something like this... What are the likely costs?? I.e ferries, hotels,etc

Do u have to pay road tolls as i did when trucking there ???

 

£275 ish hotel + ferry

No tolls, just petrol/beer money

 

One toll road.

The Ring

All in i spent around £500 which included all my beer, food, petrol, although my car is not as thirsty as a Scoob.

 

oi Matt = u coming in the Civic this time?? Mel wants another ride <snigger>

 

April is Cool....
Or 1st May Bank Holiday?


James.

 

Mel can come for a ride anytime mate !!!

I will be there, proberly with my missus.
