When i went to the Belgium show a few years ago, i had to drive sideways up the ferry ramp as it was so low.....


Guys that went will know how amazing the roads are over there...and i didnt see a single speed camera/trap over there either. And the cops certainly didnt care bout us doing 100mph+, as every other car on the roads was over there too.

[SKoob]

You tallking bout the silver one,or karls,i know his anit like an old skool like the other but it still an sr styled nova,the slver one i s nice 2ltr made for rallying and racing i think,as it was at a few shows last year.No thrills to it just plenty of balls.. :D

scott

[SKoob]

the silver one m8, i love the proper old SR bumpers. The first nova i remember seeing was a Jamica Yellow SR with the early bumper 8)

[scott.parker]

yeah there was a,B reg 1.2 round by me for years in jamican yello,it alos had the old style bumpers all in one grill etc..

Nice one for putting the pictures up Neil, Andy has all the pictures we took hopefully he post them up soon. Beastie has put all his pictures up on mig though they are a little on the large side.

Allso we watched our video footage last night and its crazy! somthing to look back on :wink:

Pulling into the hotel on sunday night was like a dream. Paul had gone ahead and booked an apartment for six of us which overlooked the race track, nice one fella We unpacked the cars and went straight over to watch the last of the days session. Then out on the night for food. If you ever go i recommend the italian pinnochios, you get free pubes in your pizza! and they are the size of dustbin lids!

Monday was the day we hit the track, first visiting the museum where the usual messing around on all the kids rides took place along with some more chips and mayonnaise!

Then it was off to the track, bricking it wasnt the word. Got some good advice of some english regulars. 2 of which where the guys from the skyline GTR DVD. Olly went out with one and i went out in the others golf gti.

I did 3 laps in total, which is 42 miles flat out! Nearly stacking it at 100mph on the last lap, (sorry Mark) Followed paul for most of the laps only overtaking him once, quick car you have there mate.

Went out in marks turbo aswell, which we put on 2 wheels twice!!! the footage is something else. Neil with his 1.6 Turbo crashed smashing his front end to bits, but nothing a bit of gaffer tap couldnt sort

Overall the best weekend of my life i think and will be going back as soon as i can afford it. As for my car i think the days of show and shine are over, it now looks like its done the indy 500! twice! Plus i got to meet aload of really decent people.

Oh, i allso got my car featured by a magazine called flash while i was over there. Will keep you posted on when i get the feature back.

Thanks for reading. Karl

[Adam]

Sound pictures mate,
looks like you had a wicked time. :D

[Chris]

looks like you all had a good time. I came back from Belgium yesterday after spending a week there on the beer. We were supposed to be off to the ring but due to a buggered CV joint in Leuven we didnt make it, as we had to wait for it to be repaired. I loved the roads and the people were really helpful. Cant wait to go again next year.

Chris

[Jack]

wow.... that looks amazing.... some great pics and looks like you all had a stunning time!
