The G Man

Barstewards As a former 8 owner, I can guess how he feels at the moment Hope it gets resolved soon.

No harm in signing, done I'll post on RX8 OC

Ok just another update. If anyone that's booked is thinking of going to the visit day on Friday the 8th, it starts at 1pm, before that though I will need your car details, model, colour, names of drivers, passangers and any children under 18. Please do this by PM thanks. Neil, your sorted mate

Not surprised you get attention, great looking car there mate

I love calling mine a Fat Datsun Usually when someone I overhear comments on the gorgeous 370 in the carpark, "Oh that's my Fat Datsun" Oh and my wife married me coz I've got big tits as well But I must say, you show us yours and I'll show ya mine The X5 driver is maybe a wee tad jealous because for him Ze War Is Now Over, he's capitulated, relegated to everyone thinking he's a w*nker, who doesn't think ALL X5 drivers are dicksplashes

Ok folks for peeps that haven't registered, this event as far as track time is concerned is now full Anyone can tip up on the day though, for a visit, just e mail the link in my sig with your details for a pass

The Vignette is around 30 euros, it runs from from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, doesn't matter when you buy it, they all expire on 31st Dec. Look on ebay, some folks chance not putting it on and sell when they return to the UK. At Lake Maggiore, halfs in Swtzerland, halfs in Italy, you will get pinged by the Swiss if you haven't got a Vignette. Stelvio is not far from Maggiore. Monaco is allright but it'll be heaving in July, I'd give it a miss. The Gorge du Verdun is worth doing, there's an article in this months TG mag, where part of the route with the new Masserati was there, been there myself, truly awesome Spare bulbs is another requirement, as well as a warning triangle, some countries you need two. Take care and have fun

Well you can't argue with those prices and it's in a beautiful part of the country, maybe the whiff of Buckie will attract them , although Viki and Pauli are going so it is a bit downmarket

Suppose I'll need to bring the Champers then Sounds great Martin, you're doing an excellent job

Ooh no , although in saying that, if it's all that's left But I get equally as messy on a large range of malts, particularly Ardbeg , red wine Prosseco and Chamfast, a cocktail of champagne and Buckfast

Me too

I might just have something arranged, a sort of mini wrap, not so much 50cents, more nickel and dime

That's the puppies plums mate It'll look great at Valley next month, very professional looking in a racing driver/car type way, now I must resist fettling a wrap of some kind Can't wait to see it in the flesh

Just a another bump on this, can all those that have registered and confirmed (sent payment), update their status please. And if anyone else that is traveling from Scotland or the North of England on the Friday, want to meet up for a convoy, please let me know. Neil and myself are travelling on the Friday 1. The G Man (Booked, arriving Friday, Travelodge Holyhead) 2. Wasso 3. Neilp (Booked, arriving Friday, Travelodge Holyhead) 4. remould 5. GT4 Zed 6. Was8v (Booked) 7. |chris| (Booked?)

Paid £1.42/ltr in Skye on Monday The road back home through Kintail and Glencoe was worth it though

Unless the car is getting some limiter kissing it still might not clear it out. My other car is like that. He says he isn't using water. Isn't black fuel problems and blue oil problems. Also I've never heard of injectors needing re calibrated how do you mean? Does that mean cleaned and checked. Black deffo oil, blue fuel It's not that common on modern injection systems but these days it'll be done by computer/plug in to re-set injectors/remap fuel injection. Like any metal, injector nozzles are subject to wear, and with some people putting fuel additives and other detergents in their fuel systems can cause a minor defect over time, more common on diesels but can happen on petrol vehicles, but essentially yes, cleaned and flow rate checked. As you've said I don't think this guy has any problem and it's likely to be cold/condensation being "burned" off.

No bulb in the ashtray in the 370 , no ashtray

Ah, re-read op, 10-20seconds? What he said^^. I had it in ma heid 10-20mins

You are a weird little man dude More than you can imagine

Injectors may need re-calibrated, black smoke=bad, grey/white=fueling problem.

Thanks for the info, so no mad rush then Any news on the next moon landing though?

What? Four and a half months in advance? Is this more popular than the Monaco Grand Prix There is a list running, when does the tickets have to be paid for? Who do we send the money to? By what date do you wish a "definate" confirmation? How much is it? Is there a club discount? Will man go to the moon again?

Cela est vrai, un peu de français va un long chemin à un séjour réussi en France. Telle est la vie

Absolutely stunning mate, the Gorge is a must do before you die road If you time it right, around 7 in the evening, it'll be empty, no camper vans, fookin euro boxes, mopeds or milk carts We stayed at a village called Le Salles sur Verdun for a week last year, it was great, locals were really friendly. We managed to hit the Gorge road on the way back up from Monte Carlo at 7ish, fookin wow!!! On the south side, it is stunning, all the apex's are visible for long stretches and you can have some serious fun, even my mrs was egging me on!! On reflection I would ideally like to hire a Gite in Moustier San Marie, prettier than a prettier thing at a pretty thing convention At Castellane, you can hit the Route Napoleon and blitz south to Monaco if you wanted, or take the time to go to a little village called Gourdon, best lunch I've ever had was there That whole region was made for sports cars, and although I did it in a Rex last year, the Zed would be comparable for enjoyment When you heading down?
