We're off
 

Well, here we go again. 4.50am as I type.

Been up since 4.15am after getting at 11.30 (will I ever bloody learn :roll: )

Showered, coffee'd, ablutions done but still feeling it.

See you all in a few days, hopefully with good stories and no traumas this year. Shame you ain't coming Scott, but trust me, I won't stop letting Big E know this all weekend :lol:

Until Monday night / Tuesday morning. Take care peeps.

Worzel

:wave:

:wave:Be safe guys and have a great time, wish we were coming but we would not keep up when tha autobhans came into play, but hope to come next year de limited and more horses. See you all soon from Baz and Shaz:doubleup:

Autobahns are fun, and had a play on them the other day. Few 140mph runs with a bit of cruising at 120-130 but no max speed runs - heard too many stories of engines going due to the tmic not getting cold air!

Want to make it home with the car still working! I assume a front mount would mean no problems doing max speed runs?

All the best everyone who has gone.



Everyone who hasn't...... Its our forum now :twisted:

We've not left yet!

Have a great time guys and take care! Jealous isn't the word

Have a brilliant time :)

have a great time everyone and hope everything goes nice and smoothly.

Have fun guys
:doubleup:

Ahhh peace and quite for afew days :five:

Have a great weekend guys/girls, fingers crossed for no traumas this year!!!

Have a good one lads, I don't want to see any photo's containing Flatbed trucks this year.....unless of course theres and EVO on it......only kidding......

Very jealous of you guys... Wish i could have came along. Maybe in another 12 months time. Look forward to all the photos! :)

well i'm here at the hotel already, but nobody else is yet.

come on folks, where are you? :D

I heard something about a change of hotel!!!!!!!!!!! O/J

Yeh so did I, something about Worzels Palace being a Berman Gay hangout....

Alls good,no casualties with us lot,everyone appart from worzel been on, he is going on tomorrow.
The Evo is stupid quick,nige tooke on the odd gt3rs on the autobaan unlimited bits on the run down.
The ring got shut today at about 4pm and not opened again,rumoured death,was for sure a very bad one.
All heading out now for meal and a shandy or two.

Just heard of the 1st casualty of the trip.....Nick (BlueBugEye) has blown his engine :doubledown:

unfortunatley theres allways going to be casualties(very very expensive ones)

i have an 2.5 forged short engine if he wants one .

I'm back....four countries in 6 hours (incl ferry) and knackered but got a head full of quality memories....now got to plough through one or two photos!

Shame about Nick and his engine...i left before that happened and set Ray's alarm off as I started my car at 7am:angst:
Apparently there was some ding in the car park this morning but don't much about this yet.....

Brilliant trip though!!!:10:

glad your back safe and sound Tim. Looking forward to the photo's.

As Scott says, good that your back in one piece buddy and look forward to some pics:ok:

We got back alright thanks to Steve(PPP) and Claire- just waiting for the return of the car!!

Engine let go up a hill at about 110, just went down on power, check engine light then slowly tightened up until coming to a complete but noisy stop at a parking point. I could restart it but sounded like a tumbler drier full of ball bearings and the oils had a nice metallic finish to it!

As for the car park, it appears the brakes on Alfa's (Jimmy) are not as good and Scoobs (Steve, aka (un)Lucky)!! Also I heard from Worzel that Duncan blew his engine 15mins from home in the UK!

Yes unfortunately duncans let go 15 miles from home.

you boys eh?

bloody hell, so close to home as well! :(

was an awesome trip, can't believe how much luggage (and beer) we managed to squash inside the scoob on the way back - Nick and Sian were in the back with bags, barely room to breathe :lol:

the accident on the Saturday afternoon apparently had no fatalities luckily, but smashed up nine cars after someone dropped brake fluid everywhere and the following cars all fell off the road :(

It's a real shame about the 2 casualties. :sadnod:

I was only speaking to Duncan in the Shell station in Dover, saying how good it was that we both got back safe and sound after last year. What a shame.
That last thrash to Hastings obviously killed it :roll:

Steve PPP, what a top man. Going back to pick up Nick and Sian :doubleup: "Some" of us others were willing too, I hasten to add but Steve was happy to do the honours. Top wing man mate.

What I will remember this weekend is some of the camaraderie shown by some members when others were having problems, no matter what the problem, there was always someone willing to help or to wait with the people with a slight glitch. Also, the laughs, there was so much laughter and banter all weekend. Anger gets the prize for attracting the most attention wherever we went, if it wasn't for the look of his scoob alone, it was the anti lag shows. Top job mate :10:

Car of the weekend though, without question was Niges Evo. That is a seriously sorted bit of kit :nod: He did have a bit of a moment on "Niges Hill" though :cuckoo: :wink: My only regret (apart from not having more than one lap, and that in the pissing rain on 888's) was not having the dash cam set up for the blast we had on Sunday morning round the twisties, where the Evo was fookin immense :mrgreen:

All in all, a great trip, 2 unfortunate casualties, but a great time with great people. Thanks one and all :doubleup: (or in Ratty's case, both of you :whistle: )

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Glad you got back safe mate. I did laugh when you set that alarm off at 7am.

Sounds like a great trip guys! I will make it along one year for sure :-)

You are always welcome matey :doubleup:

The more the merrier. :nod:

It was awesome paul. Need to get you back in a scoob for next year - no pressure!!.

No pressure! Lol. I have gotta get that woman out of the shop and start making some serious dough...literally! Lol

Yes mate you wasnt bad.:doubleup::rofl::rofl:

"Niges Hill" though :cuckoo: That was bad. Bloody hell it even scared Neil & that takes some doing as he normally tells me I'm to slow! :drive: Anger's car was the most entertaining now Joe wants me to turn on the Anti thingy & get a Blitz super whatever. Thanks James, i think you have the track bug now instead of all that drag stuff Ha! Ha! It was good to see my old Scoob Still going strong & both James & Greig Really enjoying there trip. Good to see you again guy's :drive:

Mate, we've all done it or something very similar :nod:

And before anyone asks, it's a case of the old "what happens on tour, stays on tour" scenario :mrgreen:

You must of enjoyed yourselves as you were Laughing & smiling all the time. Glad You got back ok guy's. Next year maybe????????? :drive:

LOL - bit of a typing error there!!!

:agreed:

You two always seemed to be having a complete hoot :lol:

Mate, we bow in your presence :yeah:

I think the beauty of these trips is that you get to know the club better and its members. Both Sim and I genuinely feel we've made some friends on this trip and if any new members feel that they can't quite get into the personalities within the forums then push yourselves and come along to these type events as they are a hoot!

(and I am really missing those great german roads:cry:)

Know what you mean mate, been out for a drive today and it was back to the usual pothole-dodging within minutes :fool:

It was great to meet and get to know some more members and have to say what a great bunch you all are. It was very diferent for me this year due to my recent accident, I was well looked after, big thanks to C.J for taking me and what perfect ladies Laura and Julia for putting up with me and having to cut all my food up, thanks so much both. And Worzel best buddie cheers for all the laughs. Roll on next year when I can drive again.
