Re: Ring trip October 18th-21st 2008
Too right Jaffa, regards people initially putting their names down months in advance and then bailing out whenever they feel like it. People should put their money where their mouth is and pay up at least a sizeable non refundable amount to secure their place, end of. I think it's the fact that the hotel never took or asked for a deposit that some people see fit to not bother going and not say anything.
The reason i book my own ferry crossing and last time booked my own double room

Re: Ring trip October 18th-21st 2008
Jaff, if that pop was at me for now not making Oulton Park trackday, and not turning upto ND in the jap taxi, there's 2 genuine reasons why that's the case. However, I've given plenty of notice that I won't be at Oulton, and I still turned up at ND regardless.
The difference is, both of those actions hadn't/hasn't left anyone out of pocket.
Anyway, what's done is done now, so we'll leave it there.

I had a great time, another 6 laps added to the Clio Diesel Learner car, best time is 10:30odd with 2 passengers.
The Diesel needs more power up the hills and i will crack the sub 10's.... But next year i hope to be there in a 5 of some sort. :)

Re: Ring trip October 18th-21st 2008
Hi peeps, I arrived at 11pm yesterday but absolutely shattered. Had a really good weekend away, as always a pleasure to hook up with the regular crew.
Did 3 laps and on the 3rd i lost braking doing 110mph into the series of corners after the 1st bridge and start/finish line. metal grinding noises on the way back to the hotel so i'm driving gingerly. Bought new rear brake pads on the Monday in Adenau, took the passenger wheel off and bosh! The inner pad had fallen out and the piston was hitting the disc everytime i applied the brake.
Big thanks to Bruce for doing the brakes, managed to get home ok but i'll be needing new discs. Deffo thinking 4 pots.

Re: Ring trip October 18th-21st 2008
Great weekend, shattered like all, early night and work in morning. Car made it there and back with some nice wiring for the fan :)
Need to load up some pics got 65 in total, never really take any.
Got to say thats the dodgiest pub ive been to for ages. And those shots were awful.
Anyway found a pic of shoppers driving round

540's the way to go i think M8! 740's a bit of a lard barge!

Aye all good ta Adey, back about 9ish last night in convoy with Kris and Scotty. We managed to get a slightly earlier 5:35 train and it happened to port in about the same time as Kris' ferry so we hooked up in Ashford Tescos and off we pootled.
Awesome weekend peeps, massive thank you to sexy Chris Smith for arranging it for us, I can't wait to go back again. Paul said he'll upload the pics/videos later on, some of them are hysterical :laugh:
Had a nice play with a 300bhp Golf GTi on the way home, he followed us into Reading services simply to ask how a 1.4 GT Turbo whooped him lol?! :agree:
Gonna feel gutted going back to work tomorrow :(
