Nurburgring Final details

[karl Rowntree]

Ok guys ive got all the names togeather and it looks like we have quite a good bunch of people making the trip. Hopefully everyone is booked up for the ferry now, i am phoning the hotel tomorrow and reserving the rooms all you guys have to do is phone up and talk to Edgar and say you are in my group. You will have to leave your card details, but you do not pay anything until you leave.

There are 14 of us making the trip in our group, let alone all the evo boys! We are as follows

Karl + Andy Bishop
Chris + Charlotte
Ben Gunn + Passenger
Ben + Passenger
Keith + Passenger
Edd (my friend) + james
Adam M + passenger


So there we have it, team F*** YEAH part 2! We have everything from a tuned 1.3 up to a crazy spec 2L nova to a turbo mk1 astra.

Anyone else that wishes to join in contact me and i will help you out as much as i can. I only have 4 places left in the hotel that edgar can spare for our group, but he cant hold them for me.

If you want to take a look at the hotel you can see the website at www.pension-muehlenhardt.de. Trust me its mint!

Wait for me guys to text you before you contact the hotel, just so i can clear it with Edgar. Thanks

Karl

Ben

[Adam Moran]

I'm all booked up :D

Just out of intrest how much is the 5 nite stay at Edgars?

[krobinson]

Thats my boat booked now.. For some odd reason its now ?50, whereas it quoted me ?60 a few days ago!! Still, its still gonna cost a fortune, as the boat to scotland is ?140!!

Cheers for getting the hotel sorted Karl! And good to see Edd's bringing the turbo Astra, i defo want a run out in that!! And in your nova!

My engines well on the way now, and should be finished in a few weeks.. yeehaa! Plenty of Loctite this time!

Keith

[Ben]

Cheers Karl.

Will hopefully know within the next 2-3 weeks what car im taking.

[Jonlem]

All booked up with Ad to come,

either taking my car or hopefully ads if it is done in time

can't wait, nice one Karl :)

[krobinson]

Karl,

Looks like we have one, maybe two more cars from Northern Ireland coming. One Evo, which is pretty much certain. He's booking our boat, and will get his own accomidation for him and his girl, and the other bloke is looking into it!

Keith

[karl Rowntree]

Hi all

Sorry ive not been on in a few days, i am working 18 hour days to pay for the trip and to get the nova back on the road! I toasted pretty much all the running gear after last years track days si it needs a fair bit spent on it :cry: But it WILL be ready.

Everyone is now booked up, though like you keith i have more people lined up. It will be a busy weekend as edgar said it is the last full weekend of the year.

Keith, i hope your mate in the evo is minted as it cost me a small fortune to go to the ring from birmingham in mine let alone NI! It really isnt an option for me to go in mine again, but ive done it once and thats all i wanted to do :wink:

Anyway, bring it on1 I am staying in now until september 15th so i really can enjoy myself :lol:

Speak to you all soon. Karl

[NovaNeil]

Hi Karl,

Im still hoping very much to come, but theres no way I can commit this soon im afraid.

I'll only know a couple of weeks before if I can make it. But fingers crossed!!!!

Neil

[Chris]

I am all sorted (booking wise anyway), thanks to Karl for that, parcel on its way to you mate. Just need to make sure the car is good to go now

Chris

[karl Rowntree]

Thanks Chris :wink:


No worries Neil, i really hope you will be able to make it mate. Word of warning though as soon as you know you will be able to go, enquire about your accomodation as edgar has told me it will be one of the busiest weekends of the year.

Hope you get the money togeather mate.
:wink:

Karl

[krobinson]

I got a huge shock today when my work told me i cant have the time off!! :o :o

So after loads of pleading, they are letting me know tomorrow, I think i've narrowed it down to one conflicting day! I really cant see them not allowing it!

Damn work lol

Dont worry tho, i'm still going, work or no work! :)

Keith

[OllyHewitt]

Hiya All,

Just to let you know that Me & Michelle are also booked up for the Ring, big thanks to Karl for organising it, and along with Jonboy & Adam for the information about it too.

