Default May 'Ring trip

There are two full weekends in May that are suitable:

Friday 13th through to Monday 16th

and

Friday 20th through to Monday 23rd

Unfortunately, neither of these falls on a Bank holiday, so makes it necessary to book two days.

So who is up for it and any preferences? (Obviously need to get sorted ASAP, as the hotels will be fully booked soon, especially if Easter is snowed off ).

Nick,
But have they managed to carry out the necessary repairs yet, 'cos if not, it's going to be closed at Easter ?

Even if you took your OWN car by yourself, it would not go over £750 (and that's if you are a raging (homo ) alcoholic . I realise you have no friends to divide the travel costs with, but IF you did have, you could divide that cost by the number of friends you had in the car with you .

I'll bring a can of paint and a brush and we can apply it to a fence and you can always watch that dry as an equivalent?

Very generous Mike think we'll all take you up on that offer, cant go back on your word at a later date though!!!

Seriously though, i'll see how the next few weeks goes with work . Its not just the cost of going, its the fact that something needs to be done about my brakes and gearbox (and suspension ) really before it's ring worthy

"Even if you took your OWN car by yourself, it would not go over £750 (and that's if you are a raging (homo icon_wink.gif) alcoholic tongue.gif. "


I took 3 passengers in the evo and it still cost way more than that.

One set of dunlop formula r's £750 set of pads £160, set of discs £150. Ferry, fuel like it was leaking out the tank, hotel and food.


BUT it was the best money I EVER spent

Rock on the nurburgring

I'll be back

Stevie,
You mean you actually owned that car - I thought it was stolen given the amount of abuse that was dished out to it .
