Terence Bower Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Ok, three days and only seen one grey UK car and TBH only what, four others... GP track was open last night too... Was there from Sunday onwards,working at Spa Monday but back at the Ring on different occasions till yesterday morning. P1 plated Black car.Nice being in the Z,not too many there,unlike an M3 Lol Quote
p40ulw Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 ^ i saw your car parked at rsr on monday! Very nice mate. Quote
Terence Bower Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Thank you,took a while to decide on a Z over an M3,but as i regularly stretch the legs of one,the Z won hands down. Excellent car. Did you just call in to RSR in the hope that it was open,possibly only one person there? Quote
Jixaman Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 I binned the bike, me ok, at least I can walk and they didnt have to amputate my left foot, the bike I think is dead though... Did you see the red Audi Quatro, what a machine, easily the fastest thing on the GP track Tuesday... Lots of Corvettes this year and how fast were the four 911's lapping together (3 GT3's and a GT2)... Anyway, hope you guys had fun, I did, even if it did go a bit Pete Tong but as they say, @*!# happens at the ring... Cant wait to go back... Quote

4RE Leather Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 just got back from a 10 day stint, didn't see any uk 350's did see a nice italian pre 06 in grey. Mind if I enquire as to approx how much you spent of fuel please? thanks Peter Quote
soimafreak Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 not too much, About £90 to get from Basingstoke to Adenau (1 tank ), and 2 tanks about €180 for 15 laps I'd think. The ride home was free and will take 2 weeks, but that's a longer story Quote
4RE Leather Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Great stuff, thanks for that. I think once some of the guys realise its not such a wallet eater we may plan a Mothercare trip there for next spring. Quote
Jixaman Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 The ride home was free and will take 2 weeks, but that's a longer story Did you get a pink ticket ??? Quote
soimafreak Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 no pink ticket, After a more sedate lap I went to get fuel and it seemed okay, and within 5 mins just started making a horrible sound. so just a every day break down. As for costs, yes it's not too bad, about £100 each way in fuel, £70 for a ferry if you book it at the right time and then what ever you need to eat (we spend about €25 a night for 2 of us with drinks) obviously you'll want european break down and travel insurance (and eh11), if you've driven abroad before you've probably got all the other bits but that's only another £60 or so. We camped this time and that was only €13 per night per person. Quote
Jixaman Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Nice one (in a way, you know what I mean)... We usually do long weekends, leaving at half 3 Thursday, a leasurely drive to the tunnel for the twenty past twelve train (its cheap then) then once on the other side drive to the services just north of Aachen (bout half three) and just sleep in the car till rush hour passes by, at the track for ten on the Friday, track Friday, Saturday, Sunday (if possible) and drive back to Calais Sunday afternoon, chill, Monday morning train and a gentle bimble up the road (the worst part of the whole trip)... Anyone down south of England, you dont know how lucky you have it, its just so much easier from there... It can be done for the cost of a long weekend back home, ok if you dont go lots and get a season pass the cost of laps mount up but even then no reason not to give it a go... Quote
4RE Leather Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Excellent stuff. I would need a hotel or B+B though. Quote
Jixaman Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 just looking through pictures from me trip and found a nice clean standard grey Z, oh, the red RS, MINTED, the grey GTR reg 004, sweet... Feck, you could spend a lifetime there just looking at whats on show... Quote

Fantastic Stuff. I am sure we can get quite a few to come to this if it's planned correctly! Quote
