  1. Just found out from Northloop that the Truck Grand Prix is over that weekend, so camp site will be busy and noisey.
  2. Fair play to you Matt, you've put your hand up to it, so I certainly don't have a problem. It was suggested on another forum that you'd simply missed the Dutch border as the signage past Aachen is poor. Glad you enjoyed the rest of the trip. Absolute shame about the weather but you got rewarded for your dedication.
  3. I think so. Yours only has 600mah batteries in. No wonder they kept going flat ;-)
  4. it should have either 30, 109 or 299 printed on it. It's in relay position 3 which is 3 in from the left on the second row above the fuses.
  5. No problem. Are you returning to the 'Ring to give it back? Cheers' date=' Andy [/quote'] I can pick it up at the GTi spring fest and bring it down to the Bristol Volks fest, if you'll be there Andy.
  6. it's to do with the browser, not your fault. I see what they mean when Ben's tent was described as a barn.
  7. All adds to making the weekend more memorable. He suggested that I should pop up for dinner when I'm there camping, or should that be sleeping under canvas ;-) , in July!
  8. Maybe I'm exaggerating my view on the difference between 'comments on' and 'discussions about' Indeed it can't have been a fun experience.
  9. I was going to start an entire new thread for hotel banter. Just so that I could ignore it completely. I already get enough from Donna!
  10. It's a tricky one. I agree the discussion needn't get personal like it did. But it happened, they've paid the price, no one is boasting about it so I don't think that we should sweep it under the carpet. I will make one quick edit though...
  11. Follow the link in Ingham's post and use a translation website. As VDubGirl said above any flame post will be removed so let's keep the conversation friendly and constructive Here's a link about someone getting 150hrs community service in the UK for being caught doing the same speed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/gloucestershire/6662143.stm Personally my free time is worth more than £10 an hour to me.
  12. According to a Dutch news website they got a 1870E fine = £1500
  13. and how many hadn't seen it before? 4 or 5 ;-) on a serious note http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7312477.stm makes you gladder that we all made it back to the UK safely.
  14. sounds good to me Ben. I can always do with more space in the car for gadgets.
  15. No worries' date=' my navigating bird could have done better or maybe I should just learn my Left from my Right. Dread to think what my mobile bill is going to be like, especially using GPRS to view the webcam before deciding what time to get out of bed. I was so pleasantly surprised by the weather on Sunday, far better then we could possibly imagine following Saturday. Did indeed have a good time, although I only drove one lap. My tyres had me understeering like no bodies business but at least they kept me moving in a straight line on the none toll roads. Anyway made up for it with pax
  16. NigelP on a snowy track with AndyL and passengers in background http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b207/wh00sher/Misc/DSC_7100.jpg
  17. thought you'd be happy. My apologies to the beemer drivers, but my eyes are only tuned to spot VDubs in thumbnails, especially at 1 O'clock in the morning. After driving back the hotel on Saturday afternoon, up and down un ploughed roads we thought we'd seen as much snow as we would. Others have car pictures proving that was a bit over optimistic. The new all weather MK5.5 GTi in action
  18. I've now seen a similar thing on 2 MK3 16Vers. Mine would become lumpy mid range when warm and the other lost power in high revs when warm and it was down to the ECU supply relay. http://www.tiepie.com/uk/automotive/GMTO/VW_Golf_problem.html I'll have to double check which relay position is used on a VR and the number printed on it. On a 16ver it has 30 written on it but that's not to say a VR uses the same number. After all the money you've spent - I spent a fair bit before finding it :-( - a tenner on a relay even if just to see, unless you can borrow one, doesn't seem extreme. TG P.s. wa
