You might have to call Euro tunnel to change the booking.

All okay, was my misunderstanding. 16:20 UK time is 17:20 French time...So all correct .

Cheers!

Have you got your navigational aids to get Nige there?

I’ve not changed that way. I still get lost in a straight line!

Anyone interested in getting a passenger lap with Bridge to Gantry? I wouldn’t mind a lap.

[David]

I’ve got a mate who might be, ive never looked into it, what do they take you round in?

[BIG"E"]

I have just looked at the Eurotunnel fares ,

And they are increasing slightly so the earlier you book the cheaper the fares.

[Steve_PPP]

An alternative to BTG taxi laps if you want... it won't be with Dale but I believe they use VLN driver(s)... better cars than the Jags too

https://www.apex-nuerburg.com/apex-taxi-laps/

[David]

Thanks guys that’s great! I’ll look into it

[BIG"E"]

The jags are a serious bit of kit...

Far from a standard..

Think I would take the Jag over the Bmw’s. That McLaren is a serious bit of kit mind. Trying to find Sabine & her Porker as that would be a no brainier

[Mike j]

I went round with Dale in the jag last year. BTG time was about 7mins 40 secs. What an experience! Would highly recommend it.

So what are people doing to there cars in preparation for the Ring?

[Rdlangy1]

Usual oil, coolant, brake fluid, check everything’s tight on suspension, and then clean clean and a bit more cleaning..

Also got to get wheel bearing swapped out - all the other mods are sitting in my office but won’t be done ready for the ring.

I've got the WR1 in for a service + have a look at this pesky oil leak next week.

[Hayden]

Been an expensive month for me... took my WRX up to Scoobyworld for a Cambelt change and a performance pack ( Down pipe replacement and EcuTek remap)ended up having to put a turbo on it, due to oil leaking down the exhaust...

Dropped the RS5 into a gearbox specialist yesterday. It’s got a gear selector position fault. So gearbox out, new filters,circuit board and clutch. Ouch.

SNAP I may have to start it up just to make sure it’s got some charge in the battery.

I have some very nice Cup 2 semislick road leagle track tyres if anyone is interested? 235/35/19 x 4. Stick like 888’s without the noise.

Yes, gonna take it to the ring. The plan was to sell it and pick up a nice blob, but it developed the gearbox fault, so will probably sell it when we get back.

[HYDROSCOBY]

I really don't want to give up on going, but I think I have to really because I need some new tyres as well now. After I changed my brakes I noticed that they are slightly worn on the inside and not in the best shape. I'm so gutted after saving and buying so much in time for the trip.

[HYDROSCOBY]

Me and my mate are going to change my box ECT and leave the cam belt for now. So I can still go. I will book euro tunnel ECT later

I will give the last room back to the hotel on 6/4/19 if no one else comes forward.

[BIG"E"]

It is the only company that will recover you from the ring..

[Ginola]

Also the cost,



Full EU/world cover all year round for you in any car, repatriation of car, they will even send a driver to drive your car and family/better half home in the event you have a medical issue and cannot travel. all for around £95 a year for you and your better half to be covered.


This sort of cover simply isn't available in the UK from any of the major players, which is kind of depressing!

[BIG"E"]

3 weeks to go !!

E have you got a decent price on euro’s?

[BIG"E"]

Originally Posted by Nige

Not yet I asked at Tesco's and it was crap..

I'll see what Christine can get at the bank..

[scotty]

Debenhams has the best exchange rate at the moment 1.14 euro to the pound .

[BIG"E"]

2 weeks and we are on our way !!

[BIG"E"]

Have you all filled in the API?

I've had several reminders from Eurotunnel to do mine but I've done it twice now.
Nige has had the same problem too,
Had to call them direct in the end to get confirmation..

I get the reminders every year even though i fill in the API when i do the booking

[BIG"E"]

I called them direct this year and they said I had not registered,

But I had.

Might be worth checking by phone??

when i have looked on euro tunnel it says my API has been done, but no email conformation. i will give them a call just incase i guess.

Same - says online I’ve done it and haven’t had an email chasing me to do it again..

[Leight]

My one says it's done and I haven't had any reminder emails either.

[Granby]

Just checking and it seems John Lewis has the best exchange rate for Euros at the moment

[BIG"E"]

Just a little appetiser

1 week and we will be there !!

[Ferd]

Heads up, as Thursday is a public holiday over here it means the Friday will be busy on the roads and pretty much anywhere touristy - folks like to take Friday off as a bridge day to get an extended weekend

See you there.....

[Ferd]

Just got in the door myself, was a great gathering and nice to see everyone again and to meet some new people. And of course a big thanks again to Big"E" for perfect organisation.

Roll on the 2020 trip.

Any photos and video that I managed to capture will follow later.

Did you manage to get some laps in ?
Has all gears gone?

[Seanedg]

Myself and Cheryl would like to thank everyone for another wonderful trip to Germany.
I know Cheryl and Lisa are very happy they have driven on the nurburgring, and they did the lap in 12 minutes, I was bricking it the night before 😕 as I know Cheryl has a heavy right foot.....

So many wonderful memories.

Loved everyones company, new and old faces.

Hope everyone got home OK.... DSC_0040.jpgDSC_0087.jpgDSC_0083.jpgDSC_0079.jpgDSC_0043.jpgDSC_0080.jpgDSC_0011.jpgDSC_0045.jpg
