Sounds perfect to me, would be good to meet some more people in person as well. Will get me away from Wankadam aswell that is fast aproaching, just need my arm out of the cast and I'm 100% in.

Thanks everybody for the comments, much appreciated 
Yes that sticker is quite nice, different from the well known one, stands out well on the car too.
I think I could make that wallpaper 1680 x 1050, well it can be 1680 but the other side might not quite be 1050, it will be something though lol
Will post a link later bud

just finding my feet
i still love the road trip getting there but i only do it once a year rather than once a month so its totally different
even the breakdowns can be fun if theres people helping each other out
id love to go october, but i aint got anymore time off work and still aint finished the bathroom so missus wont accept another car trip
anoying as the scooby has just passed its MOT this morning too and its the first time ive drove it in 2 months too
though next year im hoping to have a "ring spec" engineto match the rest of the car and now ive bought another set of slicks that fit inside the arches again

i agree,,,,, some of the highspeed stuff in your own car is fun,,,, like when i got lost last time and SiB[/B] came to rescue me and we had to catch up with the rest of the pack,,, or last year was pretty good getting back intime for the ferry, just the reliable jap cars left at the end of the trip last year,,,,, was a nice mini convoy although i notice we stopped more than once for fuel that time,,,, funny that one aint it pmsl

Porkie: When I first took my TME over to the ring, quite a few years back, I met up with Ron Simmons in the fuel station in Adenau. We got chatting and he said to come and see him at the track the next day. I did so and was given a passenger lap ride that was clearly the best lap I had ever been on. Have you asked him to take you round yet? He is an utter psycho behind the wheel. Extremely fast...

cant really blame you for that at all,,,, im suprised your still fucking about traveling in cars tbh let alone still doing track days
im the opposite,,, im a nervous driver yet i can go on track with anyone driving like a cunt and enjoy it,,,, ive noticed the fastest laps tend to be the more boring ones and the fun ones tend not to have the smoother rides if that makes sence

that was a drive though, before i met you i had to NAIL the throttle as i was already booting it at around 100ish in the wrong direction for a few junctions,,,,, then i realised i was going the wrong way and then flying off that junction,,, straight round through a redling on the wrong side of the road still going some too and then fucked off back to where i started,,but had to go even faster to make up more ground that i lost,,,,, was sooo relived when i met you two,,,, was proper panicing as i never even had a map
that was a fun bit of driving cathing them lot till it rained,,,,, fucking stupid bosch aeroblades lifting off the screen just where i needed them to work and catching the A piller aswell,,,,, they aint designed for high speed use and when i moaned to bosch i was told,,, what person does over 120 in heavy rain
oh and that bump going onto that bridge,,,,, that was a brown trouser moment aswell
