Hey buddy check out these pace notes I found. I think these will help quite a bit to combat the unexpected hairpin at 90mph.

life saver?

also found this route map with suggested gears and warnings. I'm gonna get it all printed and laminated I think.

useful

I am going to be doing my level best to shmoosh up to a few of these ''Ringers'' I keep reading aboput for a passenger ride in a real car. Something with over 350ftlb and 400bhp would be nice...

Have you got your Euro driving stuff ready - breathalyser, headlight beam deflectors, GB sticker, hi-vis jacket, blah, blah, blah?

The car alrady has a triangle, first aid kit etc in it. 8-)

I hope I will meet a lot of members from the famous UK clubs (LG, PUK, LB, etc). You are not so far away guys :) We (the Bulgarian fanclub) will have two cars for the event - mine, and batkosio's. We will have to travel 1900 km to Nurburgring and this is only in one direction. The travel costs are something around 500 EUR in both directions. I have to point that the average monthly wage here is about 370 EUR :) So... don't be shy :lol: :lol:

I've done everything I've wanted to do:

- Clean EGR valve & ports,
- Sea Foam (1 in fuel tank & 1 through intake),
- Replace distributor cap and rotor,
- Replace spark plugs,
- Replace fuel filter,
- Replace O2 sensor,
- Fit in-car video recorder.

I've upgraded my breakdown cover for Europe and notified the insurance company that I'll be in Europe for a few days. Have also bought the items required for European driving such as the breathalyser, headlight beam deflectors and GB sticker.

I've got Thursday off work to wash & wax The Lude ready for the weekend.

@lewd lude lover are you and Nick getting on the same ferry? What's Nick's username?

I think nick logged on as 'oddoneout' being he ownes a scooby but he has been keeping up on the meet details via the group on FB. We are staying over at a friends in dover on thus night and getting on the 6:40am ferry, pride of kent.

what time are you hitting calais? do you want to meet and convoy? I will be traveling at 60-65mph to conserve fuel with the occasional squrt if on a nice road to offset that saving :lol:

Would it be OK if I meet with you two guys at Dover? I'll see if I can book myself on the same ferry.

Sounds perfect to me. I usually drive at 60 mph anyway (I'm old and I drive a 5G).
