Put me down for two white as well please

​cheers!

 

[DannyR]

Yes we will have.



We can start a list now if you wish

Stickers

These are the style we will have, exactly the same as last year but with 2013 instead of 2012! I think you can have virtually any solid colour.

1. DannyR - 2x White
2. Dmallett - 2x White

 

[DannyR]

I hope our sticker is still there from last year

 

[Breamy]

Can see how amazing the weather was in that pic, hope we are as lucky this year!

 

[DannyR]

The weather was epic, every picture I took looks like it was tropical conditions!

 

[Breamy]

Last year was def the best year for weather. and also my best trip!
Let's hope this year is as nice. Or at least dry!
Are you posting stickers out Danny? If so I'll have some!

 

[DannyR]

It was also my best trip

As long as it doesn't rain I'm happy really!

I can send them out or meet you over there. Usually we just hand out as was only a few of us within the group last year.

Will happily send out to you though.

 

[dmallett]

Lol at us trying to stick them on at 12,30am in tesco car park last year!

 

[DannyR]

This time it'll be at about 5PM so we will have a bit more light lol!

Lol I was putting mine on at 3am in Thurrock services! gutted I can't make it this year.....I'm definitely going again though!

 

[Breamy]

Anyone else make any progress on their car at the weekend?

 

[dmallett]

None ha.

gained an eml light though with nothing showing up on the built in code thing so I'm guessing its just being a tw*t.


Still got my braided front lines to go, fit the boot lock thats still at the post office and poss fit the bucket seat that ive had since January

 

[DannyR]

MOT tomorrow and picking some new wheels up Sunday but that's about it.

I'll see how the MOT goes.

 

[dmallett]

what wheels you getting Danny?

 

[DannyR]

Nothing exciting, just standard wheels that have been refurbished recently and have a decent condition lip, not rough as f**k like mine!

I know its only vanity but the wheels really let my car down.

Then just the boot and bumper painted and a good machine polish and I'm sorted all after the ring of course!

​My wiring loom has been started....from scratch

 

[dmallett]

Sound good Danny.


Oh i also got a working head unit Thursday, yet to sort that either.

Seriously lacking motivation lately,

 

[DannyR]

I'm lacking funds, luckily it doesn't need little bits here and there like last year.

My plan is to sell my wheels for £100-120 then it would of cost me £100 to get mine done to a decent standard so shouldn't really lose out too much!

At least you'll have some music on the trip.

I think Tom has dropped out as he can't afford to go as he needs his Cambelt and dephaser doing and he doesn't want to risk it.

Rhys you're working on a tight deadline! Are you taking a passenger?

 

[dmallett]

Shame about Tom, thought he was considering selling up?

 

[DannyR]

He wants a bike again I think but it is a shame, his ticket is up for grabs for the boat if anyone hasn't booked yet too.

 

[Scott H.]

I need to drop the oil, change the plugs, change the pas pump, that I have no clue about!
Was going to change gearbox oil but not sure I can be bothered!
Need a new left caliper, well second hand but better than the one I have as don't trust the bleed nipple and bleed the brakes.

Few question tho what are people taking as spares? What documents do we need? And break down cover, what people doing about that?

 

[dmallett]

Documents- insurance, passport/e11 card, driving licence both parts, ferry booking confrimation.
Break down cover- I will tow anyone back to the UK who breaks down.

PAS pump is easy to change! as is gearbox oil.

 

[Scott H.]

Cheers Dam,When I got my cambelt changed at 519 there was a slight leak on the pas pump but the fluid hadn't changed from when I had the car, 2 years now. But the pulley rocks from side to side which had caused more wear on the belt on one side, obviously not sure the wear has come from 5 years from the last belt changed or the last 2 weeks of a knackered pump, that ill never know:/

 

[Rhys Beal]

Yep I will have a passenger Danny

 

[Breamy]

I searched European breakdown cover on Google. First result is a comparison site. Used them many times. 25 for the duration of the trip for me with allianz. Hopefully won't need it but worth it for that money.
Getting euros sorted at weekend as well. Just got to ring insurance company now.
Also with documents make sure you take logbook as well

[DannyR]

Was then going to say you'll need V5 too.

I'm just taking my whole folder with everything in.

My AA cover includes Europe for a certain time anyway and checked I'm covered the other day.

 

[Breamy]

That's quite good. Must be expensive aa cover! I have breakdown cover with my bank so would need to change account for euro cover

 

[dmallett]

I'll take a full set of spare discs/pads all round and a few sensors as that's all I have left these days!

​My wiring loom has been started....from scratch

LOL it'll be fine :clown:

 

[Breamy]

Trying to decide whether to take track wheels in the boot or drive there on them.
Got around 4mm all round. Need to do the trip there and back plus 25 laps. But the ring isn't particularly hard on tyres.
Opinions?

 

[Dan519]

Think German legal minimum is 3mm so be cautious with tyres.

 

[Breamy]

Think that's minimum for their mot not for driving as they say you need to have a year left in the tyres or something

Id go on road tyres, play it safe. Can you store the wheels where you stay?

 

[Breamy]

Ye they have garages I normally put stuff in. Plus plenty of driveway for changing wheels. Just means less beer room lol
Think it's probly a good plan to play it safe

 

[DannyR]

I would take a spare set if doing that many laps, turn the wheels upside down and put the beer inside

Passed MOT with flying colours, with small plate and no sidelights and no advisories on the paper!

Been told to change my brakes though as discs are becoming worn, pads are fine.

May get some before going on May payday but don't want to break anything fitting new ones so close. Probably wait till I get back.
