Euro Road Trip



  182
Don't worry we'll just ignore you for the trip ;)

If we have walkie talkies you won't be able to :evil:.

No but on a serious note, I'm not a cnut. I think meeting up before we head the ferry is a great idea, as I might spend most of it throwing up over the side not getting to know anybody.

Have we got a final route planned, as has anybody checked that the ring is a public day on the day we are going?

South Wales is quite a way from the ring ;)

Not sure, one of these guys who has the plan will be able to let you know I'm sure.

Make sure someone does a proper write up of this for the home page. :cool:

I'll be doing a writeup, don't know if anyone else will, I'm setting up a page where all my photos get uploaded automatically as we go so you can all follow us in realtime ;)

Get a battery pack, then it should last the entire trip!

You are all going to show me up, I only have a Nikon D40!

how many nights are we camping then?

I've just ordered a spare OE battery pack for my camera, i'll also be bringing my slingshot and my tripod and a few memory cards.

Stu do you remember that camera mount for the window, i got it but it's nee good as there's nee room for the camera to do with the angle of the windscreen. Is there another type to hold ours?

Adam, how much do I owe you for the sticker?

Booked the ferry yesterday. Got 4 brand new tyres, and new discs and pads all round are the way as well as a service. An expensive weekend!

Everyone can have a free Genyx Systems sticker to promote my company if you like haha

i'm quit concerned about my exhaust, there's a terrible noise on it when it's hot after 4 1/2k revs. really don't want to fork out for a new system

You shouldn't be driving to the shops past 4 1/2 k revs ;)
What kind of noise? A rattle?


I'll get a picture later of the stickers and 'said sticker', I'm going to give her a long awaited clean.

it's had 2 cracks on my Magnex both have been welded, sounds like a rattle. I think it's the bafflers in the back box but it's passed it's mot. if it is the bafflers would my exhaust be ok for the trip. if i turn up the music it will blanc it out abit. but it's very noticeable the sound like. it doesnt make it normal driving only when you give it beans

I've got an old 172 backbox in my garage, would need welding into place though. If you want it, you can have it. Think it's powerflow. It was grinded off my old car, but sure can be made to fit.
