I THINK I've got a pass for this, as I've floated it past Mrs. U already.

Put me down as a definite maybe, please, Ben!

I want to go!

How long would it take me to tow the race car from California?

it's certainly worth a visit if you are in Europe, there would be plenty of spare Honda seats at Easter.

If I made the trip I'd rent something. I'm not going out the 'ring to not drive.

But it would be so much more fun to drive this at the ring.

if you let me drive your car in USA, we could do a swap - if you don't mind changing gear with your left hand





do you have any pictures from the back of your car? bumper looks very different..

hmm I might be willing to do that. I actually have 2 s2ks. The race car pictured above and a stock 00 that I drive every day. I'd be willing to trade a Cali track weekend in the street car (w/ RA1's and Race pads) and maybe a session or 2 in the race car. The race car is a quite a bit more fragile and I try to keep the non-race hours down on it now.

I can bring as much "consumables" as the airline would let me bring. If only I could fit my wheels as a checked bag . Show up to the airport w/ four 18" wheels (x9 front, x10 rear).


Regarding bumper, its just a cut off oem one from when I broke a hub a few years ago. It's not pretty. but it was cheaper than a whole new bumper.

I have an American mate (Kurt, for those who were at the Ring this Easter) who lives in Eastern Germany who used to hire various cars solely for thrashing around the Ring.

He's hired Opel Speedsters (VX220 clone), Smart Roadsters, BMW 1 series and Z4. Never said he had taste, though.

I could bung him a line and get some details of reputable hire firms, if you want?

Cheers

Ben

dropping 1000feet in the first half of the lap munches the front pads quite a bit

how do you fit the 10's under the wheel arch, my TE37's are 8.5 and barely fit...did you roll the wing (fender)
