:norty:Cheers Ian

Argh panic, my contract keeps getting extended and I want to take time off to get my golf ready, waiting for parts to arrive from America, milltek are out of stock of parts, another stressful run up to Nurburg trip.

:angst::angst::angst::angst::angst:

You have only had a year....:-o

Cheers...:five:

I am toying with going back on October 3,4,5,6....:drive:

Provisionally sounds good as Sept I'm in Africa
:martyn:

Brakes - Done, refurbed calipers, braided lines and new pads.
Recovery - Done (Churchills with repatriation for £31)
Track Insurance (Need to see the forecast before I book a day)
Beam Deflectors and breathalysers - Ordered
Mount Fire Extinguisher - will probably go in a box in the boot
Euros - nearer the time
Then just wash it, inflate it, gas it, drive it :doubleup:

Should be Golf, maybe jag as a backup or possibly Scoob, who knows lol.

As long as your there mate, it doesn't matter what car you bring.

If you end up in the Jag, i'm happy to give you another lap in the scoob ;)

;)

Lol cheers Steve, I'll bring toilet roll this time.

Shout if you need a hand with the car Si!

Edited for accuracy!

What, to wipe his backside? :polish:

:sos::tumbleweed:

!!! hahaha !!!

Only now do I realise the error of my quoting!, I meant with car/s and of course, I have issues with man poo

cheers Dave, I can wipe me own bum, just, but help with the car maybe be good as I am running out of days rapidly, currently on bald flat tyres, no mot, no tax, no insurance. needs a clean, poly bushing and god knows what.

So which vehicle is it going to be?

Sounds like the Golf to me ;)

Moving along quite nicely so far. ADAC recovery sorted, car booked in for oil/filter change and check over. Health insurance sorted. Just Euros and track day cover to sort......So long as my trip to SMD doesn't throw up anything nasty!

[QUOTE=...So long as my trip to SMD doesn't throw up anything nasty![/QUOTE]

It will be fine...:doubleup:

Yeah I'm sure it will be too mate. :-)

What day are you down there? I'll be there on Wednesday next week :)

Ha, Tuesday next week mate. What are you getting done? Hopefully mine will just be the oil and filter.

I'm getting my rear brakes sorted as the current WRX 2 pots have seized and aren't up to the job. Brembos going on, new discs/pads and bigger handbrake shoes to match the larger hub on the STI.

And then the car should be ready apart from a wash! :)

1: Get a full tank of V Power. Done
2: Headlight beam deflectors. Done
3: Update my sat nav. Done
4: Check all the tyre pressures.Done
5: Breakdown recovery + repatriation including Ins renewal @KM.
6: Service and mot. Done
7: Iron the seat covers (lol) just for you Ian :grin: Done
8: Fit 2014 Ring Stickers(on the train).
9: Wing women fit. Done (just about).

11: Pack.
12: Clean the car (if it stops raining!)

Getting a tad excited, so looking forward to getting away with a great bunch of people and my best mate Liz!

Your fuel would of started to go off by then, i suggest you go for a drive and use it up before hand and fill up just before you go, or i know someone who would be happy to take it for a spin for you and make sure your tyres are OK :wink: :)

I'll be filling up at the services at Ashford on the morning, as long as i've got enough in the tank to get there i'm sorted :)

Good news Liz is coming then?:doubleup:

I bet H is gutted..

I`ve seen how you warm up your tyres Ian so I`ll pass on your kind offer thanks. :wink:

H seems ok,I think he always knew how determined Liz was to try and make the trip, he would love to bring his own car but this year is not really an option for him.

Getting there :)
