Who has got what to do for the SES 2014 trip??
 

My list this year for the scoob in no particular order is :

1: Get a full tank of V Power.
2: Headlight beam deflectors
3: Update my sat nav
4: Check all the tyre pressures.
5: brake down recovery with repatriation.
6: have a chat with Mr G Moulson

and that is about it.....:doubleup:

1. Got to get from my house to the train to meet PPP

2. Get some euro type money

3. Gain a few stone to slow PPP down

:wave:

Some cup parts for the suspension and that's about it. Need an extra fuel tank.as can only get 250 miles out of it

Passport......

Brakes
Drop Links
Recovery
Track Insurance
Beam Deflectors

Whatever else falls off or breaks before I go, after tonight I may be fixing the rear bumper on with Gaffa tape

heheh :)

That much I wish I could get as far as that..:lol:

1: Map tweek/fit MD321T!.
2: Fit new pads (after goodwood) and bleed brakes
3: Renew the ADAC cover... Done
4: have a chat with Mr Moulson
5: Get some Euro's
6: Make sure I have room for all those continental breakfasts.

Don't start this again, I'm still recovering from last years list.

:lol:

All the usual stuff on my list, assuming the scoob is fine for the trip. Had it serviced today including gearbox/diff oil, geo tweaked, new front drop links as the old ones were duff and it feels much better on the front end, more responsive.

Only possible issue were the chunks of metal stuck to the gearbox drain magnet :paranoid: but the gearbox oil has done 30,000 miles/5 years. Could have happened last week, could have happened years ago. Not making any noises in any gears that are different to how its sounded forever so I'll be keeping an eye on it (or on the lookout for a replacement box...)

Service and maybe an oil cooler. Hopefully nothing else! Got to get Euro recovery and insurance also. Got a Euro Travel kit coming with all the necessary bits I need to drive through Europe. Thinks that's it, other than Euros of course. Actually flying to Nuremburg next Wednesday morning to watch United play Bayern Munich!

And mighty fine coffee mate ..

That too! :P :five:

I do hope Liz gets well soon..

Has Harry packed his bag yet??

Thanks Ian, Liz`s mobility is improving but not sure if there are enough days left though?

As for H he is on standby, just have to book his days off and as I can do that for him it shouldn`t be a problem, just not sure about the sleeping arrangements or if the bed will be big enough? :grin:

I'm happy to make lots of stops on the journey down with you if that makes things easier and enables Liz to come along. It wouldn't be the same without her there!

Will be a shame if Liz can't make it:cry: but health comes first:ok:

Cheers Ron,fingers crossed.

Thanks Greg, I know you are use to stopping with me bringing up the rear :grin:

But wouldn`t dream of holding up your dream machine :worthy:,straight lines should be ok just the twistys could be a problem.

OK, so I stole Ian's list then added to it... plenty to do then!

Your list is pretty similar to mine Steve. Need to pull my finger out. Also my other car has it's MOT tomorrow and know it's failed on a hydraulic pipe, just hope it's not too expensive to fix. Then the Scoob goes off to my bodyshop mate to fit new front poo guards and refit fog covers. Then i need to get it to SMD to get oil and filter changed and pray to god they don't find anything else that needs doing. Other than all that, I'm good to go.hahahaha.

Oh yeah, they both run out of tax at the end of the month....

Can anyone tell me how much the euro cover including track day and recovery will be roughly please?

PM sent :nod:

If you got a iphone or android download navfree UK&ROI and you can download maps for Germany for £1.99 hope that helps Steve

Cheers Scotty.

My old tomtom europe has always been fine in the past, its only when they move the roads it all goes wrong ;)

Think i'm ready for Thursday, although i keep double checking my lists as i'm sure i've forgotten something lol, even managed to clean the car today :-)

Have a good trip....:five:

: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.