Ferry is all booked up, and I've just gotta call Edgars tomorrow to book our room (hopefully it's not fully booked...) ... just out of interest... what are we to do if it is fully booked? :cry:

Looking forward to meeting a few new faces, for those that don't know me, I drive this:

Really looking forward to it now, just gotta get this trackday at Donny this Friday out the way first - then it's all preperation!

Take care all, look forward to meeting a few new faces


Olly & Michelle

[OllyHewitt]

Doh! Read above...

[charlottle]

... just out of interest... what are we to do if it is fully booked? :cry:



if he is full just give chris a pm and he will send you some other details of another decent hotel.

charlotte

[OllyHewitt]

Just called Edgar, very nice chap - speaks excellent english too!

All booked up for Me & Michelle, it was 25.50euros per person - so worked out at 51euros per night :) for the both of us.

Well excited now, ferry and hotel all booked up... :D :D :D

[krobinson]

Good man Olly, See you there!

I'm just getting mine through MOT on wednesday, then all prep'd for the trip. A good RR setup and a few more miles on the new engine!

This should be a good trip, i hope you can handle your beer :lol:

Keith

[OllyHewitt]

I'm sure I'll manage the alcohol consumption :o :lol:

Mine went through MOT last week, failed on emissions, so wound the fuel pressure down to 2bar, and it flew through, so wound it back up to 3.5bar again

hehehe

[Chris]

nice one olly, I am looking forward to it, but I think I might need most parts re-building before the trip, and I have got 2 track days to get through lol

chris

[Chris]

This should be a good trip, i hope you can handle your beer :lol:

Keith

Do they have beer in Germany?

[Ben]

getting very concerned about what im taking :lol:

[karl Rowntree]

Glad you are all sorted Olly, will pass any details onto you nearer the day.

Cant wait now, i am slowly rebuilding the nova to its former glory (big thanks to Mr Bishop for all his help and the use of his garage :wink: ) The nova is starting to change a bit and it seems ive spent a fortune, but nothing too serious.

I will be testing my car at Trax, the week before the ring! :o What could possibly go wrong....

As for the beer, if its anything like last time :o we are in for some fun.

What are you planning on taking Ben?

Karl

[Mark Beeson]

I want to come now!!!! :? Stupid me booked up for Rally GB instead :oops: . Cars just failed MOT anyway!

[krobinson]

I want to come now!!!! :? Stupid me booked up for Rally GB instead :oops: . Cars just failed MOT anyway!

Get it booked Mark, cancel the Rally GB :P What did it fail on? I hope i can scrape through on emissions, the new engines running 2 then Co2 and just under 600 on the hydrocarbs. Was 4 on Co2 and 1400 on Hydros until we pulled the timing back and tweeked the carbs.

Other than that, i just need to sort the back brakes from being so sharp, going to buy a willwood brake bias controller.

Keith

[Ben]

What are you planning on taking Ben?

Karl

I hoping to take the Corsa V6 but atm its loking dubious, just need some sleepless nights to get it sorted.

Main problem is cant find the parts i need eg: want to fit some 3.0l cam's before i fit the engine but clever me sold some 3 weeks before i decided to take this on.

[NovaBen]

I cant wait to be back there either! Try and get some quicker times in as long as i get my engine sorted, not quite sure whats going on with it at the mo!

Oh, just to rub it in, i'm going to America next Wednesday for the whole of August, building and preparing Rally and Race cars with my uncle over there! :lol: Cannot wait at all.

Will be back in plenty of time for Trax though, and i've got another RR booked for when i come back, just to make sure she is running fine for Germany! :wink: I was contemplating taking my rally car to Germany instead, but we shall see.

Speak soon.

Keith[/quote]

just do the saloon rear brake compensators Kieth. Youll have to re pipe your car front / back other wise.

Its failed on

no washer bottle :lol:
brake light out!!!!!!
headlight switch out of reach. (passed last year with the same bloke!!!)
Front goodridge brake hoses touch the wheels on full lock. Eh???? Fitted 2 years ago and passed last year!!!!.

Pretty small jobs really. It wouldnt be right if it didnt fail on something!!

As for the RING i bet your really jelous of me. Ill be chasing rallyGB all over wet miserable Wales. Sleeping 3 up in a Zafira GSI for 3 nights. Different but good fun. :D

[karl Rowntree]

Not too bad then Mark! They didnt have a problem with the turrets then?

