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.

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.

bike2track 10 May 2002 08:00 AM

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

Mellow Yellow ! 10 May 2002 08:01 AM

It'd be rude not to :)

TaviaRS 10 May 2002 09:18 AM

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?

Skippy 10 May 2002 09:47 AM

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

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

Richard Askew 10 May 2002 11:52 AM

..anyone promise that it will be dry?? :rolleyes:

Mellow Yellow ! 10 May 2002 01:18 PM

Lou_C 10 May 2002 09:58 PM

You wont have a problem getting a lift mate!

bike2track 12 May 2002 06:59 AM

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.

owbow 13 May 2002 12:14 PM

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

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 :D

gossythevaleter 13 May 2002 12:27 PM

Owen you have mail m8

gossythevaleter 13 May 2002 12:28 PM

Jonathan

johnfelstead 13 May 2002 06:07 PM

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

gossythevaleter 13 May 2002 06:29 PM

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

owbow 14 May 2002 07:51 PM

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

Could be very interesting...

now a lot happier chappie, Owain the grease monkey! :D


astraboy 31 May 2002 02:26 PM

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.

astraboy 31 May 2002 02:36 PM

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

TaviaRS 31 May 2002 06:03 PM

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.

Type R 03 June 2002 08:30 PM

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

Wishing for better weather this time :D

Foreign Lurker 05 June 2002 03:46 PM

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!
