You might have to call Euro tunnel to change the booking.
All okay, was my misunderstanding. 16:20 UK time is 17:20 French time...So all correct .

I have just looked at the Eurotunnel fares ,

And they are increasing slightly so the earlier you book the cheaper the fares.

An alternative to BTG taxi laps if you want... it won't be with Dale but I believe they use VLN driver(s)... better cars than the Jags too

The jags are a serious bit of kit...

Far from a standard..

Think I would take the Jag over the Bmw’s. That McLaren is a serious bit of kit mind. Trying to find Sabine & her Porker as that would be a no brainier

I went round with Dale in the jag last year. BTG time was about 7mins 40 secs. What an experience! Would highly recommend it.

Usual oil, coolant, brake fluid, check everything’s tight on suspension, and then clean clean and a bit more cleaning..

Also got to get wheel bearing swapped out - all the other mods are sitting in my office but won’t be done ready for the ring.

Been an expensive month for me... took my WRX up to Scoobyworld for a Cambelt change and a performance pack ( Down pipe replacement and EcuTek remap)ended up having to put a turbo on it, due to oil leaking down the exhaust...

Dropped the RS5 into a gearbox specialist yesterday. It’s got a gear selector position fault. So gearbox out, new filters,circuit board and clutch. Ouch.

SNAP I may have to start it up just to make sure it’s got some charge in the battery.

I have some very nice Cup 2 semislick road leagle track tyres if anyone is interested? 235/35/19 x 4. Stick like 888’s without the noise.

Yes, gonna take it to the ring. The plan was to sell it and pick up a nice blob, but it developed the gearbox fault, so will probably sell it when we get back.

I really don't want to give up on going, but I think I have to really because I need some new tyres as well now. After I changed my brakes I noticed that they are slightly worn on the inside and not in the best shape. I'm so gutted after saving and buying so much in time for the trip.
