Sorry i didnt reply to your post Carlos, i was away with my family on holiday, got back a day ago. Im staying at the hotel i stay in when i go with my bike - its a biker hotel - but really comfy and very friendly - and they know me really well etc. We can all have a good chat about where and when to meet etc when we are at Snett on friday. I really cant wait for both Snett and the Ring - but the only thing thats making me nervous is how my wifes going to be in the car with me on the run down to the Ring??? She hates me driving too fast and it always causes a bloody argument!! I just hope i dont get left behind and end up driving down on my own. Maybe we could have an agreement that if the main convoy blasts off and starts doing crazy overtakes etc then after say a few miles they ease up and wait for the slower cars to catch back up again - is that a possibility?? Its not a big issue but it will spoil it for me as the best bit for me is the drive down and back in convoy!! Its going to be like the bloody Gumball rally!!!

Just thought i'd put a post and wish you all the best and have a great time lads, but I wont be able to make it.
As some of you know, Angela is due to have our little one on the 7th Sept and I have been winding down the past month or so... But from October onwards, we will back to normal with the meeting and greeting, so look forward to catching up with you all again from then on. ant. |

Good luck with the impending birth Ant - im a new daddy and im still not used to the lack of sleep yet - but wish you both all the best with the birth. Ps; give the gas and air a go - its a blast and helps ease the pain of your wife clamping her jaws around your arm as she pushes!!!!

You need to check on your insurance documents whether it specifically excludes the Nurburgring as a road where the policy doesn't cover... If it doesn't specify, then I wouldn't tell them. After all, the Nurburgring is not a track, it is a restricted public toll road...
Incidentally, have you done your alignment yet? Going on the 'Ring with your wheels out of line is going to chew through your tyres in an instant...

And by the way, what do you mean your tyres swapped round? Aren't the Conti's unidirectional?

Tony - quick question - i still havent had my alignment done - im just not sure i want to cough up the sort of money you mentioned as much as i want the job done properly - but if i did get an alignment check done and then change my tyres to NON run flats at a later date, will this effect in anyway the alignment ie will it need to be done again or will it just require balance and tracking?

Changing to non-runflats is just a case of changing tyres and balancing up the wheels.

Why don't you just tell them you're going to Europe, taking in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. You don't need to tell them your travel schedule mate, nor what you're going to be eating etc.....
