Prawny Baby Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Right chaps, It's time to act on this. Ferries are now booked for myself, George, and Mr Angel, plus passengers. As well as a mate of mine from work in a leon cupra, and a mate we met at the ring in september in an LCR. To all those interested, I've started a facebook group to confirm and discuss details, here: www.facebook.com/Easter 2010 Ring Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm still not sure about myself, all depends on the money situation and if I'll have somebody to go with me. Car will definitely be ready by then so that's a green light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm taking my mini. Trailers booked. And ferry tickets will be booked on pay day.. which is tomorrow woop woop. Broomer, how fast can you cruise with a trailler in tow? I won't lie, I don't fancy doing 60 the whole way through france/belgium/germini! I'm off to Custardland™ (essex) at the weekend to rip bits off custards car until mine works again. when I figure out which bit fixes it, I'll buy said part new from audi, and be happy again then I just need to fit my coilies before we go, and sell my weitecs for beer money at the ring!

Prawny Baby Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 don't worry Liam, the 20vt crew are going to have to stop for fuel every hundred miles or so, so your soot chucker will be passing us at the pumps! getting proper excited about this now!, got LOADS of people comming, so should be wicked: Broomer -Mini his passneger (???) George -A3 turbo Tic RoboSte -Leon Cupra Alex (robs pax) Prawn - A3 turbo Sanger Frenchman Dan Angel -A3 turbo Steve (dans pax) Chris (dans pax) Dan Ceallar (met him at the ring in sept) LCR dans pax 1 dans pax 2 dans pax 3 james Hayes -S3 Custard Alex Ogden (who remembers al from the old days?)

haydon_peter Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Nick, if I get the train up to Basingstoke on the Thursday night can I crash at yours then get a lift with you to meet George and transfer into his car? Are you planning to take your massive tent along to create a base camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm sure that'll be fine Ticcy, always room for a small one! Not taking the mega tent this year, it's only ever pissed me off before, because as much as everyone does try and help, it's always left 90% to me and frenchie to do all the work and 4 other bastards get to sleep in it. Smaller tent = less hassle for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Andy and Adam, if you're interested in coming, I'd get booking for the ferry pretty soonish, the price seems to be getting more and more expensive as the days go by! Would be good to have a few more people in convoy though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 YEAH BABY I'M IN! We'll be looking at booking the ferry later today. What times is everyones ferrys? Because the cost has gone up we're thinking of going thursday night and staying part way in. We'll join the convoy as you pass us. Hopefully then we won't be as dead from his silly low ratio, rock hard coilovers, fixed buckets and a stupid loud boxer engine thumping our heads...

That's cool that you're coming too! I think I might be in the same situation as you, buckets, rock hard suspension, and no sound deadening. Joy.

Prawny Baby Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Chaps, If I did it in the mini, then NONE of you have anything to complain about, Compared to the mini spunkey, your coilies in the audi will feel like limo comfort, and I'm fairly certain neither the A3 or the RA are anywhere near as loud as the Mini is inside, and we coped, so you'll be just fine! Andy, surely by the time you've found a place to stay in france thursday night it'll be just as cheap and easy to come with us to dunkirk? I've still got to try and fix a potential boost leak (boost seems a bit random currently), change the oil and filter, refit my airbox with a new cold air feed, and get my coilies on, ride height set when they've settled, and have the tracking done, as well as potentially 4 new tyres the way things are looking I've got about 2.5-3mm left all round now, so i really don't think I'll manage the trip there and back, plus 8 laps on what's left. it's also worth noting, that whilst the UK legal limit for tyre tread is 1.6mm, the german officials at the ring have the right to turn away any vehicle with less than 2mm of tread remaining.

Broomer Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I feel sorry for you guys, I've got arm rests, cd player, a tonne of sound deadening, comfy seats, air con the lot... Only issue is not enough cup holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue is not enough cup holders. I also have all the above, and even have 230bhp to push it all along with, but still NO BLOODY CUP HOLDERS!!!!! What is the world comming to? FItted the rear coilies today, slammed as low as they'll go Fronts going on next weekend, along with an oil change, and refitting the air box with green filter and an 80mm feed.

george_seamons Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Cup holders in the glovebox. Although I don't know what kind of cups the German designers used, but literally nothing will fit in them! Out of interest Nick, how come you're going back to the standard air box?

Prawny Baby Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 because it's been proven that with a few mods it'll flow 10x better than any nasty chavy induction kit bollocks. Mine's been smoothed out inside totally on both sides, as well as a green cotton panel filter, and the inlet hole being opened out to accept an 80mm feed in from inside the front bumper. I'll take VAGCOM logs before and after as a comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Lads, the snow has cleared!!!!!!!!!! My linkhttp://www.nuerburgring.de/fileadmin/webcam/webcam.jpg Going to be such a wicked trip! I've got SO much to do though before we go this saturday, I'm planning on fitting my front coilovers, doing an oil/filter change, refitting my airbox and panel filter with 80mm feed, removing and remounting my front bumper/lower valance, and installing my new gizzmo electronic boost controller. busy busy busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nobody's got any bonnet pins that arn't flush fitting, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Broomer perhaps.......... on his Mini Are they cracking down on that this year then Chris? I was told last year before I went that they wern't allowing cars with extruding pins on, and that some were allowed on if they were covered with tape, but nobody was stopped when I was there in the mini, with LOADS of the mini's having bonnet pins....