Damn i wish i was going to wales! You can stay in my unit if you want :lol:

[OllyHewitt]

Mark - sorry you never actually grabbed my camcorder off me on the dodgems @ Billing :lol: ya git, almost got it though! :P

Strange one about your MOT, I failed on no washer bottle, so put it back in for test, brake light was out too, but he replaced it for me, and he moaned that my switches weren't "fixed", feck sake - I had cable tied them together - what more does he want!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[karl Rowntree]

Olly, as we havnt met yet I was the person on the dodgems that kept hitting you. Oh and also the one that hit you head on and said fcuk yeah!

Karl

:D :D :D LMAO - that was well funny. You did get a bit ganged up on by us all Olly. Don't think you realised there were so many of us who knew who you were. All good fun though mate!!!

Where is the footage!! post it up!

Mart

[OllyHewitt]

Got the footage - still recovering from concussion! :lol:

No, I never knew that you all knew who I was - that's no fair :P

Mine failed yesterday!! Play in front nearside bearing, and play in offside balljoint, very strange as they are new and i cant find any play in them lol. It also failed on one headlight being a little bit out, and the braided brake lines catching on full lock.

Re-test next saturday, not much to sort!

Keith

[karl Rowntree]

Glad to hear it Keith. You going on Track at Silverstone mate? I will be and think both of us should lol. I will fix your car for you if it brakes!

Got to put mine through an MOT yet :lol: That should be a right laugh. Waiting on the new bits first before i give it a go, then its off to the rolling road.

Karl

[MARTIN KELSON]

Hi Karl,
You got that box in yet? Just remember if it brakes in Germany its nothing to do with me!!!!
Should see ya at Trax hopefully. Just in middle of buying a house so i dont think car will be out again for a long time but will try for Trax!!!

Good luck in Germany and take it easy.........Not!!

Cheers

Karl

Yeah, i'll go on the track, but i hear the PVG dont have a dedicated session this year? :( But maybe we can join in with someone else. Do i need to bring a helmet? (i dont have one) or do they provide them? lol

Keith

[karl Rowntree]

Hi Martin, as if i would hold it against you if the gearbox blows up. I am quite capable of blowing a normal gearbox up myself! :lol: Really appreciate you giving me the box mate :wink: Its in the car now after a right game to get it in, and apart from a slight rattle when we first started it up all is good. Allso managed to bag andys new bad boy hubs and drive shafts for the trip over!

Really wish you could make the journey with us but maybe next year hey. Oh and we had better see you on track at silverstone! Fancy booking a session with me and beastie if you can make it?

Hi Keith, yes mate bring a helmet if you can as the ones they have are minging! Oh and i will keep you posted on track time, me and beastie are going to find an intresting group to go on with :twisted:

Karl

[MARTIN KELSON]

Hi Karl,
Just booked my entry tickets with PVG so just going to go down, get in then book a session in the afternoon.
Definetly, me, you, beastie and whoever else we can get together should be good for a bit of track action.

Cheers

[benji]

i'll be at trax, let me know when you boys are on track and i'll join you aswell

[OllyHewitt]

'll be up for some track action @ Trax - but I'm not a member of PVG :(

Any suggestions on what to do?

[Adam Moran]

Join :lol: Only ?6 a year and it saves you 10% off you insurance with AF ;)

[Ben]

You would need to save 75% to make them viable :lol:

[Mark Beeson]

book up yourself. You dont have to be in a club

[Adam Moran]

You would need to save 75% to make them viable :lol:

Who do you use Ben? Cause i could do with a very good quote on mine lol

[Mark Beeson]

Sorry lads but what will save you 10% with flux?

[Adam Moran]

Joining PVG, well thats what i got told :?

[Ben]

Adam i have got a trade policy which covers me to drive anything except american/canadian cars for ?795 per year.

[Adam Moran]

:o How do i get one of those :lol:

[Ben]

Become a motor trader!

lol no you need to be able to prove that you turn over a minnimum of 8 cars a year which isnt hard have done about 14 in the last 6 weeks.

[benji]

how can you prove it? send in a load of old V5's??

[Ben]

If they ask then you need to show reciepts for cars bought and sold etc.

Also need to keep them imformed loosely of cars in your possesion.
