RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Jonny81191 - 17-01-2013
Wow. did not expect that, i thought it was impossible to get!
It's up to you mate, you'll have a better idea closer to the time. But TBF, all the cover will provide is a lift to the nearest garage. And we're in convoy with a tow rope handy. I'm not sure it's worth it...
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - martyn92 - 18-01-2013
If thats true then I probably wont bother with it.. I will check with them anyway and see what they say
Though as you say people will bring spares and the only major problem is rods for the DT's?
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Jonny81191 - 18-01-2013
I never mentioned spares...
and yeah, rods are a potential issue, but no more so than blowing a HG or shitting a turbo
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Just Sean - 18-01-2013
i am so jealous!!
Out of interest... How much is diesel gonna be en route?
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - martyn92 - 18-01-2013
Your right, you didnt
Infact there isnt really anything in terms of spares to take is there ?
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Just Sean - 18-01-2013
Turbo. Gaskets. Bottom pulleys. Belts.
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - samass - 18-01-2013
Just a suggestion, if you haven't thought of it already, walkie talkies or cb?
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Jonny81191 - 18-01-2013
Walkie talkies. cheaper..
you coming?
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - the milkman - 18-01-2013
okay after seeing what carl has been planning jonny im calling shot gun and bringing a came recorder for the entire trip!! well what im awake of anyway!!

True that. Nah man, wish I could, but can't afford it. Next time hopefully
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - martyn92 - 18-01-2013
Okay, phoned RAC and it is £78 for a weeks european cover (im a member already so might be more if your not?)
But they said they will try to get your car fixed at all costs before deciding to bring your car back on a lorry because it costs them thousands.
It depends on your return date back to the UK. So if its the last few days before you are due to return then they will bring you back IF the car wont be fixed in time. But if it breaks down and it can be fixed you will have to pay for the costs of repairing it. Not sure exactly in terms of total engine failure/rods and headgasket/turbo etc. (forgot to ask, will phone them up another time)
Though been reading reviews/stories about being abandoned abroad or having to pay a fortune in repairs.
hmmm.. I think i could actually see them making you pay for an engine before bringing you back

Awesome
I'm going to be in stitches every time you brim it 
Sean: Come with! At a rough guess, 3/4 of a tank, so about £60
Ash: Course we can, whilst we're there though, it would be rude not to go round the F1 route....
Martyn: I hoped it was diesel for your bank balance
Yeah, I'll be running a TD04, hdi rods etc but there really is no guarantee, as there with any car, how reliable it can be. I probably won't be taking many spares, just tyres and I probably won't look into breakdown cover. Most minor problems should be easily fixed, without the need for a garage. Yep, there are a few horror stories out there. Me personally, if say a rod was to entire the atmosphere or something catastrophic, I would abandon my car. As much as I like it, at the end of the day, it's only a car and would be soooo much cheaper to start from scratch when I get home. They're cheap enough
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - martyn92 - 18-01-2013
Ahh
I actually couldnt abandon my car, far too attached lol
I think I would be interested in breakdown cover if they will bring the car back if the rods fail.
Although, could just buy another one to take and then sell it when i get back ?
Re: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - rocker8742 - 18-01-2013
B*stard Carl lol ill be leaving you behind at the track
As for walkie talkies i work for a radio place and should be able to get some proper radios for us to use on the cheap
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Jonny81191 - 18-01-2013
TBH you could buy an engine in a french scrappy and stick it in if it came to it..
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Just Sean - 18-01-2013
I'm in Afghan when you go or I would!
Just wondering fuel prices in Europe!
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - the milkman - 18-01-2013

Haha, we will see, we will see. I am glad actually we've got a nice range of cars going. '6 vs DT vs HDI, should be interesting....
You mean, you might be able to make some stock disappear!

Ah well, maybe next time
Jonny's looked into prices a bit more than me, I'm not too sure.(18-01-2013, 07:11 PM)the milkman Wrote: carl if your just gonna leave it in a ditch if it goes im defo stripping it down before we leave it!! same for anyone else planning on ditching im robbing your shit bitches
It won't be going in a ditch, Jonny can tow me to a scrap yard and I can at least claim some of it back. There won't be much of value, in fact you've betrayed us all with your little 205 dream, you're not having any of my parts WHY THE f*ck AM I TALKING AS IF THIS GOING TO HAPPEN?!?!?!?
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - the milkman - 18-01-2013
dude you break down im taking turbo pump lowering springs rods (if hdi and not thrown) and your anal virginity!
oh and if i cant get insured on the 205 im gonna track slag it and get another DT 306
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - martyn92 - 18-01-2013
Tempted to buy another cheap car just for this trip and scrap it if it breaks, if it makes it back then sell it
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Jonny81191 - 18-01-2013
Guys chill out lol, the cars will be fine
RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - the milkman - 18-01-2013

Dude, just do your best building up your TD04 engine. I'd much rather be in something I could trust over something just bought!
All I will say is Ash, if Jonny lets you drive it, don't get cocky with it, coz if something did happen, he will castrate and then I will shove your balls up your ass, so will both lose anal virginity

RE: April 2013 - Nürburgring? - Jonny81191 - 18-01-2013
I can't get anyone else insured overseas I think. I'd have to check.
But what carl says is true..
