  1. i wouldnt recomend Elephant, we stayed here for the 2009 GP. Location in relation to the circuit was great 20mins walk to the entry at bottom of Aue Rouge but that is where the positives end. the site is on 3 levels so by the end of day 1 the bottom sites was like scene from glastonbury and guess where the only shower block is. so you have to walk through the mud back to your tent kind of defeated the point of having the shower. cars couldnt get out either and there are no local shops. Showers and toilets were kept clean but not enough for the size of site and the showers soon ran out of hot water. i would suggest looking for a site at the other end of the circuit on the higher ground. The road trip was easy, we left manchester about 4am and got the train about 11am IIRC then a clear run through northern france, Roads in Belgium are terrible btw **edit** just saw your GA. get there early in the circuit for 7am and pick your spot during Friday practice bus stop last corner is good but there are loads of grass banks all round put the leg work in on Friday. drop me a PM if want any more detail. make sure you get a covered grandstand too, when it rains it really rains it nearly ruined our trip .
  2. whats with the "celebs" in the reasonably priced cars. they used to get people who had an interest in cars and the talk would centre around thier collections or car history, now its all about thier latest album,movie or TV show.
  3. Without the budgets they used to get they have run out of ideas.

    GT academy 2010

    Looks like another series of the GT academy is on the way and they are sticking with the Z http://www.5x5m.com/facebook/10441/199033/11655/gt_academy.html
  7. if the universe is infinitely big, then the answer is simply that it isn't expanding into anything; instead, what is happening is that every region of the universe, every distance between every pair of galaxies, is being "stretched", but the overall size of the universe was infinitely big to begin with and continues to remain infinitely big as time goes on, so the universe's size doesn't change, and therefore it doesn't expand into anything. If, on the other hand, the universe has a finite size, then it may be legitimate to claim that there is something "outside of the universe" that the universe is expanding into. However, because we are, by definition, stuck within the space that makes up our universe and have no way to observe anything outside of it, this ceases to be a question that can be answered scientifically. So the answer in that case is that we really don't know what, if anything, the universe is expanding into make sense !!!!
  8. sorry of this is a repost He is one lucky guy regardless of the authenticty of the speedo http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1151662353/Nissan_Z350_Crash
  9. had to have a chuckle at this, he seems to take it quite well though http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1278463532/Moron_Takes_Bently_Camping
  10. the guy he hit was just as lucky, the onboard shot shows he passes right under what is left of the monocock almost another Massa moment.
  11. got mined ordered, just need to sort out the camping at whittlebury golf club. Anyone else staying there we could have a Zed corner......
  12. Hi Folks, Not sure if anyone else has ever attend this free event but every time i have been its awalys been a great weekend. Camping is cheap at the golf course that backs on to the circuit. This year is on 18th and 19th September at Silverstone I have attached URL for the site to order tickets. Let me know if your already or thinking of going, would be good to meet up with some zeders enjoy the sun http://www.worldseriesbyrenault.fr/en/e ... fault.aspx
  13. cant decide if hamilton is that much better than Button, or the race just didnt pan out right for Jens. I hope its the first, and lewis drove the wheels off the car while jens was left to find excuses. I agree Schumi will be there all season picking up Solid points and getting quicker each race. will be good to see them race on a proper track, not a fan of these new far east circuits, its all about the money not the F1 racing spectical for the fans.
  14. As much as i cant stand him or the team, Alonso has to be in with a good shout
  15. Had my Wheels refurbed by a mate of mine who ownes a garage. if anyone want his details or more pics of the work he did for me drop me a PM
  16. I did Silverstone 2008 when Lewis won, was a great weekend, if you want any info on camp sites let me know.
  17. Well I booked my tickets for the Belgium F1 GP today, road trip and a full race weekend ticket, can't wait. Anyone else going to Belgium or any other F1 this year for that matter
  18. Since getting the Z just before xmas I havent really been able to get out in the car and see how it feels and sounds due the weather ( and the misses being in the passanger seat) anyway took monday off work picked my little bro up and went for blast. headed over towards Manchester airport and to the infamous tunnel where Ronaldo totalled his Ferrari. Windows down and 3 things struck me. 1 wow this car sounds good around 5,500 rpm 2 how the hell did Rondaldo crash here? 3 I can see how Ronaldo crashed here, the tunnel just wants you to go faster.
  19. I've just taken mine out with Admiral full NCB £900 not much more than my BMW318 !!!
  20. Got myself a JDM just before xmas, not the best time to get myself used to the car. owned RWD cars prevously but the Z in snow and Ice was interesting. I have been looking round the site for a few weeks finally had time to introduce myself. I see there is a meet planned at Krispy Kreams in Manchester in Feb hope to be able to make an appearance in person. Site is great, I have picked up some great bits of info and advice already Cheers.
