Nurburgring 2013 - CS EoE Annual Trip - 30th May - 3rd June 2013

[Scott H.]

Just ordered Breathalysers and a GB sticker.
Everyone bothering with the headlight projectors? They make such a mess when you remove them!
​
Also still can't find breakdown for less than £50. Axa wanted £25 but aswell as I clicked the modded button they didn't want to quote me after that!

 

[Breamy]

I've been 6 Times and never bothered doing headlights. Really hard to do on xenons anyways

 

[DannyR]

I have breakdown so should be able to wangle it if anyone does plus Dan has a towing bar.

I'm not worrying about headlight deflectors as they make a mess, will rarely have lights on!

 

[dmallett]

im definatly saving for next year. Not sure id go in my car though lol how much does it cost for a passanger i anyone wanted me

COME COME COME!

Danny i dont have a towing bar!!! ive told you this so many times but i wont bother with breakdown cover in that case ha

 

[Paul182]

next year mate i will

 

[Breamy]

Padded my cage around the head area, Just need a few more zip ties

 

[DannyR]

Danny i dont have a towing bar!!! ive told you this so many times but i wont bother with breakdown cover in that case ha

Lol I swear you said you don't mind towing anyone that's broken down?!

 

[dmallett]

Of course i would tow anyone to get them home! How I would manage it I didnt say

 

[DannyR]

Lol, tie our sleeping bags together? I may have actually have a bar at Dad's

 

[dmallett]

Have a look as it would be handy! i cant find anyone that has one

 

[Breamy]

Pain in the arse when a car gets over 10 years old for breakdown cover. Over double the price. Mine will be 10 next year
3 weeks today I'll be lapping the ring. Can't wait!

 

[Scott H.]

I noticed that! Click 10 years its like £25-30, click 11 years and it doubles!

Just bought new spark plugs from G 172 and will take the old ones as spare. Last night got a new offside caliper, GB sticker and Breathalysers. Pointless as not in France very long and think that's the only place they are compulsory?
The breathalysers that is?

Will get Hi-Vi from work, need to order a new V5 which is £25! Will have a real search tonight if no
no hope order a new one.

Will need to fit this new caliper and bleed the brakes. Reason for change is before the bleed nipple sheered, drilled and re tapped the whole but don't trust it 100% anand not if I want to bleed them!

 

[banther]

I happen to be going on roughly the same dates!! ALso, my mate with a scooby.

 

[Breamy]

What dates you going? Hotel or camping?

 

[Breamy]

Just let my insurance company know I'm going abroad. Worth checking your policy as some state your only 3rd party unless you let them know

Greenlight? Just done the same thing

 

[banther]

Hotel and leaving evening of 29th coming back 4th (although leaving Nurburg 2nd for other exploits)

 

[Breamy]

I'll be there on the 29th as well couldn't miss full day tf on the thurs!

 

[banther]

I'll be there on the 29th as well couldn't miss full day tf on the thurs!

I'll be sure to say hello if I see you!!

​I'll be the guy cacking himself in a 172 Cup with Banther in the rear windows

 

[Breamy]

You been before?

 

[banther]

Nope.

Me and a mate decided we were going to the ring and he set me the challenge of beating him for £2500 (spend on car). At the moment I'm £2000 into it after cams, aux etc still in need of shocks, exhaust and springs. Going to be tight!

I dont think I'm going to "race" though. Will save that for llandlow. Just want to experience what I've been dreaming about for years in a car that handles well!! Also, dont want to take out the infamous barriers!!

 

[Breamy]

No, not worth going full on like you would on a trackday. Could get expensive.
If you want to come out in mine as a passenger your more than welcome, just to give you an idea of the track.
I'm reasonably quick round it and have done around 80 laps so know where I'm going lol

That would be immense!! WOuld be really up for that

​I'll PM you closer the time and we can arrange. 80 laps = £££!!!

 

[Breamy]

That is over 6 trips in 5 years in 3 dif cars lol.
The Clio is the most fun round there though.
Planning 25 laps this trip so plenty of tracktime for people to jump in

 

[DannyR]

Isn't Friday and Sunday Full days or is Friday half and Sunday full?

I know Saturday is a race day.

 

[banther]

Great... well I'll certainly help put some weight over the offside

 

[Breamy]

Thurs Fri and Sunday are full days. Evening Sat after the racing. But if it's anything like the after the Vln I wouldn't bother going out sat eve.
I did it last Sept. Track opened. Went out, was mentally busy with people that didn't know what they were doing and then it closed and never opened again. 15 mins it was open for LOL

 

[andywa]

Im so gutted that i cant make it this year chaps. Next year with any luck ill be there. Cant wait to see the pics.

Hi guys

New to this clio ownership.

I bought my 182 a couple of months ago for a trip to the ring!

Looks like I will be out there the same time as you guys. I'm driving over on the 30th stopping at the motorsport hotel through to Sunday.

A first trip and counting down the days.

There are four cars in my group going over on the tunnel.

We are all currently getting our cars sorted and ready. I'm just deciding what to do about tyres. Iv got conti premiums on the back which should be fine, its the nankangs on the front that are my concern.

I have been watching the thread develop and been meaning to say hi and will keep you up to date with my preparations.

Cheers

[Breamy]

Bulb Kit! Compulsory in france.
​We are up at 2am, Early start!

 

[DannyR]

Knew I'd forget something!

We did that last year, I went to work, packed then left, to then sleep the next night in the tent. That was a long day, hence the hotel this time as it'll mean less fluids to drink to keep us up resulting in less piss stops!

Dan did we say your bringing yours or Bens satnav? I don't mind having it in my car and leading if so?

 

[DannyR]

Also

Fire Extinguisher and First aid Kit.

 

[Scott H.]
