  1. Well I've had a shuftie at where we can go on the way up to Amsterdam. There is a Nature Park on the way up which is east of Cologne. I have found the following hotels which are in the park and near Biggesee lake, and there is also Atta Cave nearby.

     

    Anyway let me know what you think and I'll book the rooms. This would be for the Tuesday 28th night only , as I believe the idea is for us all to get to Amsterdam on the Wednesday evening ready for a full day exploring on the Thursday! Ha!.

     

    So the details of the 2 hotels I have found for this single night stop over are as follows:

     

    Ebbegebirge Nature Park

  2. Hello everyone......I have booked the hotel suggested for the Nurburgring as there were only a few rooms left. So I hope this is ok for everyone. If not then they have to be cancelled before July so we don't have any cancellation fees.

     

    So to confirm I have booked the following for 2 nights (26/8 & 27/8).

    Thank you, your booking is now confirmed

  3. Looks great Alan. You can't go wrong with a Mondeo......I've had Skippy's brother (ST24) since he was 8 months old and now 10years later he's still going strong and done nearly 200,000 miles and he's petrol.....they do like long drives though.

    Thanks

  4. Hi stuart,

    I sold a new one to Eric earlier in the year, not sure whether he has used it as I know he's into the Focus more at the moment so he may sell it to you! ha!.

     

    If not i'll keep an eye open for another new one for you.

     

    Thanks

  5. Hi,

    I have replaced Skippy's (he's a Mk4 Xr3i 1.6) fuel pump recently and managed to get a new bosch one off ebay. I will try and find the link. Although I would say that the new one does make more noise than his old one.

     

    Thanks

  6. Having got a nice little pressie from work for a project i did earlier in the year I have finally decided which of the Red Letter day expericences to do and decided to go for the drive in the Ariel Atom.

     

    I've booked it for 20th October at Mallory Park and cant wait! It does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds! ha! Not sure they realise what they have let themselves in for with me driving it, but sure it will be great fun once I get the hang of so much speed!ha! I shall try and get some videos if I can. I'm going with my mate Russell and he has no fear so both of us on the track at the same time will be fun.

     

    I'll let you all know how I get on.

  7. Hi

    You can probably get some nice caliper bits from the Parts Direct people. They get their capilers refurbished and are very good from experience and they are really cheap.....do good deals!

     

    Their number is 01132 637 057

     

    Hope this helps

     

    Thanks

  8. I just booked my ticket and a room at the Premier Inn and thought i'd better let you all know there aren't any hotel rooms left at the Ramada, and not sure how many are left at the Premier Inn (but there aren't any on special offer like last year so maybe they are going fast)......so anyone wanting to go and stay overnight may need to get their room booked bit swiftly! ha!

     

    Look forward to it being another good party.

     

    Take care

    my wife doesn't like them in yellow, i dont think it looks 2 bad, but it can only b ur choice so choose wat u want m8 :biggrin:

    regards mark

     

    Well I think Yellow would be a great colour.....I just love Yellow and with black roof and some nice black and yellow seats and interior it would look brilliant!

     

    It definitely would look great in a nice bumble bee yellow!

     

    Thanks
