Right!
I've done a bit of juggling about and put a proposal to my uni lecturers and... subject to their green light... i'm in
I'll be bringing my girlfriend Marie hopefully and we'll either be in the loony spec Focus or if there are any problems, my trusty 200bhp diesel golf
I'll be travelling with the southern crowd too as i'll need to pick Marie up from Birmingham on my way south!

if i can get a passenger to help with costs i may be up for this, problem is my gearbox ratio's are stupid 70mph is around 4k! It will be a noisy journey lol.

Chuck some 20" wheels on there or something to get the gearing back into normal territory!
It's a great trip if you're a petrol head

Is that the uk 5th gear ratio? pmsl@closed loop at 100mph i can only dream of that.
20" wheels would look at home at maxpower live but not at the ring lol.

oh crap,,,,, that means 2 cars are gonna brake down on the way holding up our convoy again, thought everyone learned from this stupidity
good thing that we are going witha MOT tester and a full set of tools to help bodge the rust buckets together,, ill bring a few business cards too so they can get a discount on any parts they WILL need

The various elements of the Shonkyopel.de members are out at the ring at the same time (21st to 28th), unfortunatley doesnt seem to be an equal amount of shonky fords to battle against
from memory we "should" be there in
Nova 1800 ITB's
Astra Nurburgendy 1800
Astra GSI Turbo
Manta V6 ITB's
Nova 2000 XE ITB's
Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition
Astra VXR
Corsa 1800
Corsa 1800
and...
Golf mk4
Puma
MR2
dont think we can compete on ŁŁŁ spent either gong on the PF list, but then that wouldnt be the vauxhall way
