Making some fab cars

Thanks mate

Have to say. I'm not a bmw car fan. However the new models do look pretty nice. Ran in to one in that lovely blue colour (convertible) when I was out on my bike on Friday. Had a little play. Not sure if it was a 3 or 4. Didn't get much of a chance to look as I dropped mine a gear. Got a wave...

Pilot exalto 3's get my vote.

I'm game mate, will grab your details before we go!

You're not wrong mate.

All sorted. After a number of emails and phone calls the bikes are allowed on the campsite. Finally got them to swap two car tickets for two bikes and will be parking the cars in a car park instead.

I'm trying to find out whether this b&b has proper secure parking or just a gated drive way. My sister who is helping organising is a penis and doesn't realise how easy bikes are to nick! She just thinks we should leave them on a path in the centre of lemans lol

The people we are dealing with won't back down despite explaining to them. But we have spoken with a great local b&b owner who has offered to keep our bikes in his secure barn for free ☺

Long way to go if there's an issue though. They've emailed my brother in law stating they don't allow motorcycle but perhaps you're on to something mate. I'll get on to them as and when I can.

Epinettes I believe it's called? Beyond pissed off with them mate. But there's no reasoning with the french it would seem. Haven't given up but it's looking bleak.

The likely hood of us going to lemans now or at least me and my fellow biker of the group is looking slim. The organisers of our campsite emailed yesterday stating we are not allowed our bikes on the campsite despite having purchased tickets etc. Really pissed off however if it comes to it we...

Really not a fan of how that Ferrari looks

I too am also fed up with hatch backs. And cars all together to be honest. Looking at a new xc60 at the moment. Feel old haha

Sounds like bull Legally they can't touch the mileometre even if they wanted to as I understand it. Unless they've ballsed something up a treat I can't see how they've managed that.

From what I've seen there's a few people who can get the akra. . For me I don't see the value in the system, yes it's an akra so it'll be made well and sound great but for the money not for me

Amd boys aren't a bad bunch over in Essex

Wonder if my old pw 200 will end up back on here.

What a shaft As above doesn't look like 70 mph shunt in a saxo. They usually fold up like a crisp packet in a microwave.

Why would you even bother trying to play with a fireblade lol.

Pads will make a larger difference in braking performance than the discs Worth doing both at the same time and perhaps doing the fluid and hoses also.

Finally got a response from the fromage eaters. Tickets and camping all sorted. Campsite is a new one apparently called les epinettes. ?

No mate Just a pal who still instructs up at BH Yeah was going in to paddock in a cloud of smoke Ooops

Saw you going round mate. Popped up to see one of my pals in race control. Who's was the silver clio that blew up at paddock?

Hard to describe in words but I see a gtr as the same as watching f1 on TV. Yeah you see it all but you don't get the whole "experience". If you know what I mean.

At least you can say you've done it aye. I've never got the whole gtr thing. For much the same reasons as others have mentioned. Part of the reason I love my bikes is because they're involving and it's actually me riding it etc. Either way they're an engineering master piece for sure.

Absolute b*****d to work on. Couldn't swing a tampon in the engine bay.

Yeah I think so, Aren't the boxes different too from memory - or ratios...

For the most part. Some engine changes but nothing you'll notice.

If you really want a 197/200 then both are fairly even. For me personally though, as a track car only I'd get a 172/182 (most likely 172 Cup). More money to spend on track trinkets.
