Default Im off to the "Ring"

Well i leave This friday (28th) For My first weekend at the ring this year, I went last year a couple of times in my MR2 Turbo

Never driven the wrx hard yet so it should be fun......still got a few bits to get sorted like i,ve just got some 4-pots and some new disc's and pads to fit....some new ARB's and drop links along with my AST sportline coilovers if they arrive!!!! Oh and i still got to get the leaking rockers sorted and fit a stereo that works!!!

Coffee........i need coffee

Cheers.!!

Ps. anyone from here going to be at the ring this weekend??

Insurance is a strange question ......not wanting to start a big debate but unless your policy excludes de-restricted toll roads you should be covered......

Yeah they let anyone on

You have to tell your insurance company you are going abroad but for gods sake dont tell them you're going to the ring, your cover will be dropped quicker than you can say willop........

My 205 lives there for 8 months of the year. The drive there and back in March and November usually is a fingers crossed affair so its better for me to leave the car there and be done with it .......

If you're asking what cars I have been round the ring in, it varies from rental astra's to 996GT3's being driven by race drivers, or lunatic locals........

Just make sure you have good breakdown cover ......

come over to northloop for a chat mate, all your questions can easily be answered there.

Anywhere you like mate, just post a question up and a multitude of like minded idiots will appear as if by magic...

Plenty of vids and stuff to watch too.
