Afternoon all!

I'm now fully back on the boards having been concentrating on buying my new house, moving in and then letting the missus unpack for me. Thanks, dear.

Anyhoo, this next Ring trip is heading our way very rapidly (only 37 days to go for me, the LSB and SBC).

So, for those who said "maybe" at Easter, who's going to firm that to a "hell, yes"?

Confirmed attendees are:

BenHampton (& missus)
SBC (& OMGSBC)
Kobe
Sportyking?
granteds2k?

C'mon! Who's up for it?


Ben

Unless I win the lottery, I'm sitting this one out. However if I win the lottery, well I'll be there, and probably in something nicer than an s2k.

Good - has she unpacked the video footage from THE LAST TRIP???

Sorry, I think that was a bit too subtle:
DVD on hold until all footage in. Waiting on 1 more

I'm not sure whether to buy a Pagani Zonda or a Corvette Z06 with my lottery jackpot from the weekend, esp. after Tiff raved about it so much on this evening's Fifth Gear.

*wishes too*

Sorry Steve - I'll down to Trumpcards this week and d/l his in-car footage.

Hopefully, I'll be OK to bung the whole lot on a DVD and post that to you shortly.

Apologies.

Still, the precedent from last year's DVD isn't great is it? : )

Hence, why I'm trying to rewrite that particular historical foible.
I've put most of the Bruenchen exit corner slidey stuff that GTFCTIM shot into a trailer-kind of thing. I'll have to publish it so's you can see that something is actually happening!

Thread hijack over

Want me to kick the armco at Adenau Forst for you? : )

If you like

The new HKS is on, but I have to get out of the car to hear it - apart from at 3500rpm to around 4300rpm, where it's a bit more bassy. And I don't know if it's just that 1) I haven't driven the car for ages; 2) I've stripped all the carpet and lining from the boot; or 3) the ECU hasn't remapped itself yet, but the car feels just that bit faster accelerating now....

I can recommend an S2KUK membership - it's saved me 15% on parts from a (reasonably local) stealer.

Final point: I REALLY need to get the GT roof stored somewhere...
