Nige, really sorry to hear about your loss mate.

I will give you a call tomorrow for a quick chat if you don't mind?

Tim, are your chances not good at all then? Or will you still come in the RB?

It depends on if I can get Simon to come down to newhaven tomorrow (he is very busy though)as the car won't start and over fuels, and needs mapping and it needs an mot on Tuesday.....worried.....very

Sim doesn't want to take the RB as it has only just been put back together which i understand....there is an element of that with mine as i wont have driven it since late february

If Simon comes down he will sort it , MOT should be straight forward .

The driving it without any real test drives is a worry for sure mate

Nige, sorry to hear the news.

Tim, fingers crossed. Sure Simon will come through for you.

Does anyone need a magnetic GB sticker? Bought one but forgot that the car isn't magnetic.. My face was a picture when I tried putting it on and it dropped off. D'oh

When were we looking to actually go on the Ring? Do you normally try and go as a group? I am struggling to get insurance for mine whilst on the Ring (£1500 per day with £20,000 excess is the cheapest so far whilst it's free on any other track and not prepared to do it uninsured.
Looking to hire a Clio Cup or something cheap for 4 laps and obviously need to book a slot - they'd recommended first thing on Saturday as being the best time for weekend? Wanted to make sure it fitted with the flow for the weekend!

Ouch, thats some scary premiums. But i understand why you wouldn't want to risk going out there without it, its just too much of a car to risk it. I might go down for a couple of laps on the Friday evening or failing that, we quite often go down before breakfast on either the Saturday or Sunday for when it opens at 8am, one of the quietest times.

Will see what i can do, although based on our current plans you might get to Jackies before we do! Going to wander round Namur's Citadel on the Friday morning and we'll drive over after that.

Just to add - Nige, sorry to hear about your news, hope you can still make it, trip wouldn't be the same without you old boy.
Tim - hope the scoob is sorted in time, but do you have a backup plan?

Nige, as per our conversation earlier mate, I am pretty sure Jackie will understand and hold your prepayment until you go in October. Like we said, you might lose your deposit, but I'm pretty sure the rest will be fine.

I'm going to call her first thing and follow up on the prepayments and will have a chat with her, we will sort it!
