only 2 and a bit hours to go and then its time to hiut the road - ghod my bollocks are tingling with excitement, the car is packed with more food than a tesco delivery wagon and i'm starting to feel hungry already

woooooooooooooooooooooo

 

I've got to catch the train to Peterborough later to pick mine up .

Clutch is done, twin nozzle WI done, aux radiator still hasn't turned up yet .

 

how many posts on the ring are we gonna see

 

We're leaving at 5am tomorrow.

CraigN is stopping over at my place tonight, i dont think he has a clue what he is letting himself in for though, will probably get seduced by a couple of polish girls trying to get a british passport

 

Im out of here right now chaps.. see you in Folkestone

Gracie... call me later with an update

 

ooo mike - cutting it fine boyo

and what happened about this rear beam then - is JC taking it?


Westy - you're only jealous because we have signatures

 

I keep thinking that lol

Affect wears off after a few trips there, im just looking forward to the beer this trip

Fair play though to all the first timers they will love it.

 

Stu - willdo chap

Can we keep this post away from sexual content please Gracey?


See you there big boy

fooooooook sakes chippy


aduz - i aint played any computer games at all so don't even know what the ring looks like from a drivers point of view

 

Remember that the continent is a race track from the second you land over there.

Tell them I said it was fine

If you meet that Belgian copper on the motorbike with the gun, say hi from the lads in the evo

RW

 

Ive told you not to call me "chippy" in public, thats only for in bed.

 

you're all fooking crazeeeee

 

Paul,
Brom bloody delivered it to me at Trax, so I have to somehow "squeeze it in the back", something I'm sure you're familiar with .

 

d'oh

never mind tho - at least its getting over there one way or another

 

07841 038209

My number if any of you wanna bell me and say hi and let me know where you at.

I am meeting Stu in a couple of hours and travelling to folkestone tonight.

Mege excited..

 

like i said mike, the estate is going over and has plenty of room. put it in there. stu will be leaving norfolk in it tomorrow afternoon, so there's plenty of time to arrange something. i'll try to stay online this afternoon if you want to reply or pm and i'll get in touch with him to arrange delivery or collection or whatever if you want.

 

 

get one in yer car for the way down

 

thought about this - but when doing 90 on the M1 and trying to play GT4 at the same time, there could be implications

 

Thanks for the offer Nick, but I'm pretty sure it will all fit .

 

bttt for mike

 

Leaving at 3pm so will be straight on the M6 and playing catch up. Make sure there is a JD on the bar for me Dan

 

I had never played the game, and i had never been a passenger on the track, or even watched a full lap video of the track ever, my first exposure to the ring was driving it.

I think thats a perfetly acceptable way to do it, the dangerous people are ones who think they know it when they dont!

Ive been round it a few dozen times now but i still treat it as if i dont know it and just drive to what i can see for a large portion of the track.


***EDIT
cant believe i used the phrases "exposure to the ring" and "large portion" in a message to you, i really need to pay more attention

 

alright mike , but it really would be no bother. if you're driving from peterborough to norwich you'll more or less go right past it as well.

 

 

I am a brave man letting chip have the use of my car for his first lap

Dam good driving though m8

 

Nah not brave mate, just stupid

Still cant beleive how quickly the ring ruined the brakes, we werent even half way round when they started smoking the pads, and yet they seemed fine on the road on the drive over.

Just shows how heavy all those gradients are on the car when you are flat out.


Hope everyone has decent pads in their car!

 

just steer with yer legs

 

Good job we had some spares what were upto the job.

Chip, Do you know if the VW lot and Miles etc in the M3 are going ?

 

Not this time sadly mate.

Oh, and Lotey (the one with the mk5 golf, nearly standard doing 8 mins 40 laps) has written another car off recently apparently, lol, win or crash trying is ok on the track, but not on the road!

That guy is a nutter!


Shame Miles isnt going though, his driving was great, really smooth and fluid and safe, much like Mr Rainbum really TBH

Never a worrying moment in the car with him

 

He was spot on Miles that is at driving the place.

Even Cally enjoyed it

PM me your moby number m8 as i lost my phone.

Will ring you when i get there to hellarise you and the random one.

 

Oh yeah lottey guy who wrote the evo off, and also tried pulling sabine ROFL.

Sabine to him very nice lines you have

What about Lance in the mk1 golf first time round and he was putting in very quick times.

 

Yeah lance was amazingly quick for a first timer but has the right car for the job and lots of experience driving it so i guess that all helped.

LOL @ Lotey trying to pull Sabine, im pretty sure it was the other way round, she was the one hugging him


07949 190766 is best number to catch me on over there fella as i wont have my normal phone with me probably anyway.
