April 2013 - Nürburgring?

[Niall]

Just a good idea for you guys which ive just had to do. Phone your banks and tell them your going abroad. Last time i went on holiday, my account was blocked when i tried using my card in one particular store. This time i phoned them and they took down the countries i travelled through and how long i was going for so my card would work.

[Jonny81191]

Cheers mate, good shout that

[rocker8742]

Right doesn't look like Andy is going to make it so there's a seat in the gti up for grabs if anyone wants to tag along

[the milkman]

I'm leaving this entire trip so last second its untrue!! Need to get my arse in gear!

[Jonny81191]

Yes you do. Cos we'll be there to pick you up on the Thursday night, ready or fecking not

When i went to see my bank and told them i was going to afghanistan, and said it might show up as me being in the uk, usa or afghan they looked well confused!

Deffiantly worth doing this one!

Hahaha to be fair I've got most my stuff together just trying to sort money out ow

[rocker8742]

10 days lads anyone got breakdown cover?

[martyn92]

Yeah I got mine with my Adrian flux

[c.gerrard]

Breakdown cover

Mine will be; if it's broke fix it.

If it can't be fixed, a tow rope

The track is really beginning to clear up now, so that's good. I was getting quite worried!

[martyn92]

Don't look at the ring webcam....

[ginge191]

Game.

Rallye will be charged by then

just read this back to the first page! where did it all go wrong?!

[the milkman]

Don't look at the ring webcam....

And why is this?

[rocker8742]

Amazed how much its cleared since martyn posted that

[the milkman]

do they let you on if theres still snow at the side of the track but the track its self is clear?

[Jonny81191]

Hahahaah valid point there jonny! Hard to think less than a week now!

[rocker8742]

Bloody gti is causing trouble as usual lol

[martyn92]

Just checked my sat nav and it doesnt have europe maps, thinking about buying the maps for it. Has anyone else got/not got europe maps?

[the milkman]

So what's the plan thursday night is everyone just meeting at ferry or people planning on meeting before that and going down together?

[Niall]

Just checked my sat nav and it doesnt have europe maps, thinking about buying the maps for it. Has anyone else got/not got europe maps?

Have a look at play.com for a new sat nav. With Tomtoms, its about 70 quid for new maps and i got my garmin with liftime updates half price at £80 from there so might be worth a upgrade!

I had the same idea and did that


Cant believe its so close now! I think ill be heading straight to dover. Keeps it simple lol.
I still need to sort out a spare wheel and get a rear pad retaining kit as mine have gone missing

Have the roads/routes been sorted?

[Jonny81191]

Well Carl and i will be going to Dover via picking up passengers, the route for the other side is simple enough, and we can look at maps etc in campsites over there.

Food is all ready, well all the basics anyhow.

Martyn, see you tomorrow morning, I have that wheel for you. Can you make it before midday if possible?

I'm just bringing a road atlas, CBA with gaynav in Europe, it's easy enough to navigate from a road map anyway, I'm fairly used to it!

[martyn92]

Jonny ill set off as soon as I can but ill have to get the pad fitting kit first and fit it as the pads are about to drop out.
Also how do you want paying for the food?

[Jonny81191]

Ok mate, that'll be fine.

Just chuck me some cash on the ferry or something.

[the milkman]

Just so I know its only me, jonnly, carl, fooby, tom and martyn going on this or someone I don't know about?

[martyn92]

My girlfriend (Emma) is coming with me too

[rocker8742]

Jonny you got a list of what your taking mate? Trying to think if ive missed anything

[c.gerrard]

Just take many things

Sooo fookin shattered. We are really cutting it close to get my car done in time
