The main reason i bought it was to just have some fun and forget about the show and shine nonsense for a while. ;-) Look forward to seeing you again you smooth talking bar steward.You've conveniently forgotten that your track car is rather bling. You'd do well at a show and shine' date=' or around a track. Well, provided you put a decent driver in the driving seat. Did you ever find that parking space?Ben: Cheers mate. Its a '79 swallow tail.

Thnks for the heads up on the hotel. Get some TT brakes and be done with it, or do you want to keep the diddy wheels because they look nice? :-p Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites

First journey on Friday, and last on Monday, I think. You're more than welcome to a rear seat in my motor if all else fails. If Dave chickens out, you're welcome to a front seat!Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Most mods you buy ususally have a TUV certificate with them.....I know my KONI coilovers did......but never kept, and who does in this country as its not needed! Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Taken from the Ringers Forum discussion about this -"An official meeting has taken place, several people from the TF forum where present as well as officials from the N-GmbH. Foreign cars are not required to have TÃœV papers, however they may not be allowed on track if deemed unsafe, too loud etc" Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'd consider that fair if they turned up in a Citroen BX....I guess it give them more rights to turn away cars that could be potential death traps (not including the driver) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 The current thinking on the Ringers Forum is that they will use it to keep Max Power cars off the track/away, hooray, and to make sure obviously race prep'd cars have been done properly. Andy might, what am I saying, WOULD have had a problem with the Beemer but since he is now going for a 'rental', which all have TUV certification, everything should be OK. After all most Golf mods come form Germany where everything sold has to be TUV approved. Link to post Share on other sites
