Anyone else going? I'm defo going and am trying to round up some of the VAG brethren. So far we stand at about 6-8 Octavias, possibly a couple of SEATs and I know 1 or 2 of you are contemplating it.

 

er yeah!

I will prob buy another car for this one though!

 

i may just pop along. i might have a quicker car by then.

 

WE will be there for the 18-22 July..The palce wil be rocking!!

 

Hello
Got room for 1 more whos dealing with hotels etc or is it DIY

 

Will come too most probably.


Ralf

 

hope so ralf, it was good to meet you. Get a copy of cossie killer at the ring, you can learn the lines well from that.

 

If people want hotels I can organise these and ferries for anyone.

 

It'd be rude not to

 

I still owe you a couple of laps Chris! Are you bringing your "mechanic/co-driver" along again, as I have a bottle of rather nice single malt for him. And what motor will it be this time?

 

Hmmmmmm, i'll try, no commitment yet tho.

I feel the draw of the combination of these three things, Ring/340R/summer

 

..anyone promise that it will be dry??

 

Same again then Graham....though this time I'll be able to party

 

possibly... here's hoping for a BIG bonus next month!

 

no can do gonna have to sell the car.

already splitting up with the (darlin') missus cos of this trip, money worries etc. and i'm well f@cked off about that.

might beg a passenger ride closer to the time, but at the moment i couldn't give a toss.

sorry 2 put a downer on anyone

Owbow the grease monkey

 

Yep will be up for this trip, will be booking last minute thou, new job, can't ask for too much time off.

 

Owen sorry to hear that mate i can say i know excactly what you going through as i have just split from my wife Good luck mate hope it aint to rough
jonathan

 

sorry about that owen!
Dont let it get you down too much, remember class moments like this from the trip, it certainly wasnt boring anyway.



You wont have a problem getting a lift mate!

 

Owen, this is the best place to come and throw all your troubles in the bin at Calais. I will agree with you that it is hard to be bothered and I know how your feeling at the mo, cos mines about to take everything, bl00dy solicitors! oh and the mother in law is a bit of a b1tch also, never did like her. So come along time to recreate John's picture.

 

well things are now sorted with the missis, WELL SORTED!!!

the car is now rnnin like a dream , not leaking a drop of oil (NO it ain't cos there's none in there to leak!!) snd after a few adjustments to the timing, and clearing the last of the 91 octane i put in by mistake, she feels 50 bhp up on what i was pootling round the ring on!!! TYPICAL!!

have now sorted the neg camber and toe out, she goes round corners too!!!

now the financial side, i'm having reaal trouble sorting that...

does anyone know of a good-paying job for me? a lot of you know what i'm capable of.... but i'm only getting paid £4.60 an hour!!!

i'm willing to relocate, as is the darling love of my life, pretty much anywhere there's more life than South Wales... not difficult!

any suggestions?

Owain

 

Owen you have mail m8

 

Owen
You have e-mail m8
Jonathan

 

does that mean you posted a letter first and then an email after, so they arive at the same time?

 

No i did not know if it had posted as i got kicked out of freeserve so posted again DOH didnt check first

 

Thanks Jonathan, i look forward to hearing from your mate!

Could be very interesting...

now a lot happier chappie, Owain the grease monkey!

 

I will get new brakes on the 3-door and I will be there. Paul Palmer will prolly be coming along (maybe) either as co-pilot or in his Integrale.

can anyone give me a rough idea of the cost btw?
astraboy.

 

Reckon on about 5-600 for a long weekend. Breakdown as follows:

Ferry and accom - £200 (contact Jon @ Bike2track)
Food - £50
Petrol - £200
Laps - £150ish

Thats a really rough idea. Petrol will be dependent on how many laps. Bet on 3-4 tanks there and back (depends on how you drive) whilst there you will probably get 6-10 per gallon. Each lap is 13 miles (ish). The 150 for laps gives you 24, for the weekend. Some do more (eg me who does between 15 and 25 per day) some do less.

 

Should be going on this one, will try and drag some more Honda Type R's along.

Wishing for better weather this time

 

I'll try to make it, not sure if I'm working then, or if Mrs Lurker is going to drag me off on holiday!
