Nooo, just for the trip
And if you look on the right of the picture, you can see 2 dark bottle with red cap
A french speciality we put on beer
Hé hé hé...
i was wondering what that was chuck another in for me
what time you guys setting off/arriving??
I don't really know, i thing around the middle of evening.
An other bottle ???
There is already 2 liters, enouth for 90 beers !
And a can't do any shopping before leaving, i start working early tomorrow and came back just for picking my car...
Ah so you add it to the beer? Good luck with the journey anyway im sure we'll all be well on our way by the time you arrive
we should be there just after dinner
Ok so in true RTOC fashion I started the outstanding work on the track beast the weekedn before. Collected the trailer and car which ate half of saturday (started at 6am ) completed some chores and spent a couple of hrs late in the evening trying to remember what the hell I was doing lol
Spent most of sunday finishing most of the wiring, pipework, start setting up the stack dash and installed the EVC boost controller.
Car starts and drives although some strange slight metalic grinding from the box that was not there was I drove it last year is present hope its due to sitting in storage so long but will find out soon enough
So no time to get geo or RR or in fact finish the custom bonnet so its the mad max bonnet (engine sticking out of it lol) and set the boost up on track and hope the rad is upto the job of cooling and everything functioning as it should
Figured I could always tweak it on the day but better to actually get there with it this year was better than a fully finished product
VX220 vag conversion delayed a further 2 weesk now
Really looking forward to coming and need to dig out tent next
So sure I will be busy trying to finish a load of smaller jobs off and 1 big job - make seat which failed in epic style last time
DG
Place ya bets...
Mart sent you a picture yesterday, did you not get it? Cheeky fecker
I will there in the car as it happens firends VX220 that I drove at Donny December gone is available if I want but gonig to risk it all on the track beast and hope it does not die or kill me
DG
No picture received mate.
It'll be good to finally see the track beast in the flesh
You & Sarah there both nights?
Did wonder why no relpy
Will have a look but just trying to upload a few cheeky pics
Yes going to come up tut north Friday evening after work and dropping young Grier off to nanny day care
Hopefully if I need help to tweak the car will have plenty of time and few likely lads around to help. Been told under no circumstances NOT to track the octavia LOL - fancy some 4 wheel drifting with the new setup but alas it has done 121k and needs to tow the trailer back home so prob for the best in fairness gets abused as it is
You there Friday night also sir?
DG

Changed over the rear screen, got in another now with a raider wording on it, looks much nicer on the back and not showing loads of scratches on it now in the window. Just need to find the sticker to put in the back of the window plus sort out a good replica of the more to life with renault.
Bigfoot try this,

I know it's there, it's an ok replica, comparing to Steves original rather get closer to that. No offence to his copy as he has got it replicated himself.
Pretty much ready
That's looking awesome Tony
I now have top mounts to investigate, the solids appear to not like the leda coilies and are making a right racket/squeak
well people talk about r5s being a pain, my escort van has had a mini 5gtt wobbler yesterday, clutch was very poor luckily i checked the cable and have tightened it up which has seemed to have done the trick, panic over
All packed and about to leave. Safe journey everyone
