Silverstone, Ring, Monza And Spa In 8 Days

[Marlin]

Yeah, it's easy to sit here and say "buy something", but the realities are not so simple. Dealing with the questionable reliabilty of a 2nd hand car would be a bit of a stress too.

I look forward to ye ole Silver getting to Europe so we can treat them to a bit of Briz Gate

Yeh, well back in country 5 hours and back at my old desk thinking about having to get a new apartment and somewhere to live....makes me want to take my already packed bags and head back....

[phunky_monkey]

Yep that's exactly our thought. Buy an e36 m3 put a set of semis on it and use that and sell at the end. Shouldn't cost more than 2 or 3k euro and you could do a few track days and drive it everywhere in between. Exige is a big outlay thoug.

The exige was awesome. Great car. Even with the supercharged 240hp don I still reckon it could easily use at least 50hp more. By the last session we could hang with some pretty serious cars which is not bad at such a fast circuit like spa.

Did you fit into it ok? I never thought I'd have a hope in hell of squeezing into an Exige!

[Marlin]

Just move in with The Baron.... he'd have heaps of room in the new abode

In fact, I spotted the big hunk of spunk on Hot Property the other night.... swanning through inspecting some fancy joint on the water in Sydney..... toffee nosed fark.

I heard about his tv debut He has got a nice pad, and whislt he is tall enough to stand out from a crowd, he probably was a bit too tall to elegantly get in ir out of an Exige

[pattyd89]

top read fellas! hopefully the rest of us can experience something like that sooner rather than later!

[Beer Baron]

well it has to be said, burger ring was good, spa was awesome but the hairiest drive of all was trying to get to my f**king flight at dusseldorf weeze airport in a diesel ford fiesta at warp 5. f**king GPS sent us to weeze AIRFORCE base not the bloody airport. realising my flight closed in 5 mins and we were 5kms away saw briz nav for me as I drove straight through the base, through the airfield, skirted the airport fence till we found a gap and shot through it. a bloke in a backhoe doing some work must have seen the desparate look on my face cause he stopped work and backed out of our way!!! what a champ. troy was a top nav too. i would have vomited about 12 times on that little run. how on earth I made that flight I have no idea. but make it I did.

thanks bris.

[Beer Baron]

PS wish we had the incar from that. it was a f**king spectacular drive if I do say so myself. over hills, through ditches, through the bloody tour de france of bikes. it had it all.

[Roy]

Count...So now that you have returned from your jaunt around the globe....let post up some of those pics i took with your camera at Spa!

[Beer Baron]

yep, will get onto pics this week. have downloaded to PC but that's it so far. need to do a quick sort.

[Roy]

Well...the Near Life Experience 2011 Tour IS ON!!!! This year will be bigger then the past two.

I have been doing 60+ hr weeks since NYE (right now I am writing this from work) and enough is enough. This one will be bigger as I am taking more time off and will have about 4-6 weeks of driving around and having a blast. Most of my homo mates are up to their ears in debt, have no time or have Mrs that wont let them go blow cash so looks like this may be a solo mission this time round. Still have three friends interested, but not overly sure how that will work out.

July - August looks the go. Will be deciding in the next two weeks whether the R32 goes in a container or I buy something in UK and drive through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and into Hungary.

The calender is looking good....there is Zandvoort, Spa, Ring and will be doing Donnington park to shake down the R32 or the new car before heading off to mainland Europe. Doesnt look like there is anything going at Zolder so looking at the logistics of getting from Zandvoort over to Hockenheim for a test and tune day there 48 hours later. There is the German GP, Hugarian GP and my Hungarian mate in Budapest to keep me entertained after the long trip east.

Currently having a good look at an S14...will have to wait and see. After 6 months of ball busting, un-loved work this is going to get a good shake. The best thing is I am off the piss so hopefully I'll medically get the all clear by July and can get back on the drink. Should be a real Cadbury by then so will make things cheap and messy.

I am not sure about the GAY SEX licence plate... That will have to change to Ranga to pull the Eastern European ladies

[Ant97GTR]

Lol Roy trust you to find a track car with a licence plate like that

[phunky_monkey]

Haha love it Troy!!

Very jealous too mate. I will live my holiday wishes vicariously through you mate, you know how to do it. I think g4y sx looks the goods... though I haven't tried it myself. Badoom-tish!

Ahhhhhh... anyways, I dig it. What are the specs?

[Roy]

I figure one man just isnt complete with a POS 2L coupe from the early 90s. He needs one from the late 80s to be complete And they should be in different countries

[Beer Baron]

YEAH BUDDY! it's been nearly a year since we terrorized europe and now you are back to do it again only without me (you cnt).

just make sure you have me on board for 2012..... or I will seriously fking headbutt you next time I see you.

so are you going to reveal brisby's plans for august? and what the car is likely to be to your hungry public?

[Snowman]

Richard - 2012 is locked in for April already.

Don't miss the boat...

PS - your new purchase is so you Brisby.

[chuckie]

hope you get a good car sorted out

[Snowman]

Yeah Cadwell Park looks awesome fun. Looks like a country road more than a race track.

[phunky_monkey]

Think I'll be doing either Spa or the Burgerring next year too, maybe we'll cross paths...

[chuckie]

Yeah Cadwell Park looks awesome fun. Looks like a country road more than a race track.
