Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Just to give us as much time as possible to get over to Germany and then get everything (tents etc) set up in daylight - and I'm sure a few of our party will be hoping that it is still light when we get there so they can have a few laps !!!!

jesterwalker69 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Ollie - pull your finger out mate and bung it on your credit card as Pete says this is going to be one hell of a trip !!!Its not so much the cost any more, more the fact the car will have had £5k's worth of bodywork (if you go buy The Phirms quote!) including a full re-spray so i don't fancy ruining that with stone chips!!Plus the ATB's will have just been re-furb'd as well.... :S Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Snow againHere's some nifty weather software for Pocket PCs and Smartphones: http://www.singerscreations.com/Software.aspIt's especially good for roaming as the data packet it receives is only about 15K, rather than browsing to a web page where you'll have to pay for fetching the graphics and background crap each time.And there's a desktop version too. But I doubt I'll have my desktop with me. ;-)The code for the Nurburg region is GMXX0155TG Link to post Share on other sites

jesterwalker69 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hmmmm i was told to leave it for about 4 weeks as the paint needs the time to breath and expel ALL the fumes etc. Waxing etc seals these gases in and starts ruining the paint work from under the wax... :S Link to post Share on other sites
