Mate as long as you're sensible you wont need jerry cans... There is always a petrol station near by! You will be going down a large amount of motorways etc.
Just be sensible and don't keep driving past petrol stations with less than 1/4 of a tank, then you see the next one is 80Km away LOL!
Any news yet fella?
I'm pleased i don't have Cruise control. No fun then lol !
Lol @ Geddes giving us a running commentary of his week :clap:.
I drive my dad's M5 all the time, and I've never once used the CC ! Never felt the need.

What exact date are you guys thinking of arriving at the nurburgring? I live in Holland, only 45 mins driving from there, maybe we could meet up over there?
First weekend in October I think. Maybe Sunday to Tuesday?!
Just take it easy, you been on track before?
Check all fluids, tyre pressures, brakes etc. Just common sense!
Don't go chasing numbers.. But you have to do a sub 10min lap

What time should I aim for in my 1.6?
LOL not a clue mate.. Guessing you've never been to the 'Ring before?
It would take a year just to learn the circuit!

;-)I think my brakes are the best out of everyones
Braided lines, racing brake fluid, ds2500 pads, brembo discs!
What have you got? Silly brembos
Clio RS 172 /Trafic
I've got brembo HC front discs, DS 2500 pads all round and Toyo R1-R Tyres. The car handles superbly and the brakes are mustard. Just done 380 miles through lake district over the pennines to Northumberland and back to chester over north pennines and Hartside Pass both ways. Stunning roads and fairly quiet so able to stretch the legs on the car a fair bit.

Hope you all have a wicked time, there's always next year for me!

Ah shite, could do half the trip?
Oh well good luck, we shall do another trip next year!
Could just do a ring trip? Meet us there?
Ive just spoken to the agency, and there is a possibility of doing an interview Tuesday am. I'm thinking mayyyyybe of coming over on the Wednesday on a 8am ferry if I can get the interview earlier. Dont't want to push my luck with it though!
Where are you guys going to be on the Wednesday? Means I miss two days, which isn't so much of a ball breaker as missing the majority of the trip.

Possibly lake geneve! I'll double check when im home from work.
Hahaha mission!
Let me know where you are on the Wednesday and the Tuesday night. I could smash a late afternoon early evening ferry on the Tuesday and tank it to wherever. Still need to find out if I can have the interview on Tuesday ha. I'm trying.
Yer there's no chance of that I don't think. If they are somewhere closer Tuesday, then I'm game!
11 hours straight? Jeeeeez.
It's not bad really.... just have a break every few hours?! I drove all that way my self, set off at 5:45am from Derby, arrived at Lac De Challin in time for an evening meal

Tempting..................
Riiiiiiight I'm pulling off what I thought was going to be the impossible right now.
I have managed, well the job agency (somehow) to get me an interview on Monday. Happy days. I have my car booked in with Danny at 519 on Tuesday morning, was going to get it serviced when I got back, but cos I wasn't going I've got it booked in.
I'm going to plan on getting a 4pm ferry, arriving in Dunkirk (sp) at 5pm French time.
This is all dependant on where you're going to be on Tuesday night, let me know.
